Pet Cremation in Long Beach, CA
Long Beach's one pet crematory no longer has a working website, so the options we could confirm are just outside the city: a Gardena cemetery that has done private flame cremation since 1948, and two water cremation providers, one with its facility in Wilmington, next door. Two of the three publish starting prices.

Our Recommended Providers in Long Beach
We reviewed the available options and selected these providers based on transparency, communication, and value.
Pet Haven Cemetery & Crematory
Best for Long Beach families who want a flame cremation done one pet at a time at a long-established cemetery.
Contact for pricing
Pet Haven has cared for pets on South Figueroa Street in Gardena, about 12 miles from Long Beach, since 1948. It says it only does private cremation, one pet at a time in order of arrival, returns the ashes in a standard urn, and offers a personal call service to collect your pet. Scattering in its Memory Garden is free.
One thing to know: It publishes no prices, so call for a quote, and it does not offer a communal option. It does not state a turnaround, though it says it will give you an estimate when you call.
South Bay Pet Aquamation
Best for Long Beach families who want the closest facility and a low starting price.
Typical range
from $130
water cremation, starting price
South Bay Pet Aquamation works from its facility in Wilmington, next door to Long Beach, and offers water cremation from $130, varying by weight. Pickup is free in some parts of Long Beach, it takes calls day and night, and ashes come back within 14 days.
One thing to know: It does water cremation only, the $130 is for the smallest pets, and pickup outside its free zone is charged by mileage, so ask what applies to your street.
Honor Pet
Best for Long Beach families who want water cremation with clear starting prices, or the euthanasia and aftercare from one team.
Typical range
$180 to $349
water cremation, starting price
Honor Pet does water cremation only and books it online: communal from $180, with the remains scattered on a nature reserve in Temecula, and individual from $349 for pets up to 19 lbs, returned in its Honor Box of keepsakes. It serves Los Angeles and Orange County and also does euthanasia at home or at its Comfort Center.
One thing to know: It does not offer flame cremation, and the prices rise with weight, so a medium dog costs more than the starting figure.
