Enormous gratitude for Dr. Wong. She came in the night and was kind, gentle, and conscientious. Our beloved Dobby was always terrified of being handled by veterinarians, and Dr. Wong was so unobtrusive and thoughtful in her approach that I don't think Dobby even knew she was there.

Local, Trusted Pet Cremation by Compassionate Care

For the cremation process, we use aquamation, which utilizes water, a small amount of alkali and gentle agitation to mimic natural decomposition.
Since 2009, we’ve served thousands of pet owners each year and have consistently earned an exceptional reputation as well as a 4.8-star rating across platforms like Google, Yelp, and more.

What Our Customers Are Saying
The professional and caring team at Compassionate Care made a very sad circumstance better. They provided a peaceful end to our beloved Finn in our home. Beth P., DVM provided a sense of calm, dignity, respect, and efficiency....for which we are grateful. Joseph W. who collected Finn afterwards was equally caring and respectful.
Hopefully, you won't need their services any time soon, but when you do they're the ones to call.

We will never be able to give enough stars to this company. They accommodated us twice in moving our appointment to an earlier date and time, without any hesitation.
Greg Harris and Steve Kopkau
It’s been almost 24 hours since Jess departed, and I’ve already given your company’s name to several friends who will be facing that difficult decision in the months to come, and I will continue to sing your praises. His dog groomer and I have become good friends and I’ll be sure to give your card to her so she can pass it along to her many clients who will eventually need your services...

Pet Cremation FAQs
If your pet has passed at home, you may make an appointment to bring your pet in to us for cremation at the crematory number 503.379.1292, or arrange home pick up for an additional fee.
Privately cremated pets are cremated individually, and their cremains are returned to you. Communally cremated pets are cremated in a group, and the cremains are not returned.
We return cremains for privately cremated pets within 7-14 days after receipt at the crematory.
Please note that we hold cremains left in our care for ONE year after the date of death. Thank you so much for your understanding.
We will contact you within 7-14 days of euthanasia (or within 7-14 days after we receive your pet for those who bring their pet to us after it has passed) to let you know you may pick up their cremains. Our standard method to contact is by email; arrangements may be made for alternative contact method if needed.
