Questions Worth Answering Before You Call

Do you want to be there? Pet's Rest offers witness cremation by appointment for $85 and up, and burial in its St. Francis pet cemetery. Restful Pets offers a group burial from $399.
Where will your vet send your pet? Some Bay Area vets, including A Gentle Rest, send individual cremations to Animal Memorial Service in Gilroy, which is owned by Gateway Services, a group we do not recommend. If you want an independent crematory, tell your vet which one you have chosen.
