CLS Cremation Services
Best for families who want to speak to the actual Skaneateles processor or have a veterinarian arrange the transfer.
Contact for pricing
CLS performs individual aqua cremation at 2200 Coon Hill Road in Skaneateles and also offers individual flame cremation. Individual water-cremation remains are returned with a certificate, and optional urns, jewelry and clay prints are available. Stillwaters identifies CLS as the water-cremation facility for its Syracuse, Ithaca and Utica families.
One thing to know: CLS publishes no direct price or full return window. Its site does not define a family drop-off schedule, pickup radius or witnessing policy, so confirm the handoff before travelling. Stillwaters collection and return terms are a separate arrangement and should not be assumed to be CLS direct terms.
Questions Worth Answering Before You Call
Ask who is taking custody and who is doing the water process. CLS performs individual aqua cremation in Skaneateles; Stillwaters explicitly names CLS as its Syracuse-area partner, so a Stillwaters appointment is an arranged transfer.
Compare complete totals, not the aftercare fee alone. Stillwaters lists $275 to $300 individual water cremation for 26 to 75 pounds, plus $250 pickup within 50 miles during regular hours or $325 after hours. CLS does not publish its direct prices.
Confirm intake and return arrangements before driving. CLS is about 18 driving miles from central Syracuse, but family drop-off terms are not posted. Stillwaters has no drop-off hours and gives a 1 to 3 week returned-ashes window for its own arrangement.
