Pet Cremation Iowa

About Pet Cremation Iowa

Pet Cremation Iowa is a dedicated pet cremation service operating three locations throughout central Iowa — with their Des Moines facility at 3500 6th Ave serving as a primary hub for families in the metro area and surrounding communities. Affiliated with Fredregill Funeral Home & Cremation Care, the team at Pet Cremation Iowa brings a funeral profession's commitment to dignified care, respectful handling, and clear communication to pet aftercare. They understand that pets are family members, and they are committed to walking alongside grieving families every step of the way — from the first call through the return of cremains.

One of Pet Cremation Iowa's defining qualities is its commitment to price transparency. Rather than waiting until a family is in a vulnerable moment to present costs, the organization publishes all pricing openly on their website. Private cremation ranges from $199 for pocket pets up to $349 for pets in the 20–59 pound range, with ashes returned within 24–48 hours in all cases. Communal cremation is available for families who do not wish to have ashes returned, starting at $75. Beyond cremation, the team offers home removal service ($150), delivery service ($150), and small gathering arrangements ($299) for families who want a more formal send-off. Planning ahead is also encouraged — Pet Cremation Iowa offers pre-planning services so families can make arrangements before they are urgently needed.
