Farm Animals and Livestock We Cremate
Many pet crematories stop at dogs and cats. L.E.A.S.H. was built for every animal a family loves, including the ones who live in the barn. Our livestock cremation covers animals up to about 300 lbs. For anything larger, call us first and we’ll talk it through honestly.

Chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, cared for individually. For pet birds, see exotic pet cremation.
Livestock Cremation Pickup on Your Farm or Ranch
You don’t need a trailer, a tractor or a neighbor with a strong back. One Retrieval Specialist comes to you, day or night, in a pickup truck with a slide-out bed made for gentle loading. Overnight pickup has no after-hours fee.
We’ll work around gates, dirt roads and pens, and we always park neatly and respectfully. If your animal is at a large-animal vet, we can pick up there instead.
Pickup is included within 35 miles of our Phoenix office. Many ranches sit farther out, so any distance fee is quoted upfront before we drive.

A Working Animal Is Still Family
The goat who followed you on chores, the pig who knew the sound of the feed bucket, the ewe your child raised for the fair: farm animals have names and personalities too.
Our founder, Julie, has spent about 15 years in funeral service and is a CANA-registered pet funeral director. She built L.E.A.S.H. so that no animal is turned away because of where it lives. Meet our team.
