Cat cremation

[LOL7]

Hello,
My cat passed away last Saturday, and the vet has sent him to be cremated (by himself).
We have just discovered our insurance does not cover this, so was hoping someone could tell me the average cost of having a cat cremated?
Thank you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat.

This was a few years ago but when my cat was PTS and cremated I think it cost around £140 for everything. We also had a memorial heart so I can't remember if it included that as well.

Sorry for your loss , also sorry to say that it will be probably be more expensive because you have gone through the vet . When I had my very large cat sized rabbit pts a few years back the vet quoted me £160 for cremation and return of ashes , I took the rabbit home and drove him to our local pet crematorium , collected him a couple of days later and it cost £80 including a very nice wooden box .

Mine cost around £120, I collected her ashes a few days later from the vet in a basic (but nice) cardboard box.
A kind lady from the crematorium phoned to let me know which day the cremation would be happening, which was nice to know and the vet phoned to let me know when her ashes were back.

So sorry you’ve lost your cat. I’m afraid I do the same as Floral and take my pets directly to the crem (not really for the cost, but other reasons that are important to me) but would have guessed around the £150
mark which seems to fit in with PPs experience.

Sadly, the rescue cat with chronic flu I adopted a few months ago succumbed to wet FIP. I collected his ashes yesterday from the vets. It was £117 for the cremation and wooden box.

Sorry to hear about your pusscat.

Oh and I’m very sorry your cat passed away

Thank you very much for replies. He is our first pet and was hit by a car and taken to the vets, where he died a few hours later and they called to ask if we wanted to collect him to bury him or for him to be cremated- didn't realise taking him straight to a crematorium was an option unfortunately. I thought it would be around the £100-150 mark, we also have to pay the first £99 of the vet bill for whatever they did to try to save him- so far we only know he was given an X-ray. So much stress in with the grief, but our fault for not realising the insurance wouldn't cover it.

Thanks for this thread. I googled pet cremation and found a local pet crematorium. Run similar to a human funeral director. I know that will be the right thing for my pair when the time comes. £95 for a cremation and return of ashes.
