Cremation
At Fetching Halos, every pet entrusted to our care is treated with the same respect and compassion we would give our own special companions. We understand that pets are family, and our services are designed to provide families with comfort and peace of mind during a difficult time.
Private Cremation
Private cremation ensures that your pet is cremated individually and that the cremated remains returned to you belong solely to your cherished pet.
Each pet is carefully identified and respectfully tracked throughout the entire process to maintain accuracy and integrity. After the cremation is complete, the cremated remains are gently processed and returned to the family in a wooden urn or the memorial keepsake you have selected, along with an ink paw print and certification of cremation.
Prices for Private Cremations are based off the pets weight:
0-30 lbs
$135
31-60 lbs

61-90 lbs

Communal Cremation
Communal cremation is a respectful option for families who do not wish to have cremated remains returned.
In this process, pets are cremated together and the ashes are not returned to individual families. Families may choose this option when they simply want to ensure their companion is cared for with kindness and respect.
Communal Cremations are $95
Witness Cremation
For families who wish to be present we offer the option to witness the cremation.
Our facility includes a private viewing room with a large window that allows families to observe the process in a peaceful and respectful setting. Many families find comfort in being there for their pet’s final moments of care. Our staff will guide you through the process with patience and compassion so you feel supported every step of the way. Please call 417.876.7752 for scheduling and pricing.
Why Consider Cremation
Choosing how to care for your pet after they pass is a deeply personal decision. Many families choose cremation because it offers peace of mind during a difficult time.
Keeping Your Pet Close
Cremation allows families to keep their pet with them. Life changes such as moving can happen unexpectedly, and cremation ensures your beloved companion can always remain close, wherever live takes you.
Meaningful Memorial Options
Cremation offers many ways to honor your pet’s life. Families may choose from a variety of memorial options including urns, keepsakes, jewelry, paw print and nose impressions and many other personalized tributes.
Burial Restrictions
Many families are surprised to learn that burial regulations can apply even on private property. Local rules are often designed to protect water sources such as wells and groundwater.
Environmental Considerations
Certain medications and treatments- including chemotherapy drugs or euthanasia medications may present environmental concerns when a pet is buried. Cremation can help prevent unintended impacts to wildlife and the surrounding environment.
Physical Challenges
Burial can also be physically difficult. Factors such as rocky soil or frozen ground may make burial challenging or even impossible in some situations.
Peace of Mind
For many families, cremation provides reassurance that their pet is being cared for respectfully while giving them the opportunity to honor the life they shared.
