Pet Cremation - Chattanooga, Tennessee
Pet Cremation in Chattanooga, TN
Chattanooga's pet cremation market runs from a full-service local crematory to a low-cost nonprofit and a national in-home service. Cherished FurEver, a pet funeral home and crematory in Soddy-Daisy, runs its own crematory and posts the clearest prices, a communal cremation at $70 and a private one from $190 for a medium dog, while McKamey Animal Center offers a low-cost communal cremation bundled with euthanasia at about $100, though it no longer returns ashes. A national in-home network rounds out the options at a published $250 to $450 for the goodbye at home. Providers cover Chattanooga and Hamilton County by pickup or home visit, water cremation was not confirmed locally, and the choice comes down to price, whether you need the ashes back, and whether you want an in-home visit.

Cherished FurEver Pet Funeral Home & Crematory
Best for families who want a local crematory with published prices and keepsakes.
Typical range
$70 to $190
medium dog
Cherished FurEver is a pet funeral home and crematory just north of Chattanooga in Soddy-Daisy that runs its own crematory and posts a full weight-tiered price list: for a medium dog, a communal cremation is $70 and a private cremation starts at $190, with package upgrades that add nicer urns and keepsakes up to about $285. It offers pickup, clay paw prints and certificates.
One thing to know: It offers flame cremation rather than water cremation, and the higher packages simply add urns and memorial items rather than changing the cremation itself. It does not offer in-home euthanasia.

Typical range
from $100
medium dog
McKamey Animal Center is the local nonprofit, offering a low-cost communal cremation bundled with euthanasia to the public for about $100 for a dog. For families who do not need the ashes back and want an affordable, compassionate option, it is the budget choice, and the fee supports the shelter's work.
One thing to know: As of late 2023 it no longer returns ashes, so this is a communal-only option with nothing returned to you, and it serves a limited area around Chattanooga, Red Bank and Lakesite. It does not offer private cremation or aquamation.
