The 5 best pet cremation services in Brisbane to memorialize your furry friend
When my first dog passed away, I didn’t want to let him go—because in my head, he was still breathing, barking, and running. But as my tears dampened his thick fur, I realized that it was time to bring him to his final resting place—his favorite spot in our backyard.
It was in that moment of grief that I had the intrusive thought of digging him out and getting one more hug, one more sniff, or one more belly rub. I shared this with one of my friends, and she said, “Well, you should’ve just had him cremated.”
And maybe I should have. But for those of you whose journey to pet loss is just beginning, with thoughts of cremation to memorialize your furry friend—we have here the best pet cremation services in Brisbane that care enough to support you during one of life’s hardest goodbyes.
| How much do pet cremation services cost in Brisbane? Private pet cremation services in Brisbane cost around $385, with the ashes returned to you in a memorial keepsake. Factors affecting the cost include memorialization options (urns, paw prints, etc.), pet size, and other services. |
1. Pet Angel Funerals
Address: Unit 9/66 Pritchard Rd
Phone: +61 1800 738 264
Business hours:
- Monday-Friday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Saturday & Sunday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM
At Pet Angel Funerals, the process begins with arranging when and where your pet will be collected. During that first call, past clients remembered the kindness and empathy shown to them, which helped ease the weight of the moment.
Once your pet is in their care, they’ll reach out the next business day to discuss cremation details—giving you space to grieve before taking the next step. With clear explanations and a gentle approach, clients say they never felt rushed or pressured to decide.
Prices for individual cremations start at $300, with the final cost depending on your pet’s size and choice of urn. This includes returning your pet’s ashes, but it’s worth noting that there have been instances where deliveries were late and were even sent to the wrong address.
What’s nice is that pet owners appreciate other thoughtful inclusions like a lock of fur and an ink paw print. There’s also the ‘Cremation with a Friend’ option for $198, where your pet is cremated alongside others—their ashes are scattered at Eden Ridge Farm.
Lovely to deal with on the phone
“We lost our beautiful, sweet boy, Jethro unexpectedly last week at almost 15 years of age. This has been the most difficult experience but everything with Pet Angels has been nothing but kind, professional and compassionate from start to finish. We are so grateful to our vet for recommending Pet Angels. Mia was so lovely to deal with on the phone when organising arrangements and every person I spoke to since were amazing as well. We picked up our baby yesterday and the whole experience was beautiful and sad. This company’s attention to detail, sensitivity and quality of services is next to none and we cannot thank you enough.”

Treated with such kindness and respect
“We lost our beautiful Dane of 11 years recently due to a quick decline of her health. We were distraught and weren’t sure how to move forward with returning our Harpie home. I found Pet Angels through google and all I can say is how much easier they made the experience for us. Paul picked up our girl and treated her with such kindness and respect. I didn’t feel pressured to make a decision quickly and the process up until collecting her put our minds at ease. I knew she was in safe hands. Her urn is beautiful and seeing her paw prints and little black and white chest fur again was so special.”

2. Paws to Heaven
Address: Unit 11/4 Pinacle St
Phone: +61 7 3059 9536
Business hours: Monday-Sunday, 24 hours
Instead of fire, Paws to Heaven uses water to cremate your late pet—a more eco-friendly option. The resulting ashes are the same, and even remind some pet owners of how their furry friend loved splashing in the water.
Clients love their urns, which come in Chetan White with gold pawprints, cat figurines, a lotus heart design, and more—priced from $119 to $160. Still, some clients reported receiving the wrong urn and being charged for extras they didn’t ask for, like poems and candles.
It helps that they have a patient team whom customers thank for keeping them updated, from pickup to delivery. Not to mention the flexible payment options through Afterpay and ZipPay that let you split the cost into interest-free installments.
Paws’ cremation packages range from $400 for the scatter tube to $555 for the outdoor plaque. Each comes with complimentary pet loss counseling, a 90-minute one-on-one session with a psychologist from Sunset Vets, a trusted palliative and end-of-life care service.
Kind, compassionate, and kept us updated
“We lost our beautiful cat Daphne to cancer when she was only one a half, and I’m so glad we found Paws to Heaven to help us honour her memory. Sharon was amazing — she was so kind and compassionate and I knew immediately that we’d made the right choice. She called to let us know when she’d collected Daphne from our vet, explained everything really clearly and kept us updated over the next few days until Simon hand-delivered Daphne home to us. The urn and certificate are so beautiful, and Sharon’s care and communication helped us navigate an incredibly heartbreaking time a little more easily. Thank you, Sharon, Simon and the Paws to Heaven team!”

Beautiful selection of urns
“Paws to Heaven have taken care of all of our elderly pets when they pass. The amazing compassion, care and service they provide makes a difficult time that little bit easier. Their beautiful selection of urns makes for a fitting reminder of our much loved babes. Thank you Sharon for all your care.”

3. Pets Forever Cremation
Address: 65 Castle Hill Dr
Phone: +61 433 031 015
Business hours: Monday-Sunday, 24 hours
Upon booking, Pets Forever Cremation gives your pet a unique ID number, allowing them to track their journey and keep you informed about their location. This has reassured a lot of clients that they’ll get their pet’s remains, not someone else’s.
Grieving pet owners praise the team for their compassion and knowledge, kindly answering all questions and clearly explaining the process. Even so, a few clients mentioned feeling unsupported after an employee criticized them for asking too many questions.
The upside is that every cremation is carried out with sensitivity for all kinds of pets—not just cats and dogs, but also birds, reptiles, guinea pigs, fish, and more. If you’d rather not have their ashes returned, you can choose the Goodbye Package, priced from $120 to $300.
Other packages are categorized into Bronze, Silver, and Gold Class, with prices increasing by each tier and pet size from $200 to $500. Clients like that each package includes a care bear, a private funeral, a certificate of cremation, as well as quick collection and personal return.
Calm, patient service and a great range of possibilities
“Absolutely awesome team, who make this heartbreaking process as smooth as it can be. Calm, patient, helpful and tactful service from Ryan and Kim throughout. Every question I had was answered swiftly and kindly. Losing a treasured pet is awful, but Pets Forever helped me to begin to manage the loss. The choice of their services is huge, definitely a great range of possibilities for pet owners. Both Ryan and Kim showed genuine compassion for me during this process. They were recommended by my vet, and I can definitely see why. Thank you guys.”

So respectful and professional
“Our beautiful little Grace left us to go to higher places, it was an early Saturday morning that I called and within about 40 minutes Ryan was out to collect her. The service was fit for our little “queen”. Ryan was so respectful and professional and such a smooth process from pick up through to delivery of our little one’s ashes. There was no pressure or expectation put on us at any time. We were offered any of the services available without judgement on what we chose. Great business, gold star rating from us.”

4. Pets In Peace
Address: 22/24 Babdoyle St
Phone: +61 1800 100 909
Business hours:
- Monday-Friday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Saturday & Sunday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Since 1999, Pets in Peace has earned a loyal client base who can vouch for their smooth and time-efficient cremation process. Some had everything done in just a week—or even five days—with their wishes respected and extra room to sort out the payment, if needed.
In every interaction, the team is said to be incredibly empathetic, understanding, and compassionate. However, some felt the initial call came off as more transactional than caring, with little warmth or comforting words.
What makes a difference is the variety of packages—scattering, ceramic, wood, metal, memorial, tribute, and eco options. These are accompanied by urn choices, plus keepsakes such as garden plaques, fur clippings, and eternal candles.
Let’s not forget Pets in Peace’s private memorial room, where families can hold a viewing or funeral for their pet. Many appreciated how thoughtfully it was arranged with pillows and flowers, giving them a meaningful way to say their final goodbyes.
Beautifully done viewing
“We used the Pets in Peace cremation services for our boy Teddy. My daughter couldn’t be there at the vet when he sadly had to be sent over Rainbow Bridge so we organised a viewing for when she was in Brisbane. This was done so beautifully by Pets in Peace, Teddy was on a pillow with flowers between his little paws and candles lit in the room. This is such a great service and really helped my daughter say a final goodbye. The service from Pets in Peace all the way from the first call until just now when they delivered the garden plaque has been really compassionate and professional. Thank you to the team for making this horrid time so much more bearable.”
- Michelle Wilson, Google Review
Smooth and easy process
“This is our third time using the services of Pets at Peace; Everytime has been a smooth and easy process. Communication is always on point, they were understanding and compassionate when it came to needing a little extra time to get the money together and have been extremely time efficient with returning him. Kym (m) dropped our Son off today, we’re happy to have him back home, where he belongs. We will continue to use Pets at Peace.”

5. Pets Eternal Brisbane
Address: 55 Brightwell St
Phone: +61 7 3200 0121
Business hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM
A member of the International Association of Pet Cemeteries & Crematories, Pets Eternal Brisbane brings you transparently priced packages—starting with the Eternal Paw Package 1 (Timber Box) from $510. Then there’s Package 2, from $560, but with a paw print urn.
From pickup to delivery, pet parents are grateful for the team’s caring and supportive service. Pets are gently collected in a comfortable van and returned safely in their chosen boxes, urns, or scatter pouches and tubes, by respectful staff.
To those who prefer not to get their pet’s ashes back, Pets Eternal offers ‘Cremation with Friends.’ This involves cremating your pet with one to two others and having their ashes scattered in the crematorium’s memorial garden.
On the downside, there are pet owners who reported they were misinformed about urn features and felt left to figure things out on their own. It didn’t help that communication was poor throughout the process, with delayed updates and missing receipts.
Compassionate, sensitive, and caring service
“Thank you so much to the amazing team at Eternal Pets. The compassionate, sensitive and caring service my partner and I received after losing our Fur baby Nikau was outstanding. The empathy shown, and understanding that we had just lost a family never and not just an animal, was AMAZING! Very reasonably priced, and from start to finish they were top notch. Would recommend to everyone and anyone!”

Able to collect our beloved girl from the vet on a Saturday
“I was so impressed with Pets Eternal. They were able to collect our beloved girl from the vet on a Saturday morning, which we so appreciated. I drove out to choose an urn for Bella’s ashes and the ladies were lovely and compassionate. They delivered her to our home so she could be reunited with us after her cremation. I would definitely recommend them in your time of need.”
