Our Story

Inspired by Montana

After losing Montana, our beloved family dog of sixteen years, we experienced firsthand how overwhelming pet loss and aftercare can be. Principles Pet Cremations was created to help other families move through the process with compassion, clarity and time to grieve.

We dedicate this work to Montana. Thank you for all the memories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Set aside time for your family to say goodbye. This may include FaceTime or video calls with immediate family members. Then contact Principles Pet Cremations to schedule a time to finalize your pet’s transition arrangements.
Our team will work closely with you to schedule pickup within two to four hours so your family has time to grieve. Expedited service is available for an additional fee.

The expected turnaround time is five to seven days.
Your pet will receive a unique identification number that follows them throughout the transition process. The identification number will also appear on your pet’s cremation certificate.
