Do you offer same-day cremation?
Yes. Our 24-hour service package guarantees the return of all ashes within 24 hours from pickup (Mon–Fri), as long as the schedule and crematory capacity allow. We will confirm exact timing with you when you call.

Yes. We offer a package upgrade that allows you to be present for a witnessed private cremation. A private room is prepared for final goodbyes when available.
How can I be sure I’m getting my own pet’s ashes back?
Our PTID tracking system with QR code scans at every handoff ensures the ashes you receive belong to your pet. Each pet is tagged, logged, and tracked from pickup to return.

How does 24-hour or emergency pet cremation work?
When you need 24-hour or emergency pet cremation, we prioritize your case. 1. You call or text us and let us know it is urgent. 2. We arrange pet remains pickup from your home, vet clinic, or emergency hospital in Miami, Miami Lakes, Country Club, and nearby areas. 3. Your pet is carefully tagged and logged into our PTID tracking system so you always know where they are. 4. You choose private or individual cremation, and we explain the difference between individual vs communal cremation. 5. In most 24-hour cases, your pet’s ashes are ready the next day, depending on the time of pickup and crematory schedule.
What should I do if my pet dies at home?
If your pet passes away at home: 1. Move your pet to a cool, quiet room away from direct heat or sunlight. 2. Place a towel or blanket under them to protect surfaces and keep them dignified. 3. Take a moment with them if you need to. 4. Call Angel Paws USA and tell us you need pet body transportation service or after-hours pet cremation. We will explain your options, arrange pickup, and guide you through choosing a cremation package. You don’t have to figure anything out on your own.
What is the difference between private, individual, and communal cremation?
• Private cremation: Your pet is the only one in the chamber and the ashes returned are 100% your pet. • Individual cremation: Pets are separated with physical barriers but cremated in shared equipment. Ashes are returned with high accuracy at a slightly lower cost. • Communal cremation: Multiple pets are cremated together and ashes are not returned. This is the least expensive option and is chosen when families do not want ashes back. Angel Paws USA provides clear documentation and PTID tracking so you can feel confident in whichever option you choose.
Do you handle both dog and cat cremation?
Yes. We provide cremation services for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages in Miami, Miami Lakes, Country Club and surrounding areas. Each pet is gently transported, tagged into our PTID system, and cremated according to the package you choose.
