Frequently Asked Questions about Dead Pet Removal in Chicago

How much does dead pet removal and cremation cost in Chicago?
The cost of dead pet removal and cremation varies based on the pet’s size, the type of cremation chosen (private vs. communal), and additional keepsakes. We provide transparent pricing and offer free, no-obligation quotes so you know the full cost upfront.
When your pet dies at home, it is important to handle their body with care. Wrap the pet in a soft blanket or towel and place them in a cool location, away from direct sunlight. Then, contact us as soon as possible, and we will guide you through the next steps and arrange for a prompt, discreet removal.
No, it is generally illegal to bury a pet in your yard within Chicago city limits.
