CREMATION SERVICES INFORMATION
We, at the Hill Pet Crematory, understand the emotions that come with the loss of a pet.
Please do not hesitate to call us anytime with questions or concerns.
We are here to help you find peace and a sense of closure while providing genuine care for you and your pet.
Business Hours: In order to keep prices as low as possible, our very small, family owned business has business hours that vary. In general, we do our best to offer pickups between 8:00 and 3:00 daily. However, if we have an out-of-town call, we may not be able to complete your pickup until the next day--almost always within 24 hours. We offer after hour, weekend, and holiday pickups for an addition charge. Please contact us at 573-579-0706 anytime. If we are unavailable, please leave a message. We will return your call and provide you the assistance you need as quickly as we can.

Private Cremation: A Private Cremation means that you will receive your pet, and only your pet's ashes back. Upon completion, your pet's ashes will be returned to you in a white, non-decorative box. On average, you will have your pet's ashes within 7 days. While some choose to scatter or bury their pet's ashes, we find that most prefer to purchase an urn to display in their home or office. If you decide to purchase an urn, we would be happy to place the ashes in it for you. The cost of private cremation includes local pickup at your home during normal business hours. Weekend, evening, and holiday pickups are subject to an additional fee. If you wish to bring us your pet, we simply ask that you call in advance to make sure we are in the office and not out completing a home pickup for another client. We welcome personal visits and would be happy to schedule one for you.
Viewing Window: Occasionally we have a client ask if they may be present during their pet's cremation. We do offer a small sitting area and viewing window into the crematory room. However, due to the nature of our operation, these requests are much more difficult to accommodate and an appointment MUST be made in advance. Many clients simply choose to be present when their pet is being inserted into the crematorium. We then return the ashes the following day. We do not charge extra for this type of appointment. For those who wish to be present during their pet's entire cremation, we charge an additional $60.00. If you are considering this service, please give us a call and we will discuss additional details.
Mass Cremation: A Mass Cremation means that your pet will be placed in the cremation chamber with other pets. With a mass cremation, you do not receive any ashes back. According to some national statistics, over 75% of deceased pets are cremated and 30% of those cremations are mass. Mass cremation is often chosen because it is economical, dignified, and because many cities have statutes prohibiting the home burial of a pet. The cost of a mass cremation includes local pickup at your home or veterinarian's office during normal business hours. Evening, weekend, and holiday pickups are subject to an additional fee. Like private cremation, the cost for a mass cremation is based on the weight of the pet.
Mass Cremation Prices: 0-50 pounds $30.00 51-100 pounds $40.00 101-300 pounds $50.00
Notification: Upon death of your pet, you, a friend, or veterinarian may contact us for pickup. We simply need your contact information and type of cremation to be completed (private or mass). If applicable, we will contact you prior to completion to discuss payment, memorial options, and delivery of ashes.
Payment: Payment in full must be received before the return of your pet's ashes. We accept the following:
1. Check by mail to The Hill Pet Crematory, PO Box 22, Pocahontas, MO 63779
2. Payment directly to your veterinarian
Horses: While we personally can not accommodate horses, we do work with a crematory who offers pickup and cremation for your horse. Please contact us for more information immediately upon the death of your horse.
