Frequently Asked Questions
From the moment your pet is in our care until the time you pick up the ashes they are labeled and have continuous cremation paperwork kept with them.

Ashes / Cremated Remains are tiny cremated bone fragments. The amount that is returned varies on the bone density and strength of your pet. For a cat, you would typically get a volume of a couple of cups of ashes back, for a large dog, possibly the size of a rectangular Kleenex box.
We allow pet owners to stand from a safe distance outside the room that performs cremations. From there, you can watch your pet go into the crematory, fully alone. With your own eyes, you can verify it’s just your pet.

We have been in business since 2004 and have a background in human funeral service. We apply the same ethics and dignity to your pet at their time of death. We are located in Edina, about a mile to the west of highway 100. We have daily hours – including weekends to assist you and your pet.
Through licensed veterinarians, we are also able to help arrange for your pet to be euthanized either at your home or in our Family Room at our facility. We also have the equipment and vehicles to offer transportation from your home or clinic for your pet.
How your pet will be handled, who will handle them, and who will cremate them makes a big difference. Our company was formed originally when our own dog died and we realized what her fate would be had we chosen to leave her at the clinic. For us, she was a family member and we didn’t want her bagged up and put in a freezer with so many other animals.
