Pet Cremation and Memorials

Every pawprint tells a story.

At Hold My Paws, we truly understand the profound bond between humans and their furry friends. We recognise that the loss of a beloved pet can leave a void that is difficult to fill and a grief counsellor is available to provide solace and support during these challenging times. We offer cremation and home burial services to uphold memories of a life well-lived, and our respectful and dignified memorial services provide much needed closure.


Our team is here to guide you through the process of commemorating your cherished companion. We understand the importance of individuality and personal touch, which is why each memorial is carefully tailored to reflect the unique bond you shared.

Whether it's a touching urn on the mantlepiece or a weathered inscribed stone in a tranquil resting place, we are committed to creating a lasting memorial that captures the essence and spirit of your beloved friend.

Our Aftercare Services

Aftercare for a pet is a very personal decision, with no right or wrong way to go about it. There are a range of cremation options, including carefully crafted urns to keep them with you forever, or beautiful weathered stones to place in their favourite resting spot outside.

You can trust us to do the organisation for you, or alternatively, if you prefer being more involved in their aftercare, we will leave them in your hands after our visit.

Individual Cremation

From $375

Your beloved dog, cat or exotic pet will be carefully transported to the crematorium where they will be individually cremated, and their ashes hand-delivered back into your care.

There are a range of memorial options to choose from that can be personalised according to your wishes. From beautifully crafted urns and elegant headstones to carefully selected ash jewelry and unique keepsakes, each memorial is created with the utmost care and attention to detail.

Cremation with others

$220

+$50 for dogs over 20kg

Your pet will be cremated with other loved ones, and the collective ashes scattered in the woodside gardens of our cremation partner. We’ll look after all of the transport for you.

This is a more affordable option for those that choose not to bury their pet.

Home Burial

If you wish to bury your pet at home, we will leave them in your care after the visit, and can provide you with a dignified casket to bury them in.

Grief Counselling

We understand that the grieving process can be overwhelming. Our compassionate staff are here to provide support and guidance throughout every step of the way, and can organise a specialised pet grief counsellor for you. You are never alone in your grief, and we are here to hold your hand and offer comfort.

Funeral Services

At Hold My Paws, we believe that pets deserve the same respect and dignity in death as they did in life. The mission for our funeral service is to provide a space where you can mourn as well as celebrate the life of your beloved pet in a heartfelt and meaningful way. We strive to create a serene environment that allows you to find solace and pay tribute to the memories that will forever hold a special place in your heart.

We transport your pet and any items, letters or poems you would like to go with them to the crematorium, and then deliver their ashes back to you in the memorial you’ve chosen. Frames can be made of their paw and nose prints. We will organise flowers and catering for the day.

For many, funerals can be a source of closure and an outlet for grief amongst loved ones. If you’d like to plan a funeral for your beloved pet, please contact us.

Photography

Photograpy is a lovely way to capture your pet’s individual character and preserve memories of happy times together. If this is something you’re interested in, we can put you in touch with photographers who are dedicated to capturing the best moments with your pet.

Crafted with care.
