Contact for pricing
Sister operation of Hart's Mortuary, a Macon family business since 1899.

One of the few Middle Georgia providers offering full burial services with caskets, vaults, and markers. Available 24/7 by phone.
One thing to know: No pricing published online; every quote requires a phone call. Website has limited detail on turnaround times or the differences between exclusive and individual cremation options. No aquamation available.
Petamorphosis
Best for Macon families who want aquamation (water cremation), the only such option in Middle Georgia, or who prefer a female-owned family business.
Typical range
$100 to $250
medium dog
The only aquamation provider in Middle Georgia. Aquamation uses 95% warmed water and 5% alkali (no flame, no combustion), typically returns more ashes than flame cremation, and is gentler on the environment. It publishes its full price list: for a 16 to 65 pound dog, $100 to $130 for communal aquamation and $230 to $250 for individual aquamation with the ashes returned. Owner Lynne Pettite runs the business with her daughter and granddaughter. Ashes returned in hand-carved natural wood boxes with paw and nose prints. Partnership with the People & Pets Project provides free service for families who cannot afford it, with veterinarian recommendation.
One thing to know: Home pickup costs extra, and the exclusive tier, where you can witness your pet being placed, is priced on request. Aquamation typically takes a day or two longer than flame cremation. Website is minimal.
Questions Worth Answering Before You Call
Decide between flame and water cremation. Hart's Petuary offers traditional flame cremation (exclusive, individual, and group) plus full burial. Petamorphosis is Middle Georgia's only aquamation provider, using water and alkali instead of flame, typically returning more ashes and producing no combustion byproducts.
Decide whether burial is on the table. Hart's Petuary is the only Macon provider offering full pet burial with caskets, vaults, and markers, tied to the 125-year Hart's Mortuary family tradition.
Call for a specific weight quote. Petamorphosis publishes its full price list, $100 to $130 communal and $230 to $250 with the ashes returned for a 16 to 65 pound dog; Hart's is quote-only. Ask what is included (urn, pickup, ashes return) when you call.
