Pet Cremation - Fresno, California

There is no water cremation anywhere in the Central Valley corridor.

Our Recommended Providers in Fresno
We reviewed the available options and selected these providers based on transparency, communication, and value.
Four Creeks Pet Crematorium
Best for families who want the full price before they call and are willing to use pickup rather than drive.
Typical range
$40 to $400
medium dog
Four Creeks posts a complete price list on its own site, which almost no other provider in the Fresno area does. For a medium dog the communal option starts at about $40, an individual cremation with the ashes returned runs $190 to $230, and a fully private, sole-occupancy cremation is $400. They offer witnessed cremation for $150 with a 24 hour ash return, and they pick up from the Fresno area.
One thing to know: The facility sits in Visalia, roughly 45 miles south of Fresno, so you rely on pickup rather than a short local drive. They do not offer aquamation, in-home euthanasia or burial. Standard turnaround without the witnessed option can run up to 10 days.
Fresno Pet Cemetery
Best for families who want an in-city option and may want burial as well as cremation.
Contact for pricing
Fresno Pet Cemetery is the metro's long-established, in-city independent, and the only local provider that offers in-ground burial and cemetery plots alongside cremation. It has a fixed Fresno location with active recent reviews, and its rates are low enough that other local services route their cremations through it.
One thing to know: It publishes no prices on its own site, so everything is quoted by phone. The website is thin and dated, with no reachable services or pricing page. It does not offer aquamation or in-home euthanasia.
CodaPet
The most price-transparent national in-home euthanasia network
Typical range
$250 to $450
medium dog
Questions Worth Answering Before You Call
Do you want a price before you call? Four Creeks posts a full list, communal from about $40 and a private cremation at $400 for a medium dog, while Fresno Pet Cemetery quotes everything by phone. If comparing numbers matters to you, start with the provider that publishes them.
Do you want ashes back, and do you want to be there? A communal cremation returns no ashes and is cheapest; a private cremation returns only your pet and runs $400 and up locally. Four Creeks also offers a witnessed cremation for $150 if you want to be present.
Do you want to drive, or have your pet picked up? Fresno Pet Cemetery is the in-city option and also offers burial; Four Creeks and CodaPet come to you, which matters if you would rather not make the drive to Visalia.
