Pet Cremation - Honolulu, Hawaii
Pet Cremation in Honolulu, HI
Oahu has no water cremation for pets at all, and because Hawaii is a 2,500-mile ocean crossing from the mainland there is no practical way to ship a pet to a mainland crematory. So every cremation on the island is handled by a small handful of local operators, several of whom come to your home. We gathered them and picked three worth calling.

Our Recommended Providers in Honolulu
We reviewed the available options and selected these providers based on transparency, communication, and value.
Aloha Oe Pet Crematory
Best for families whose pet passed at home and who want a straightforward, low-cost cremation without going through a vet clinic.
Typical range
$75 to $175
medium dog
Aloha Oe publishes every price on its own site: communal cremation billed by weight, about $75 for a medium dog, and private cremation from $125 to $300 by weight with a complimentary urn included. They come to your home for pickup across Oahu, $50 for most of Honolulu and the west and central side, $75 for the Windward side, the North Shore and East Honolulu, and they deliver the ashes back to you.
One thing to know: They do not handle pickups from veterinary clinics, so if your pet is being put to sleep at a vet this is not the right fit. Turnaround time is not published, so ask when you call. Weekend pickups and pets over 100 pounds add $25.
Arms of Aloha
Best for families who want their pet put to sleep at home and cremated without a second handoff.
Typical range
from $400
medium dog
This is a mobile veterinary end-of-life practice that performs euthanasia in your home and can carry the pet straight into cremation, so you are not driving your pet anywhere afterward. Cremation prices are published by size, $375 for cats and small dogs up to $600 for giant breeds, with a mahogany urn and a clay paw print included, and a medium dog is $400 before a travel-zone fee. Ashes are delivered back to you islandwide.
One thing to know: It is the most expensive option here. A medium dog is $400 before a travel-zone fee of $100 to $300, and after-hours or weekend visits add another $100. Communal cremation is only offered bundled into a euthanasia visit when you do not want ashes returned. Turnaround time is not published.
Hawaiian Humane Society
Best for families on a tight budget, especially if the pet is already being euthanized at the shelter.
Typical range
$75 to $325
medium dog
The nonprofit publishes a full price list: communal cremation is $50 to $75 and private cremation is $225 to $325 depending on weight, with combined euthanasia and cremation packages also listed. Euthanasia is available at its Honolulu campus, and walk-ins are accepted for emergencies, which matters when a pet is suffering late at night.
One thing to know: Everything happens at the Honolulu campus, so you bring the pet in; there is no home pickup or in-home service. Turnaround time is not published, so ask at drop-off. As a busy shelter, the experience is more clinical than a private crematory.
