If you have a financial hardship, we have generous funds to help reduce euthanasia and group cremation costs. Unfortunately, we are not able to cover the costs of private cremations.
A gentle and pain-free procedure.
Ashes are returned to you in your choice of urn with a Certificate of Cremation.
Your pet will be group-cremated with other pets, and ashes are not returned.

A gift in memory of a pet honors the unique bond between human and animal. These special gifts commemorate our pets long after they are gone. When a memorial gift is made, you are not only honoring the love you have for your pet, but you are also supporting animals in need at Santa Barbara Humane, ensuring all animals receive the love, care, and compassion they deserve.
