The cost of cremation is based on the weight of your pet and includes the following: an ink stamped paw print, ink stamped nose print, clipping of fur/feather/scale, a basic container to hold cremains, and a Certificate of Cremation
*Ink stamped paw print, ink stamp nose print, and clipping of fur/feather/scale are not included when a pet has a necropsy. An impression paw print is also not able to be included when a pet has a necropsy.
