flat packages

One thing to know: The three online package descriptions do not clearly explain their differences. Adoring Pet names Macomb and Oakland counties, not Washtenaw, as its regular service area; ask about Ann Arbor collection and its cost. No communal price is posted.
Nature's Way Pet Aquamation
Best for Ann Arbor families comparing a no-return scatter choice with ashes returned.
Typical range
$150 to $200
medium dog
Nature's Way runs its own aquamation facility at 2918 N East Street in Lansing, about 67 driving miles from Ann Arbor. Its Pet Aquamation page lists $150 for individually processed scatter care and $200 for individual care with ashes returned for a 21 to 70 pound dog; return is estimated at 7 to 10 days.
One thing to know: The $150 scatter choice does not return ashes, although pets are processed individually. Free vet collection applies in Greater Lansing, not expressly in Washtenaw County; home pickup is quoted by distance and size. No witnessed placement policy is posted.
