Pet Cremation in Centurion: Costs, Collection and What to Do First
What to do in the first hour
Nothing has to happen immediately. Wrap them in their own blanket and move them somewhere cool — a garage or a tiled floor works well. On a Highveld winter night that is comfortably fine until morning. In summer, aim for same-day collection. Take a lock of fur now if you want one; it cannot be done after collection.
What cremation costs in Centurion
Individual cremation with ashes returned runs roughly R1,100–R2,000 for a cat or small dog, R1,800–R3,000 for a medium dog, and R2,400–R5,500 for large and giant breeds. Communal cremation, with no ashes returned, is R400–R2,200 by weight. Home collection in the Centurion area typically adds R250–R600.
Who collects in this area
Several Gauteng crematoriums cover Centurion, Lyttelton, Wierdapark, Highveld, Irene and the surrounding suburbs, and a number of them collect seven days a week. Weekend and after-hours collection often carries a surcharge, so ask for the total including collection before you agree.
