End of Life

Cremation

Seattle Humane offers the option of a private or non-private cremation. Private cremations are processed individually and the animal’s remains are returned to the owner in an urn. The owner may choose from one of six styles of complimentary urns.

This process takes up to two weeks for the remains to be ready for pick-up. Please call (425) 649-7561 or email intake@seattlehumane.org for more information.

PLEASE NOTE:

If you have an urgent need, please refer to your local veterinarian, these low-cost clinics, or the clinics listed under Animal Emergencies for humane euthanasia services. If you are out of options or experiencing financial hardship, please contact intake@seattlehumane.org or (425) 649-7561.

Losing an animal is difficult and the process can be very emotional. We have grief resources available to you.
