Pet Cremation Scottsdale Pickup: How Long Does It Take?
Old Town Scottsdale is about 13 miles east of our Phoenix office, so in south and central Scottsdale we usually arrive within about an hour. North Scottsdale neighborhoods like DC Ranch, Troon North and Pinnacle Peak are 25 to 30 miles away, so the drive takes longer. Our dispatcher gives you an honest arrival window on the call.
- Call or text (602) 802-4040. One of our own dispatchers answers.
- Approve your package and payment by email. Cash is fine too.
- Your Retrieval Specialist texts an ETA, arrives in black scrubs and gently brings your pet into our care.
Pickup is included in every package within 35 miles of our office at 19th Avenue and Campbell. A few far northeast addresses, such as Rio Verde, may be farther than that. If so, the dispatcher tells you the distance fee before you decide.
Pet Cremation Scottsdale Pickup from Gated Communities, Condos and Resorts
Many Scottsdale homes sit behind a guard gate, up an elevator or inside a resort. Here’s how we handle each one quietly, so you don’t have to manage the details.
Guard-gated communities
Give the dispatcher your gate code, or call the guard station and add L.E.A.S.H. to your guest list. Our truck has no lettering and parks backed in, neatly, so neighbors aren’t disturbed.
Condos, apartments and high-rises
Let the concierge or front desk know we’re coming. Your pet is carried out in a soft fabric pet carrier, so the walk through a lobby or elevator stays private.
Resorts, hotels and vacation rentals
If your pet passes while you’re visiting Scottsdale, call us first. We coordinate with the front desk or rental manager and pick up from your room or casita.
Keeping your pet cool
Scottsdale heat speeds up natural changes. Wrap your pet in a towel or blanket and keep them in the coolest room, out of the sun, until we arrive.
When Your Pet Passes at a Scottsdale Vet or Emergency Hospital
Scottsdale has many general practices and 24-hour emergency animal hospitals. If your pet passes or is euthanized at one of them, you don’t have to drive your pet anywhere. Here’s what to do.
- Tell the staff you’ve chosen L.E.A.S.H. Pet & Exotic Animal Mortuary for aftercare.
- Take the time you need to say goodbye, and keep the collar or tag if you’d like.
- Call or text (602) 802-4040 with the clinic’s name and your pet’s name and approximate weight.
- Choose your package and approve it by email. You can go home while we take it from there.
- We pick up from the clinic directly. A paper ID tag stays with your pet through every step.
- Your pet’s urn and keepsakes are hand-delivered to your door, or you collect them with Platinum.
Veterinarians and clinic staff can call or text the same number any hour to arrange a transfer.

Pet Aquamation in Scottsdale: A Water-Based Choice
Aquamation, also called alkaline hydrolysis, uses warm water and an alkaline solution instead of flame, and it uses less energy than flame cremation. Many Scottsdale families choose it because it feels gentler. Your pet’s ashes come home in a memorial urn, just like with private cremation.
How long it takes
Private aquamation usually takes 14 to 21 days. Private cremation usually takes 7 to 14 days. Ask about Expedited Services if you need your pet home sooner.

How much does pet cremation cost in Scottsdale?

The exact price depends on your pet’s size and the package you choose, so call (602) 802-4040 for a quote. Private payment plans are available on most packages except Platinum, Bronze and Quartz.
Can you pick up my pet from a guard-gated community in Scottsdale?
Yes. Give the dispatcher your gate code, or add L.E.A.S.H. to your guest list at the guard station. One Retrieval Specialist arrives in black scrubs in a truck with no lettering and parks neatly, so your neighbors aren’t disturbed.
Can you pick up my pet from a condo or high-rise?
Yes. Let your concierge or front desk know we’re coming. Your pet is carried out in a soft fabric pet carrier, so the walk through the lobby or elevator stays private.
My pet passed while we were visiting Scottsdale. Can you help?
Yes. Call or text (602) 802-4040 from your hotel, resort or vacation rental. We coordinate with the front desk or rental manager and pick up from your room. Tell the dispatcher your travel dates so we can talk through the timing of your pet’s return with you.
What is the difference between private and communal pet cremation?
With private cremation, your pet is cremated alone and only your pet’s ashes come home to you. With communal cremation, several pets are cremated together, so no ashes are returned. Silver, Gold, Titanium and Platinum are private, and Platinum lets you witness the cremation. Bronze is communal.
Can I choose pet aquamation instead of cremation in Scottsdale?
Yes. Aquamation, also called alkaline hydrolysis, is a gentle, water-based alternative to flame cremation. Sapphire and Pearl are private aquamation packages, and Quartz is communal aquamation.
How long until I get my pet’s ashes back?
Private cremation usually takes 7 to 14 days and private aquamation usually takes 14 to 21 days. If you need them sooner, ask about our Expedited Services option. Our team contacts you when your pet is ready and arranges the hand delivery with you.
Can I bury my pet in my backyard in Scottsdale?
It depends on where you live. Rules differ by city, county and HOA, so check with the City of Scottsdale and your HOA first. Hard, rocky desert ground also makes a deep enough grave difficult to dig, and wildlife can disturb shallow graves. Many families choose cremation or aquamation instead so they can keep the ashes or scatter them somewhere meaningful.
Can I bring my pet to your facility myself from Scottsdale?
Yes. Drop-off is available 24 hours a day by appointment at 1912 West Campbell Ave Suite B, Phoenix, AZ 85015. Please call or text ahead so a Retrieval Specialist can meet you.
