From Loving Goodbyes To Lasting Memories

Cremation Services

Our pet cremation services are designed to provide families with peace of mind and their pets with the care they deserve. A Best Friends associate will pick up your companion from your veterinary clinic (or your home, if Tribute Cremation is selected) in the Albuquerque or Rio Rancho area and transfer them into our care. Or if you prefer, you may schedule a time to bring your pet into our facility during business hours. If your companion is expected to pass in the next six months, you may also plan a pet cremation in advance. From personalized urns to customized keepsakes, each package includes a beautiful reminder of your friendship.

Euthanasia and after-hours pickup services are available through trusted partners. Choose at-home euthanasia for a peaceful farewell and respectful transport. Visit Euthanasia & After-Hours Pickup for more information.
