Cremation services

The Animal Humane Society offers two types of cremation services to meet the needs of pet owners—private and communal cremation. Each service is provided out of our Golden Valley facility.

Private cremation

We provide this service for families who wish to keep the remains of their pet. Your pet will receive an individual cremation with its remains carefully packaged and returned to you in a standard container. You will also receive a certificate of cremation acknowledging that your pet was cremated at Animal Humane Society.

Private cremation fees are based on weight, not species:

50 lbs. or less $110
51 lbs. or more $145

The remains of your pet will be available for you to pick up approximately seven to 10 business days after your pet is brought to our Golden Valley facility. Urns are available for purchase and range in price from $50 to $150.

Communal cremation

This service is provided for $75 to owners who do not wish to keep the remains of their pet.

Fees for all services are due at the time your pet is brought to the Animal Humane Society. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact our Animal Admission Center at 763-412-4969 or online.
