Our Services
Harthaven Pet Cremation Services is the only family owned and operated pet cremation facility in Anchorage. All pet cremations are performed at our local facility, and we provide for the total care of your beloved pet. To guarantee your pet’s identity we do not outsource our services.
We offer a full range of pet memorial services and products.
This gives you the option to choose which is best for you and your pet.
Home Euthanasia
Home Euthanasia is a service many veterinary clinics offer. In the case your clinic does not offer this service, or you don’t currently have a vet, we are happy to recommend local compassionate veterinarians who offer the comfort, privacy and peace of your home to you, your family and pet during this difficult time. After receiving your call we will direct you to available veterinarians or veterinary hospitals which provide this service.
Home Pick Up Service
We offer an affordable home pick up service in the event your pet dies at home. Our stretcher equipped vehicle will come to your home and respectfully pick up your pet and transport to our facility in a prompt and timely manner.
Airport Pick Up Service
Since out founding in 1987, we have specialized in assisting rural Alaskans. With prior arrangement, Harthaven will promptly pick up your pet at the airport via any airline you choose—at no charge.
Cremation
Harthaven offers four types of cremations:
- Private Cremation – Where your pet is cremated individually and the separate cremated remains are returned to you.
- Semi-Private Cremation – In this process, other pet’s bodies are cremated at the same time, however they are kept completely separate from one another with firebrick space partitions
- Communal Cremation – Where your pet is cremated together with other pets, and the communal cremated remains are not returned to you.
- Communal Cremation with small portion of ashes returned – Harthaven is pleased to offer, a small portion of the communal cremains in which their pet was cremated.
Whichever type of cremation you choose, all pets we receive are treated with utmost respect while in our care.
