Cremation
Seattle Humane offers the option of a private or non-private cremation. Private cremations are processed individually and the animal’s remains are returned to the owner in an urn. The owner may choose from one of six styles of complimentary urns.
This process takes up to two weeks for the remains to be ready for pick-up. Please call (425) 649-7566 or email pethelp@seattlehumane.org for more information.

Humane Euthanasia
Seattle Humane may be able to provide end-of-life care through medical euthanasia for pets who qualify. Please contact vets@seattlehumane.org for information on how to access this service.
