Pet Cremation - Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Pet Cremation in Sioux Falls, SD
Sioux Falls is a quote-by-phone cremation market built around a single independent crematory: Forever Friends Pet Cemetery in Worthing handles the actual cremations that the city's veterinarians and the Humane Society arrange, and it publishes no prices of its own. The only published pricing anywhere in the metro comes from the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society, which lists dog cremation from $150 to $250 by weight, about $175 for a medium dog. There is no water cremation anywhere in the metro, and in-home euthanasia comes through local veterinary groups rather than dedicated cremation providers.

Forever Friends Pet Cemetery & Cremation Services
Best for families who want the metro's one independent crematory, with a burial option.
Contact for pricing
Forever Friends is the Sioux Falls metro's one independent, family-run pet crematory and cemetery, and it is the facility most local veterinarians and the Humane Society actually route their cremations through. It offers private cremation with the ashes returned in a paw-print tin urn and a group option, plus burial plots, caskets and markers, with home or veterinary pickup.
One thing to know: It publishes no prices, so quotes are by phone, including a distance and weight based pickup fee. It does not offer aquamation, and it is in Worthing, about 12 miles south of the city, with limited weekday and Saturday-morning hours.
Sioux Falls Area Humane Society
Best for families who want the metro's only published prices from a trusted nonprofit.
Typical range
$150 to $250
medium dog
The Sioux Falls Area Humane Society is the only provider in the metro that publishes cremation prices, laid out by dog weight from $150 to $250, about $175 for a medium dog. As an in-city nonprofit it is generally the lowest-cost path, and it is a stable community institution.
One thing to know: Its published prices do not state whether they are private, with the ashes returned, or communal, so confirm which service $175 buys by phone. It does not do the cremation itself, routing every cremation through Forever Friends, so timing depends on that partner, and it does not offer aquamation.
All City Pet Care
Best for families who want euthanasia and cremation arranged in one place, including after hours.
Contact for pricing
All City Pet Care is the largest independent local veterinary group, with three Sioux Falls locations including a 24-hour emergency hospital, so euthanasia and cremation can be arranged in one place. It publishes its euthanasia pricing and offers in-home euthanasia, which helps when the goodbye and the aftercare are handled together.
One thing to know: It publishes no cremation prices, quoting by phone, and it does not name its crematory partner on its site, so the actual crematory and turnaround are unclear until you ask. It does not offer aquamation or a witnessed cremation.
