Pet Cremation in Hobart
You don't have to drive your pet anywhere. We collect across Hobart, cremate individually, and bring the ashes home. Usually within 5 working days.
Pet cremation service in Hobart
Hobart pets know kunanyi in every season. Tasmania is serviced by arrangement - call and we will confirm timing for your suburb.
Our service covers Hobart, Glenorchy, Kingston, Clarence, New Norfolk and surrounds. We work with most vets across the area and can usually arrange collection within 24 hours.
Every pet receives an individual cremation. We never combine pets. Your companion is ID-tagged at collection, treated with the same respect through every step, and the ashes are tracked and returned to you personally.

How we guarantee it's really private →We collect from clinics across Hobart on regular runs. Ask your vet to hold your pet for Pet Farewell - or call us and we'll arrange it with them directly. Ashes can be returned to your home or the clinic.
Vet coordination in detail →"They answered at 11pm, collected Banjo the next morning, and his ashes were home by Friday. The person who came treated him like their own."

Comparing pet cremation in Hobart
We read the recent public Google reviews of every pet cremation provider around Hobart (203 reviews on Google Maps across those below) and counted what locals actually praise and complain about. The columns are the 3 things Hobart 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 the veterinary checklist of Dr Denia Gilheany BVSc, MANZCVS.

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.
