Personalised Support for Your Pet’s Final Journey
Aftercare of your pet following euthanasia is a very personal decision and something you may wish to discuss with your family. I am happy to discuss the aftercare options available here on the Sunshine Coast and will support whatever option feels right for you and your family.
Private Individual Cremation
We are fortunate to have a choice of very professional, private local pet cremation companies on the Sunshine Coast offering various options for pet cremation.
You are free to choose which pet cremation company you prefer, or I can help you organise a pet cremation service to collect your pet at the end of our Gentle Farewell visit.
These local Sunshine Coast pet cremation companies listed below care for your pet with the utmost respect, perform an individual, private cremation, and return your pet’s ashes to you in your choice of urn, timber box, or bamboo scatter pouch. They can also provide a variety of keepsakes.
Please note that these Sunshine Coast pet cremation services are separate individual businesses, and you will need to directly pay them for the cost of their service and the package you select. For pricing, please see their individual websites.
As a Veterinary Surgeon, I have had firsthand experience dealing with multiple private, franchise, and corporate pet cremation companies over the last 27 years. I do not charge for coordinating the individual pet cremation, nor do I receive any incentives for recommending any service (despite financial incentives being offered by corporate pet cremation companies to all vets).
My recommendations is purely based on my professional and personal opinion knowing their respective practices. I want your pet to be treated with the utmost respect and dignity and you to be 100% confident it your pets ashes that come home to you.

Private Burial at Home
Burying a beloved pet at home is a beautiful option if you own your property. You may choose a site that has special meaning and can memorialize and protect the site by planting a special tree or plant.
The Gentle Farewell can provide a biodegradable covering for your pet with prior arrangement at no charge. Alternatively, a sheet works very well as a stretcher and allows easy and gentle transport while composting well. A pillowcase works very well for cats.
Sunshine Coast Council allows the burial of pets that have passed on private property. Their requirements are as follows:
- Must be buried so the pet is under a minimum of 30cm of compacted soil.
- Must not cause a nuisance to others (i.e., odour, attract vermin, flies).
- Must be at least 100m from any waterways.
- Must not be buried in non-biodegradable coverings/plastic bags.
Noosa Council also allows the burial of your pet on your private property.
Individual Cremation with no ashes returned
Your pet will be individually cremated and your pet ashes will be spread on the private property in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. No ashes will be returned.
If you choose this service I will transport your pet to the local cremation provider on your behalf. An additional fee will be charged to cover transport and cremation cost.
