Pet Cremation - Billings, Montana
Pet Cremation in Billings, MT
Billings is a small, thin cremation market where nearly every provider quotes by phone: only one independent, Faithful Friend Animal Memories in nearby Laurel, publishes a full price list, about $120 communal to $190 private for a medium dog. The other credible options, a long-standing independent crematory in Billings and the metro's one full-service pet funeral home, take a call. Providers cluster tightly around Billings and Laurel in Yellowstone County, full-service extras like in-home euthanasia and a witnessed cremation come only through the funeral home, and no local water cremation could be confirmed.
