What Tempe Pet Parents Say About L.E.A.S.H.
Tempe Pet Cremation FAQs
Do you offer 24/7 pet pickup in Tempe?
Yes. For pet cremation in Tempe, L.E.A.S.H. answers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call or text (602) 802-4040 and a dispatcher will arrange pickup from your Tempe home, apartment or vet clinic. Tempe is close to our Phoenix office, so pickup is usually within about an hour.
Can you pick up my pet from a vet clinic in Tempe?
Yes. If your pet passes or is euthanized at a Tempe clinic, such as VCA University Animal Hospital or Tempe Veterinary Hospital, tell the staff you have chosen L.E.A.S.H., then call or text (602) 802-4040. We coordinate the pickup with the clinic directly, so you don’t have to transport your pet yourself.
Can I bury my pet in my backyard in Tempe?
It depends on where you live. Rules differ by city, county, HOA and landlord, so check with the City of Tempe, your HOA or your lease first. Arizona’s hard, rocky ground also makes a deep enough grave difficult to dig, and wildlife can disturb shallow graves. Many Tempe families choose cremation or aquamation instead so they can keep the ashes or scatter them somewhere meaningful.
What should I do while I wait for pickup?
Gently wrap your pet in a blanket or towel and place them on a flat surface in the coolest room of your home, away from direct sun. Arizona heat matters, so keep the room cool. Take the time you need to say goodbye.
Can I bring my pet to your facility myself from Tempe?
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.
Should I choose pet aquamation or pet cremation in Tempe?
Both are respectful, private options, and L.E.A.S.H. offers both. Private cremation starts at $205 and usually takes 7 to 14 days. Private aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis) starts at $305, uses a gentle water-based process, typically returns up to 20% more ashes and usually takes 14 to 21 days. Our team can help you compare them when you call.
Will your vehicle draw attention when you arrive?
No. One Retrieval Specialist arrives in black scrubs in an unmarked pickup truck and handles everything quietly and respectfully, whether you live in a house, condo or apartment complex.
Which packages include keepsakes?
Our Platinum, Titanium and Gold cremation packages include keepsakes and a Cremation Certificate. Our Sapphire aquamation package includes keepsakes and an Aquamation Certificate. Keepsakes include a white clay paw print and a fur clipping keepsake. Upgraded urns, glass art and jewelry are also available.
Can you pick up my pet from an apartment near ASU?
Yes. We pick up from apartments, condos, rentals and student housing throughout Tempe. One Retrieval Specialist comes to your door with a soft carrier, so you never have to move your pet yourself. Private payment plans are available on most packages.
