Pet Cremation Center of Southern Utah
Details updated August 2026
These three words are the most confusing part of pet cremation, and providers do not all use them the same way. Confirm which one you are buying before you agree to it.
Communal (also called group)
Several pets are cremated together and the ashes are not separated afterwards. You do not get ashes back. This is normally the lowest-cost option.
Private
Your pet is the only animal in the chamber. Ashes are returned to you. This is normally the highest-cost option.
Individual (also called partitioned or segregated)
More than one pet is in the chamber at the same time, kept apart by trays or dividers. Ashes are returned, but because the animals share the chamber a small amount of mixing is possible. This is the term that varies most between providers — some use “individual” to mean exactly what others mean by private.
The question that settles it: how many animals are in the chamber at the same time as my pet? Ask Pet Cremation Center of Southern Utah that directly rather than relying on the name of the package.
Pet cremation is usually priced in weight bands rather than as a single flat fee. Providers set a few bands — commonly a small, a medium and a large — and the price steps up at each one. A cat and a large dog will not cost the same.
Two other things move the figure:
- Private normally costs more than individual, which normally costs more than communal.
- Urn, engraving, paw print, fur clipping and collection from a veterinary practice are often separate line items rather than part of the base price.
We do not hold weight bands or package prices for Pet Cremation Center of Southern Utah. Ask for the band that matches your pet’s weight and for the total including every add-on, so the figure you are quoted is the figure you pay.
With communal cremation, ashes are not returned at all. With private or individual cremation, return times across the industry generally run from a few days to around two weeks, depending on the provider’s schedule and on whether your pet is being collected from a veterinary practice first.
Ask Pet Cremation Center of Southern Utah for a specific date, how you will be told the ashes are ready, and whether they come back to you directly, go to your vet for collection, or are shipped.
Many pet crematories collect directly from vets, and if your pet died at a practice the vet will often arrange it for you. That is convenient, but it means the choice of crematory can be made without you.
- If your vet is arranging it, ask which crematory they use — it may not be this one.
- Ask whether collection is included in the price or charged separately.
- Ask whether you can bring your pet in yourself, if you would rather.
Ink paw prints, clay paw impressions, fur clippings, engraved urns and memorial jewelry are commonly offered. Some providers include one keepsake in the base price and charge for the rest; others charge for all of them.
If you want a paw print or a fur clipping, say so before the cremation. They cannot be taken afterwards.
Ask Pet Cremation Center of Southern Utah which keepsakes are included and which are extra, and get the answer in writing.
The FTC Funeral Rule is the regulation that gives families price protections when they arrange a funeral. It does not apply to pets. The Rule (16 CFR Part 453) defines cremation as a heating process that incinerates human remains, and defines funeral services as the care and preparation of deceased human bodies. The words “pet” and “animal” do not appear in it.
For your pet, that means:
- There is no legal right to a General Price List — the itemized price sheet a funeral home has to hand you for human services.
- There is no requirement to give you itemized prices over the phone.
- There is no requirement to let you supply your own urn or container without a fee.
That does not mean a provider is behaving badly — plenty of pet crematories publish clear prices and hand over written quotes without being asked. It means the protections you may be expecting are not automatic here, so ask for them directly.
- How many animals are in the chamber at the same time as my pet?
- Will I get my pet’s ashes back, and how do you identify my pet through the process?
- What is the total price for my pet’s weight, including urn, keepsakes and collection?
- What date will the ashes be ready, and how will you let me know?
- Is the cremation done at your own facility, or sent to another company?
- Can I witness the cremation, or visit the facility?
- Can I have all of that in writing before I agree?
2 years ago I took my beloved cat to be laid to rest. I was able to post an obituary on their website. It is nice to be able to go back and see his picture and read what I wrote. Great place with kind people.
In January of this year we had had the misfortune of having to reach out to the Pet Cremation Center of Southern Utah, What if found was a kind and caring business. Everyone was great when we called and when Hailey and a young man came to our house to pick up Kaya. They showed such compassion that it helped ease or suffering in knowing she was in good hands. This compassion continued the next day when we when to pick her up to bring her home. Hailey and the other staff were great and would use them again and I will tell everyone to given a call . Thank you PCCSC for what you do. (Update:) We didn't know that we would be calling upon PCCSU for services again so soon. We had to say goodbye to our baby girl "Lilly". Hailey and crew where there, once again with care and compassion ready to help us with our final wishes. Thank you Hailey for the paw print that touch us deeply. Again five stars to Pet Cremation Center of Southern Utah. "Family making you feel like family".
We have used Pet Cremation of Southern Utah on 2 separate occasions, once in October of 2022 and again in July of 2024. Our experience in 2022 was nothing short of amazing while working with Graham who was extremely kind and attentive. We received an ink paw print, a clay paw print, a certificate for a tree planting and of course the remains. In 2024 our experience was below part at best. While dropping off our beloved pet of the last 11 years I made it VERY CLEAR that we needed another ink paw print just like we recieved in 2022, and I even made sure the representative (I believe his name was Trent) checking us in paperwork wise wrote it down (he wrote it down right above the clay pay print request). We picked up the remains yesterday (7/10/2024) and our clay paw print today (7/11/2024). We quickly realized the ink paw print was not included and when we inquired about it we were told "Sorry, HE FORGOT!". WHAT!? HE FORGOT!? We had planned to use both ink paw prints from both of our pet

Pet Cremation Center of Southern Utah has not published pet cremation prices with us.
Expect the quote to depend on your pet’s weight band, on whether you choose communal, individual or private cremation, and on any urn, keepsakes or collection from your vet.
Ask for the total in writing. Pets are not covered by the FTC Funeral Rule, so an itemized price list is not something you are entitled to by law.
