What All L.E.A.S.H. Pet Cremation Packages Include

Every family grieves differently, and every pet deserves dignified aftercare. As Arizona’s first true pet funeral home, L.E.A.S.H. Pet & Exotic Animal Mortuary provides complete, transparent pet cremation packages that eliminate clinical stress during pet loss.

Unlike traditional veterinary clinics where families must physically transport a deceased companion to an exam room, all of our pet cremation packages include 24/7 residential home pickup across the Phoenix metropolitan area, gentle cold preservation at our Central Phoenix mortuary facility, and honorable chain of custody.

Our Chain of Custody

How Do I Know I’m Getting My Pet’s Ashes Back?

Every pet in our care is tracked with its own ID tag from the moment we pick them up until their ashes are back in your hands. Here is exactly what happens, step by step.

Pet aftercare specialist in black scrubs hand-delivering a wooden pet urn to a family at their Phoenix home

  1. Step 1: Pickup

    One L.E.A.S.H. Retrieval Specialist comes to your home or veterinarian in an unmarked vehicle, usually within an hour in central Phoenix. Pets up to 200 lbs are moved gently in a specialized carrier.

  2. Step 2: ID Tag

    At intake, your pet receives a unique ID tag. That tag stays with your pet through every step, from our care to the final return.

  3. Step 3: Keepsakes

    Before cremation, we gather the keepsakes in your package, such as a fur clipping, a clay paw print or a nose print. Each one is kept with your pet’s ID so it comes back to you, and only you.

  4. Step 4: Cremation or Aquamation

    Your pet’s private cremation or aquamation is performed by our trusted partner facility. The ID tag stays with your pet throughout and returns with the ashes.

  5. Step 5: Return

    Your pet’s ashes, keepsakes, ID tag record and certificate are hand-delivered to your home, or given to you at your witness appointment with Platinum.

One pet. One ID tag. Every step.

My beautiful boy Pudding had passed away unexpectedly in the middle of September and I was at a loss on what to do afterwards. I knew I wanted him cremated, but was struggling on where to go. Thankfully, my mom helped me find L.E.A.S.H and they were so patient with me during the time that I was gathering funds for their service. When I did show up to the building (I didn't want them to drive over a hour out,) I met up with Greg and he commented on how awesome Pudding looked (I agree, he was the best snake I ever had) and seemed truly sympathetic for me on losing him. Since it's a long trip back out to Phoenix for me, they even held onto him for a couple weeks until I was able to pick him up. I'm very grateful, thank you so much.

My husband dog was hit by a car at night. My husband was distraught and I honestly didn’t know what to do. I knew we wanted to cremate our boy so I woke up early and found LEASH. They were informative (on text per my request) and kind. The person that picked up my baby was nice and sincere. I highly recommend LEASH for your animal crossing journey.

Sadly My 11.5 year old Blue bully passed in his sleep in the middle of the night. My experience with LEASH was dealt with care and compassion. They communicated and arrived timely and Gregg who arrived to take care of my boy was very kind in caring for my beloved pet.

Pet Cremation Packages: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does pet cremation cost in Phoenix?

At L.E.A.S.H., private pet cremation with ashes returned starts at $205, and communal cremation starts at $180. Every package includes 24/7 pickup from your home or veterinarian. A distance fee may apply beyond 35 miles of our Phoenix facility. Your exact price depends on your pet’s size and species and the package you choose. We offer five packages, from Bronze (communal) to Platinum (witnessed private cremation). Payment plans are available on Titanium, Gold and Silver. Call or text us 24/7 at (602) 802-4040 for your exact price.

What’s the difference between private and communal pet cremation?

In a private cremation, your pet is cremated alone, and only your pet’s ashes are returned to you. In a communal cremation, your pet is cremated respectfully alongside other pets, and ashes are not returned.

Our Platinum, Titanium, Gold and Silver packages are all private cremations. Our Bronze package is a communal cremation, for families who want a dignified farewell but don’t wish to keep their pet’s ashes.

How long until I get my pet’s ashes back?

Most families receive their pet’s ashes within 7-14 days of pickup. If you need them sooner, our Expedited Services option shortens that time.

With our Titanium, Gold and Silver packages, a member of our team hand-delivers the ashes to your home. With Platinum, the ashes are given to you at your witness appointment. We’ll give you an expected return date when we pick up your pet.

How do I know the ashes are really my pet’s?

Every pet in our care gets a unique ID tag at intake, and that tag stays with your pet through every step, from pickup to the return of the ashes. Private cremations are performed one pet at a time.

Any keepsakes in your package, such as a fur clipping or clay paw print, are gathered before cremation and kept with your pet’s ID. When the ashes come home, you also receive your pet’s ID tag record and, with Gold and above, a cremation certificate.

Can I witness my pet’s cremation in Arizona?

Yes. Our Platinum package lets your family be present for your pet’s private cremation at our affiliated crematory in Mesa, Arizona. It’s a chance to say goodbye in your own way.

We schedule the witness appointment with you in advance, and your pet’s ashes are given to you at the appointment in an upgraded wooden urn. Many families find that being there brings peace of mind and a sense of closure.

How does 24/7 in-home pet pickup work?

Call or text us any time, day or night, at (602) 802-4040. One of our Retrieval Specialists will come to your home in an unmarked vehicle, usually within one hour in central Phoenix.

Our specialist will gently move your pet using a proper carrier and answer any questions you have. Pickup is included with every package. A distance fee may apply beyond 35 miles of our Phoenix facility. You can also schedule a pickup online.

What should I do if my pet dies at home at night?

Call or text us at (602) 802-4040. We answer 24 hours a day, and we can usually be at your home within an hour in central Phoenix. You don’t need to wait until morning.

Until we arrive, gently lay your pet on a towel or blanket in the coolest room of your home, away from direct sunlight. Arizona heat matters, so keep the air conditioning on. Take whatever time you need to say goodbye. There’s no rush, and we’ll guide you through the next steps when we arrive.

Can you pick up my pet from my veterinarian?

Yes. We pick up pets from veterinary clinics and animal hospitals across the Phoenix area, 24/7. Just let your vet know you’ve chosen L.E.A.S.H., and we’ll coordinate the pickup directly with them.

You can call us before or after your appointment, and we’ll handle the rest. Veterinarians can also reach out about our partner program for clinics.

Do you cremate large dogs, exotic pets, or farm animals?

Yes. We care for dogs up to 200 pounds, which we move safely with a specialized carrier, and farm animals up to 300 pounds. We also care for exotic and small pets, including reptiles, birds, rabbits and rodents.

Large and exotic animals receive the same private care, ID tracking and 24/7 pickup as every other pet. Pricing for exotic pets and farm animals is quoted by phone, so call or text us at (602) 802-4040.

Is aquamation better than cremation?

Neither is better. They’re two respectful options. Aquamation, also called water cremation, uses water and alkaline solution instead of flame. Many families choose it because it’s a gentler, more eco-friendly process.

Aquamation uses far less energy than flame cremation and produces no direct emissions. The remains returned are typically soft and white. Both options include 24/7 pickup and ID tracking. Compare your options on our aquamation packages page.
