Allied Veterinary Cremation, Ltd. is a locally-owned & operated provider of provides small animal cremation to veterinarians throughout Central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. We also provide cremation services to humane societies, pet stores, and educational facilities. For most clients, automatic weekly pick-up of deceased pets from your facility occurs; with cremated remains of Private Cremations returned the following week.
We have veterinary clients in Adams, Berks, Centre, Dauphin, Franklin, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Montour, Northumberland, Perry, Schuylkill, and York counties, as well as in a few areas of northern Maryland.
We are authorized to receive pets from PA Diagnostic Labs (Harrisburg and Exton), as well as the PSU Animal Diagnostic Lab (State College).
We’re members of the International Association of Pet Cemeteries and Crematories. We use high-quality crematory equipment and employ certified operators. We serve our local community and surrounding areas so it is extremely important to us that our clients feel comfortable in trusting us.
Our goal is to provide a standard Private Cremation option that provides security in knowing the pet will be returned to its owner in suitable packaging, while not making the election of Private Cremation out of the affordable price range of many clients. By maintaining scheduled routes for pick-up and return, and maintaining an attractive standard return package, without requiring every client to select and purchase a costly urn, we can provide closure to many grieving pet parents.
Private Cremation includes the return of a pet’s cremated remains in an attractive hinged wooden urn, sized appropriate to each pet, with a memorial rose inside the urn, and a glossy black name plate with the pet’s first name. Identifying information is provided on the exterior of attractive outer packaging, along with a Memorial Card.
For clients wishing to select another style urn, we have added additional options that can be viewed on the website, and we are happy to work with you on ordering these. We also offer Clay & Ink Prints for those offices choosing not to do this in your own office.
Communal Cremation is also an option; a memorialized portion of all communal cremated remains are buried at Keystone Pet Cemetery, and a Memorial Headstone is installed for each year, beginning in 2017. This may bring additional comfort to those clients selecting Communal Cremation.
Medical Waste Disposal
While Allied does not operate medical waste disposal services, we do contract with a medical waste disposal provider in or to provide this service as a convenience to our clients. With this arrangement, the transportation of pets and medical waste is never co-mingled, as two completely different companies manage it. For additional information regarding medical waste and related costs, please contact us.
