Answers to what families ask us most about aftercare.
Private Cremation ($380) includes the return of your pet's cremains and a certificate of cremation. Gentle Transportation ($150) is the no-ashes route. It covers respectful transportation to our crematory partner and does not include the return of remains.
Aftercare is available together with a euthanasia appointment. Loved coordinates the cremation and applies the option you choose (Private Cremation or Gentle Transportation) to one invoice for your family at the prices above. Payment is upfront with an invoice, and financing is available through Affirm. If your pet passes before the veterinarian arrives, we arrange cremation transportation and coordination.
Private cremation and memorial items typically return to the Loved team within 7 to 10 days. Specialty memorial items can take longer. We keep you updated on any delay.

Yes. Families can add memorial items or change the urn through our crematory partner's memorial catalog. After your visit, you receive a postcard with a QR code to that catalog.
Home burial is a family's own choice and Loved does not provide it. When you book, we are happy to talk through general guidelines. A family that chooses home burial handles aftercare itself. Every family researches the rules for their own neighborhood, city, or county.
“I'm so thankful to Dr. Hood and Holly for their kindness and compassion throughout what has been the hardest and most heartbreaking decision of our lives. It was very important to us to have this done at home where our dog could be comfortable in his own bed in his final moments. Dr. Hood came to our home, explained the entire process in detail, gave us as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes and then peacefully sent our beloved dog across the rainbow bridge. We also elected to have them handle the aftercare services. They work with Faithful Friends Pet Cremation and we were very pleased with the private cremation return package. Everything was taken care of for us, including the return of his ashes personally by Holly. I absolutely recommend Loved and their services and especially Dr. Hood. She's wonderful.”

“I highly recommend I Everloved Vet Care if you're having to go through this heart breaking decision. I want to thank Holly for all of her kind words & Dr. Stephanie Bowes for their compassionate service. We did not want to put Abigail through the stress and pain of getting her in our vehicle, the anxiety of going to the vets office. Her quality of life was declining over a period of time and was becoming more aggressive. The last thing that we wanted was to stress her out more. Stephanie came to our house and in my heart I feel that Abi was never anxious or stressed during the whole process. It was almost as if she passed peacefully in her sleep in the comfort of her home with loved ones around her. It was the transition that she deserved. Also, thankyou Compassionate Pet Cremation for the beautiful keepsakes to remember her by.”

“After wartime/combat service I was awarded a service dog. She was dying and could hardly function. I called Everloved and a veterinarian was sent to our home to evaluate my service dog. My service dog was dying and suffering. The veterinarian confirmed that my beloved Dutchess of so many years was suffering and in pain. We made the decision to proceed.The doctor explained everything to my daughters of eight and my twin six year olds. She was an angel, a kindred spirit, a teacher with infinite wisdom like an oracle. She was caring, tactful, and respectful. Slowly she administered a pain reliever and sleep medication. For the first time in months my service dog was in a total relaxed, pain free state.She then administered the medication that allowed my loyal companion to cross the rainbow bridge into the astral plains. Everloved was thoughtful, caring, professional and gave us time to cry and mourn.After a few days of mourning, they returned with her ashes in an ornate box, samples of her coat, and a puppy paw imprint. They sent us a card and ensured our needs were met. They connected us to a counseling service for my girls to express to a counselor their feelings and the counselor helped them through the bereavement process.Thank you for you consummate professionalism, caring, and understanding. Your firm was amazing, your doctor an angel!Semper Fidelis,Mr. RamosAviator, Retired”

“Our experience with EverLoved Pet Care was a good one. Our beloved pet Sharpei mix had been in decline for a while but on a Saturday, took a turn for the worse. Our vet was closed that day, another vet would not see her because she wasn't a regular patient. She was desperately ill and we needed help. I googled pet euthanasia and EverLoved came on my phone. The vet came to the house, was thoughtful and kind, and put our cherished pet out of her misery. They took her away, arranged her cremation and delivered her ashes back to us. We are most appreciative of everything they did and would highly recommend them.”
