Standard pricing across greater Brisbane, with Ipswich, Logan and Redlands on daily runs at the same rates. Summer never changes the price, only how fast we move.

206 advertised prices. Every price published on the website of an Australian pet cremation provider in our survey, read from the provider's own pages. Surveyed 30 August 2026. A median is only shown where at least five providers publish a price for that weight. How we collected this.
Most providers will not tell you a price
Of the 100 Australian pet cremation providers we surveyed, only 36 publish what the cremation costs. The other 64 ask you to ring and explain what has happened before they will say.
9 of them will sell you an urn online, with the price on the product page, while still making you call to learn the price of the thing you came for. That is the part of this industry we think is worth changing, and it is why the numbers above are on this page at all.
In QLD, 14 providers publish prices between $165 and $3,670. That spread is not a quality signal. It is mostly weight bands and what each quote includes, which is why the question below matters more than the headline number.
What we charge in Brisbane
Weight moves the price: cats and small dogs sit at the from-price, an 80kg dog sits at the top of the range. Our $480 starts above the national median of $432, and the difference is what sits inside it, because collection, the urn, the paw print and hand delivery are all included rather than added at checkout. Call with species and rough weight for the exact Brisbane figure in one minute. Optional keepsakes are listed with real prices at what's included.
How to compare Brisbane quotes fairly
Three questions expose the difference between quotes faster than any price list: Is collection included? Is the urn included? And is your pet alone in the chamber, with something physical that proves it? A quote can be $100 cheaper and answer no to all three.
Our answers are documented, not asserted: the full tracking process is at how ashes are tracked and returned, and the honest trade-offs between the two services are at private vs communal.
Comparing pet cremation in Brisbane
We read the recent public Google reviews of every pet cremation provider around Brisbane (493 reviews on Google Maps across those below) and counted what locals actually praise and complain about. The columns are the 3 things Brisbane reviewers mention most. Pet Farewell is our own service, listed first: whatever factor matters most to you, it is the factor we select and hold our local partner to, assessed against a checklist set by our consulting veterinarian.

7. SEQ Pet Cremations Greenbank | ★ 5.0 (6) | Praised (2) | Praised (1) | Not mentioned in sampled reviews |
Counts come from the text of recent public Google reviews (sampled newest-first, refreshed periodically); a provider not mentioned on a factor simply was not discussed, which is not a criticism. Competitors are ordered by Google rating, ties by review count. Pet Farewell is our own service and is not rated against them; its cells state our written commitments, and we invite you to hold us to every one of them.
Pricing in Brisbane, answered.
What does pet cremation cost in Brisbane?
Across 206 prices advertised by Australian providers, the median for individual cremation is $432 and the range runs $150 to $3,670. Weight is what moves it. Ours in Brisbane are $280 communal and $480 individual, and collection, the urn or scatter tube, the certificate and hand delivery are all inside those numbers.
How many providers are there near Brisbane?
We counted 17 pet cremation facilities within 100km of Brisbane, 4 of them within 25km, and the closest is 11km from the city centre. 7 of them advertise after-hours collection, which is the number that matters if your pet dies overnight.
Why do quotes vary so much between providers?
Inclusions. Some quotes exclude collection, the urn or the return delivery and add them later. Compare the all-in figure and ask what identifies your pet through the process; a low headline price with a shared chamber is not the same service.
Do you charge more for after-hours collection?
Sometimes, depending on the hour and suburb. Whatever it is, we quote it on the phone before anything is booked, so the invoice never surprises you.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, ask when you call. No credit check and no interest; cost should not add stress to an already hard week.
Does pet insurance help with any of this?
Usually not the cremation itself, though some policies contribute to euthanasia costs and a few pay a small aftercare benefit. Our insurance guide covers what to look for in your PDS, and our invoice itemises everything for claims.
