100 providers. Google Places records for every business returned by pet cremation searches across 30 Australian cities, each classified as a genuine pet aftercare provider or not. Distances are straight-line to the nearest provider that has a street address, because collection-only services are given a regional centre rather than a real location. Surveyed 30 August 2026. Our search started from 30 cities, so treat every count as a floor rather than a census. How we collected this.
