How it works
Four unhurried steps
You tell us where you are
Your pet's name, the service you think you want, and your ZIP code. It takes a minute.
We match licensed providers
We look for providers who cover your ZIP and whose license we have checked. Nobody unvetted is passed your details.
They call you
The provider quotes their own price and arranges collection with you directly. PetQuil takes no payment and holds nothing.
You keep the memorial
Whatever you decide, their page here is yours — free, ad-free and permanent.
Private cremation
Your pet is cremated on their own and their ashes come back to you. People choose this when they want to keep them close, scatter them somewhere they loved, or rest them in a keepsake.
Cost varies by provider, region and your pet’s weight. They quote you directly.
Communal cremation
Your pet is cremated alongside other companions and scattered by the provider. Ashes are not returned. It is the gentler cost, and for many families it is the right choice.

The directory
Providers we’ve checked
A provider is only listed here once someone has confirmed their state license. If yours isn’t listed, it means we haven’t checked them — not that they’re unfit.
We’re still building this list.
No provider has been vetted and listed yet, so there is nobody here to show you. Rather than invent one, we’d rather tell you plainly: for now, your vet can refer you to a licensed crematory locally, and they will know the good ones.
The two services, explained
What to expect, from the first call to carrying them home
The two services differ in one meaningful way — whether your companion is cremated alone. Choose a path below to see what usually happens. The provider you speak to sets their own prices and timings.
In a private cremation your companion is placed in the chamber alone. Their ashes are entirely their own, and the provider returns them to you.

You send the request
You tell us about your companion and where you are. We pass that to licensed providers who cover your ZIP.
A provider calls you
They talk through what you'd like, quote you their price, and arrange collection from your home or your vet. You are dealing with them from this point, not with us.
Collection
The provider collects your companion. Most give them an identifier that stays with them throughout — ask, so you know their process.
Cremated alone
Your pet is cremated privately, on their own. Their ashes are theirs and no one else's.
Gathered with care
Their ashes are gathered into a scatter tube, or an urn you have chosen with the provider.
Carried home
The provider returns your companion to you, usually with a certificate of cremation. They will tell you how long that takes.
