Private Pet Cremation & What Happens?

Private pet cremation is something us as pet parents will consider when we have or are about to lose a special pet.  Losing a beloved pet is an emotionally challenging experience. The unconditional love and companionship our companions provide leave an indelible mark on our hearts. At Legacy Pet, we understand the profound bond between pets and their owners, and we are dedicated to guiding you through this difficult time with dignity, integrity and compassion.

One of the special ways we honour your pet’s memory is through our private cremation service, which allows you to have a moment to say goodbye. We recognise the importance of commemorating your pet’s life in a meaningful way and we offer a unique opportunity for you to be present in our comfort room during the cremation process.

Speak to your vet, welfare or contact us directly. Our compassionate team will guide you through the process of arranging a private cremation for your pet. Our professional staff will ensure that the entire process is carried out with dignity and compassion, honouring your pet’s memory throughout.

During the private pet cremation, you have the option to be present at one of our sites in Randburg, Philippi, or Cato Ridge if you choose. You will have an opportunity to wait in a serene and peaceful setting, knowing that your beloved pet is receiving the utmost care and attention.

Following the cremation, you will receive your pet’s ashes in a beautiful scatter box to take home. You may then scatter them in a place that held significance to your pet, bury them in a special spot, or keep them in a cherished urn, the choice is yours. This allows you to create a personalised tribute and express your gratitude for the unwavering love and companionship your pet provided.

At Legacy Pet Crematorium, we understand that the grieving process extends beyond the cremation service itself. We are committed to offering ongoing support and additional services to help you navigate through this difficult time. Our team can provide resources for memorialisation ideas, and assistance with personalised keepsakes to honour your pet’s memory.

Wishing you a peaceful season
