Our Recommended Providers in Boise
We reviewed the available options and selected these providers based on transparency, communication, and value.
Goodnight Moon Aquamation
Best for families who want a greener goodbye and want to know the price before they call.
Typical range
$155 to $400
medium dog
Goodnight Moon is the one provider in the valley that posts complete pricing on its own site, with communal aquamation for a medium dog at $155 and private starting at $370. Aquamation uses water rather than flame, and the private package includes an engraved urn or scatter tube, an ink paw print, a fur clipping and home delivery. They run a 24-hour pickup line, which matters when a pet dies at night.
One thing to know: They do not offer flame cremation, so if you specifically want traditional cremation this is not the provider. They do not publish turnaround time, and aquamation generally takes longer than flame, so ask when you book. Pickup past 50 miles adds $2.50 per mile and after-hours pickup adds $100.
Gentle Goodbyes
Best for families who want the same trusted hands for the euthanasia at home and the cremation afterward.
Contact for pricing
Gentle Goodbyes handles in-home euthanasia and cremation together, so your pet stays with one provider from the appointment through the return of ashes. They offer three tiers, communal, individual and private, and the individual package includes a wooden box urn with an engraved plaque or a scatter tube. They serve a wide area, from Boise out to Twin Falls and McCall.
One thing to know: They do not publish any prices on their site, so you have to call for a quote. Individual cremation ashes take 10 to 14 business days to come back, which is on the longer side for this market. They do not offer aquamation or witnessed cremation.
Memorial Pet Care
Best for families who want a long-established local crematory that can also handle burial or a large animal.
Contact for pricing
Family owned and operating since 1984, Memorial Pet Care is the oldest pet cremation service in the area, with a certified pet crematory operator on staff and pet cemetery grounds in Meridian for owners who prefer burial to cremation. They handle animals of nearly any size, which covers horses and other large pets most crematories cannot, and they belong to the international pet cemetery and crematory association.
One thing to know: They publish no pricing online, so plan to call. They do not offer in-home euthanasia or aquamation. Their listed office hours are weekday business hours only, which can be hard if you need help on a weekend.
