About S & S Pet Cremation

S & S Pet Cremation serves pet families and veterinary clinics in eastern Iowa with private and communal cremation for dogs, cats, and other small animals. Operating out of a Centralia-area facility and reachable at (563) 583-6891, the team emphasizes practical, accessible service: families can drop off pets at the facility by appointment or have S&S pick up their pet from any veterinarian's office at no additional charge.

S&S Pet Cremation has built a reputation among veterinary professionals in the region. Dr. Katie Merkes of GoodLife Integrative Veterinary Care endorses their work directly: "There is no one else I would trust with my client's animals than S&S Pet Cremation. The compassion and care displayed by this family is top notch." Dr. Merkes's endorsement, based on her experience with her own dog Titan, speaks to the level of care the team brings to every case.

What to Expect

To schedule a pet drop-off at their Centralia facility or to arrange a veterinary pickup, call S&S at (563) 583-6891. The team is available around the clock. If your veterinarian does not currently work with S&S Pet Cremation, you can request that they pick up your pet directly from the clinic, or you can bring your pet to the facility yourself.

Families choosing private cremation will receive their pet's remains in a complimentary urn within 3 to 5 business days. The pricing structure is transparent and weight-based, making it straightforward to understand what to expect before you call.
