Private Pet Cremation

What Private Pet Cremation Means At Gentle Tide

With private pet cremation, your pet is the only pet in the chamber. Families who choose this option want the assurance that the ashes they receive belong only to their pet, and they want a calm, clear explanation of how that promise is honored.

Gentle Tide Aquamation provides private cremation for dogs, cats and other companion animals across Suffolk County NY, Nassau County NY and Queens NY. We use a written intake process and visible tags so you know your pet is identified correctly at every step.

How Private Cremation Works

• Your pet is logged on arrival and given a unique identification tag.
• Only your pet is placed in the cremation chamber during the private cycle.
• Once the cycle is complete, your pet's ashes are processed and placed in a simple urn or keepsake.
• We confirm your requested urn, engraving and any keepsakes before return.
• A summary of the service is provided at pickup or at the time ashes are returned.

If you live in Suffolk County NY, Nassau County NY or Queens NY, we can often arrange home or veterinary clinic pickup and return your pet's ashes the next day in many cases. We will go over timing with you on the phone so you know what to expect.

Is Private Cremation Right For My Family

Private cremation is often chosen by families who want to keep their pet's ashes at home, scatter them in a favorite place or divide them among family members. It may feel right if you want a single focal point for remembrance, like a mantle, shelf or small memorial corner.

If you are unsure whether private or communal cremation is right for you, we can explain both options in simple terms, share typical costs and give you space to decide.
