A Thoughtful Journey, Step by Step
Everything Handled. Every Detail Honored.
From the moment you call to the day your pet’s ashes come home, Passing Paws walks beside you with care, transparency, and compassion. Below is every service we offer, with honest, flat pricing — the number we quote on your first call is the number you pay.
Cremated together; ashes are not returned
Cremated alone; ashes come home to you
A gentle, water-based alternative to flame
Private (Individual) Cremation
Your pet, alone — and home to you
Your pet is cremated individually — alone, always — and the ashes that come home are solely theirs. A Cremation Identification Tag follows them through every step, so the ashes returned are exclusively your companion’s. The flat price includes home pickup, an aromatic cedar urn, a clay paw print, a fur clipping, and personal hand delivery home.
Communal Cremation
A gentle, more affordable option
For families who do not need their pet’s ashes returned, communal cremation is a caring, more affordable choice. Pets are cremated together, and ashes are not returned. Every pet is still treated with the same respect and gentleness as any other in our care.
Aquamation
A water-based alternative to flame
Aquamation is a gentle, water-based alternative to flame cremation. In place of fire, it uses a slow, natural process of warm water — many families choose it as the softest, most eco-conscious way to say goodbye. Available in private and communal options, and we’ll walk you through the difference on the phone.
End-of-Life Care
A peaceful goodbye, at home
In partnership with Saving Grace Veterinary Services — a separate licensed practice — we help arrange in-home euthanasia, so your pet can pass peacefully in the place they love most, surrounded by family, in their own bed.
A licensed veterinarian from Saving Grace comes directly to you. Following the appointment, Passing Paws coordinates all cremation and aftercare — so you never need to make two separate calls. All you have to do is be present for your pet.
