Pet Haven Cemetery & Crematory
Best for families who want an established crematory with burial and a witnessed option.
Contact for pricing
Pet Haven is a long-established pet cemetery and crematory on Onondaga Hill that runs three on-site crematories for private cremation, one pet at a time, and it is the local option that also offers burial, memorial plots and a witnessed cremation by appointment. It handles transport from veterinary offices and returns ashes in two to three days, with a 24-hour expedited option.
One thing to know: It publishes no prices, so quotes are by phone and depend on your pet's weight, and it does not list a communal option online. It offers flame cremation rather than water cremation.
Stillwaters Veterinary Care
Best for families who want water cremation with published prices, or an in-home goodbye.
Typical range
$85 to $275
medium dog
Stillwaters is a Syracuse veterinary practice offering water cremation, or aquamation, with posted prices: for a medium dog, a communal cremation is $85 and an individual one $275. It also provides in-home euthanasia across Central New York and euthanasia at its comfort center, so the goodbye and the aftercare can be handled together.
One thing to know: Its water cremation is a gentler water-based process rather than flame, so it is not the choice if you specifically want a traditional cremation, and in-home euthanasia carries a travel-based fee. It does not offer burial.
