Our Recommended Providers in Norfolk
We reviewed the available options and selected these providers based on transparency, communication, and value.
Nansemond Pet Cremation
Best for families in Hampton Roads who want the clearest published pricing and ashes returned in a wood urn at no extra charge.
Typical range
$100 to $225
medium dog
Publishes an itemized price schedule: communal runs $50 base plus $1 per pound (a 50-pound dog costs $100), private cremation for 46 to 70 pounds is $225. Every private cremation includes a solid wood urn, not a plastic box. Available 24/7. Serves the full Hampton Roads area from Suffolk.
One thing to know: Facility is located in Suffolk, which may require longer pickup windows for families in the eastern cities like Virginia Beach. Communal ashes are not returned. No aquamation available.
Cherish Pet Cremations
Best for families who need 24/7 availability and want a smaller family-run crematory serving Chesapeake and the core Hampton Roads area.
Contact for pricing
Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with genuine after-hours responsiveness. Prices are weight-based (private cremation runs $150 to $350 depending on size); a phone call gives exact figures for your pet. Family-run operation based in Chesapeake. Handles pickup within 30 miles of the facility.
One thing to know: No prices published online for medium dogs specifically; families must call for a quote. Transport adds $25 each way for pickup within the 30-mile service radius. Does not offer aquamation.
EuthHome
Best for families who want in-home euthanasia and cremation arranged through a single veterinary provider, with published prices for both.
Typical range
$150 to $332
medium dog
One of the few Hampton Roads providers offering both in-home euthanasia and cremation under one roof, led by veterinarian Tom Wood, DVM. Publishes specific prices: communal for 26 to 50 pounds is $150, private for 46 to 70 pounds is $332. Families can arrange everything in one call rather than coordinating between a vet and a crematory.
One thing to know: Communal cremations are done by Agape Pet Services, which is owned by Gateway Services, a group we do not recommend, and the ashes are scattered in Sandston, Virginia, not returned to the family. Higher price point than communal-only options like Nansemond. Primarily focused on euthanasia services; cremation is offered as a companion service.
Questions Worth Answering Before You Call
Decide whether you want ashes returned, and at what price point. Nansemond’s communal starts at $100 for a 50-pound dog (it’s weight-based at $50 plus $1 per pound) and private runs $225 for a mid-size dog, urn included. EuthHome’s communal for the same size is $150; it is done by Agape Pet Services, which is owned by Gateway Services, a group we do not recommend, with ashes scattered in Sandston VA. If ashes return matters to you, private cremation is the path.
Decide whether you need in-home euthanasia alongside cremation. EuthHome is the one provider in this market offering veterinary euthanasia at home and cremation through the same service. If your pet is still living and you want to avoid a final drive to a clinic, that’s a meaningful option.
Consider geography. All three providers serve Hampton Roads broadly, but Nansemond is based in Suffolk, Cherish in Chesapeake, and EuthHome covers the full metro. Ask each for their specific pickup window to your address before committing.
