Pet Cremation - Reading, Pennsylvania
Pet Cremation in Reading, PA
We found no pet crematory in Reading or Berks County with a website we could check, so families here choose between two options to the northeast: a pet cemetery and crematory in Mertztown about 20 miles away, and a family crematory in Hellertown, about 50 miles away, where you can watch. Neither publishes prices.
Our Recommended Providers in Reading
We reviewed the available options and selected these providers based on transparency, communication, and value.

Lehigh Valley Animal Crematory
Best for Reading families who want to watch the cremation or have the ashes back quickly.
Contact for pricing
Lehigh Valley Animal Crematory is a family-owned crematory on Front Street in Hellertown, about 50 miles from Reading. You can view a private cremation from its viewing area for an additional fee, it says it calls within 24 to 48 hours when your pet is ready, and communal ashes are scattered on a local farm.
One thing to know: It publishes no prices, it is the longer drive, and transport from your home or vet costs extra, so ask for a total that includes Reading.
Questions Worth Answering Before You Call
Do you want to be there? Lehigh Valley Animal Crematory has a viewing area for private cremations, for an added fee. Keystone does not describe one, so ask.
Do you want burial as an option? Keystone also has its own pet cemetery, so you can weigh both in one call.
Who will collect your pet? Lehigh Valley Animal Crematory collects from homes and vets for a fee. Ask Keystone whether it collects from Reading. If your pet is at your vet, ask which crematory the clinic uses.
