Our pets are our family, say goodbye with compassion and love ~ Water Pet Cremation Brisbane
Water pet cremation is a gentle, eco-friendly alternative to fire pet cremation or burial
At Paws to Heaven, Water Pet Cremation Brisbane, we understand the joy your beloved pet has brought to your life and how difficult it is to lose them. Our furry companions offer so much love and happiness that when the time comes to say goodbye, it can be one of the most emotional and challenging periods of our life.
Many pet owners find comfort in the thought that their friend lived a wonderful life – they had the happiest days chasing balls in the yard, sticking their heads out of the car window, or curling up on your lap for a nap. Whilst we can’t turn back the clock, as precious family members, they deserve to be treated lovingly and with respect and dignity for their final journey. We pride ourselves on offering the highest standards of care and service to both your pet and your family.
Please get in touch when you are ready and we will be here to support you through this time.

About Paws to Heaven – Water Pet Cremation Brisbane
Paws to Heaven, Water Pet Cremation Brisbane, is a family owned and operated business that provides Water Pet Cremation services throughout Greater Brisbane.
As pet owners, we love our four moodles and they form a very important part of our lives. When one of our dogs – Tilly – passed, we were devastated. In our house, the dogs are treated the same as the rest of the family and we grieved her loss terribly.
After Tilly’s passing, the reality of what to do next dawned upon us. Fire cremation did not feel like the appropriate way to farewell our special girl and nor did a burial (as one day we will relocate and it will feel like leaving a family member behind). We started investigating options on how we could provide a natural and gentle service that deals with the passing of pets and respects their memory. It quickly became apparent that Water Pet Cremation was the alternative we were looking for.
We made the decision to commence Paws to Heaven – Water Pet Cremation Brisbane, for two main reasons. Firstly, a water pet cremation is a very gentle and natural alternative to fire pet cremation. Secondly, it is environmentally friendly and pollution free.
We provide dignified memorials for your pets and treasure the great times that they’ve given you.
Our Water Cremation services enable you to remember the final stage of your precious pet’s life lovingly and gently
I chose Paws to Heaven because they were one of the few who organised everything. From calling them to arrange the vet visit at home (vet Audrey was amazing. So compassionate and just lovely and caring), to the pick up,... care of and drop off. My beautiful girl had cancer, and she was returned home today. Throughout the process, Sharon kept me updated every day. The choice of urns is also excellent, and I'm glad I was able to get one that reminded me so much of my furbaby.read more

Sharon and her team were the most gentle, kind and compassionate during the hard goodbye to our girl Ralph.

We had to make the sudden and painful decision to say goodbye to our little girl. Sharon answered my call first ring and came to our house to collect our little one with only a few hours of notice. The van that she was... collected in was decked out with a bed and everything in the back so that she wasn’t just thrown on someone’s back seat. We had the ashes back in a beautiful frame within one week with multiple lots of fur and paw/ nose prints as well as a gorgeous certificate to go along with it. It was of course a very difficult time but Sharon and her team were able to take some of the stress away. She was extremely compassionate and communicated throughout the entire process. I knew from the moment that I met her that our girl was in safe hands. I cannot recommend Sharon and her team enough.read more

We lost our beautiful cat Daphne to cancer when she was only one a half, and I’m so glad we found Paws to Heaven to help us honour her memory. Sharon was amazing — she was so kind and compassionate and I knew... immediately that we’d made the right choice. She called to let us know when she’d collected Daphne from our vet, explained everything really clearly and kept us updated over the next few days until Simon hand-delivered Daphne home to us. The urn and certificate are so beautiful, and Sharon’s care and communication helped us navigate an incredibly heartbreaking time a little more easily. Thank you, Sharon, Simon and the Paws to Heaven team! 💖read more

Sharon was absolutely wonderful throughout our entire experience. She called us to let us know when she had collected Archer from the vet, gave us a few days to work out what path we were taking and then ensured that we... knew what was happening each step of the way. Marty delivered our boy back home to us. Thank you Sharon and Marty, you are both amazing people and we cannot thank you both enough for helping us.read more

I cannot recommend Sharon and her team enough. After seeing on our 16yo Pip’s face and accepting it was time, we chose Paws to Heaven to prepare and care for Pip’s travel across the Rainbow Bridge. Sooo much respect,... compassion and consideration was given to us through the booking in process, collection of Pip from home with so much grace and dignity, and choosing how we wanted to represent Pip in our home. The Certificate and fine touches have been beautiful. Paws to Heaven will be our go to should we want to put ourselves through all that heartbreak again. Thank you xoread more

The loss of an absolutely adored pet is beyond words. I was devastated to say the least, and the very thought of having to part with him for the next part of the process was heartbreaking. He was such a beautiful,... gentle soul, and all I wanted was reassurance that he would be cared for as he lived.From the very moment I contacted Paws to Heaven, I felt their compassion and empathy. I reiterated my concerns around how my special boy would be handled, but Sharon assured me he would be well cared for, with love, respect and tenderness.Through the grief, Sharon was able to put me at ease and she kept in constant contact until he was returned home to me.The service received from my first phone contact, was impeccable. I would highly recommend Paws to Heaven to anyone going through such a difficult transition.Thank you Sharon and team ❤️ 🐾read more

We had the most wonderful experience using Paws to Heaven and highly recommend them to any pet owner. From the beginning they were very caring and attentive. They were able to pick up our beautiful cat from the vet and... his ashes were hand delivered to our door. The lovely extras were all included including paw and nose prints, microchip and a fur clipping which were an extra charge when I looked into other companies. The care and attention they gave helped make a difficult time more peaceful. Our family love that Marley is still with us in his special box. Our kids were also happy to know that he wasn't burnt in a fire. Thank you so much for everything!!read more

If you're reading this, I'm so sorry for your loss. We recently lost our beloved little man, and finding Sharon at Paws to Heaven was a godsend during this difficult time.A word of caution: avoid the large companies... with glossy brochures that your vet may recommend.They often prioritise profits over compassion, and may even receive kickbacks from the vet. Instead, opt for a small, family-owned business like Paws to Heaven. Their personalised, compassionate, and unbelievably kind approach made all the difference for us.We chose water cremation, a beautiful way to say goodbye to our loved one.Not only is Paws to Heaven price-competitive with the larger companies, but they also offer exceptional quality of care and craftsmanship in their memorial boxes – something you won't find elsewhere.Thank you, Sharon, for taking such wonderful care of our Prince. Please continue doing the incredible work you do.read more

Their communication was clear and respectful, answering all... my questions patiently. They never made me feel like just a customer, but rather someone who was going through a deeply personal loss.

A wonderful and compassionate group of people. They looked after one of my guinea pigs a couple of months ago. I sadly lost another old girl this week and texted Sharon.She organised collection without needing to... clarify who I was or any of my info. This has taken such a burden off an overwhelming task. Rescuing animals is a joy but can be so hard, these lovely folks have helped so much in making the heartbreaking moments just a little easier. Thank you.read more

I cannot recommend Paws to Heaven enough to anyone who needs to know that their beautiful fur baby is been treated with love and respect after passing. We had to make the heartbreaking decision to put our Harry to... sleep. When I contacted Sharon at Paws to Heaven, she spoke with me in length with so much compassion and understanding. We wanted the vet to come to the house for Harry and Sharon gave us all the information and contact details for this to happen. On the day Sharon came 45 minutes after the vet so we could have time with him. When she arrived, she just sat with us and Harry while we said our final goodbyes and then wrapped him up in a beautiful blanket just like a baby with Harry's face showing, and handed him back to me so I could hold him and carry him out to the van, where there was a beautiful bed just for him to lay him in. It felt so personal and perfect for us and for Harry. I never want to go through this heartbreak again, but if time heals and Harry brings me another dog, when it is time for them to say goodbye, I would definitely use Paws to heaven again. I can't thank Sharon enough for being the beautiful person she is and for the amazing personal service she offers.read more

Five stars is not a high enough rating for Paws to Heaven. I recently used their service when our beloved family pet crossed the rainbow bridge. From the first contact made with Sharon the genuine care and service has... been absolutley outstanding. Gayle collected our beautiful labrador, Rusty, the morning after his passing. She was so kind and respectful, particularly as my mum became upset when it was time to say her final goodbye. Communication with Sharon was smooth and non-intrusive during this difficult time. Gently chatting with me to determine our wishes for Rusty's remains. Then Simon returned Rusty to our home, along with two (freshly laundered) blankets that we sent with Rusty. The attention to detail (nose prints - so unexpected) and beauty of Rusty's memorial certificate and timber box are keepsakes we will treasure. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Paws to Heaven team, you helped make a very difficult time a little easier to bear. I simply can not recommend this company highly enough.read more

Sharon was amazing through the entire process. From the moment we contacted Sharon she was compassionate and made the entire process stress free. The utmost care was taken with our biggie and there was no rush, giving... our family all the time we needed. The care did not stop once she had collected our beloved dog, there were follow up calls to check in and his ashes were delivered home to us in a week. The extra touches like nose & paw prints, clippings of fur and the memorial certificate are keepsakes you don’t think of in the moment, so was really nice to receive. So much thought and care! Through such a hard time, we knew we had made the right choice in paws to heaven.read more

My Experience with Paws To Heaven has been absolutely Beautiful. The first time I spoke to Sharon, I knew my Boy was going to be looked after in his final stage of life. I spoke to Sharon a few times & I was so Grief... Stricken & she had the right words that I needed to hear. I won't ever own another pet because it's just to hard but I recommend Paws To Heaven 100% to anyone who needs the compassion the expertise of the end of life for your fur babies.

It’s no coincidence that Sharon and the team at paws to heaven have all 5 star reviews. The service that they provide at such an incredibly hard time is beautiful, heartfelt and compassionate. Sharon made the whole... experience so easy for us and at a time like this, that meant the world. It takes a certain kind of person/people to be in this line of work and I truly believe that from the experience we had, there are no better people to handle such a heartbreaking time than the team at paws to heaven. When Simon came out to bring our girl home he was very caring and answered all our questions and even confirmed for us that when the time comes and our boy crosses the rainbow bridge that they will put our babies together. I know this is a long review and a bit of a ramble but words honestly cannot describe how happy we are with paws to heaven. If you are looking for a sign or a review to help you decide who to use, this is your sign!read more

Our sweet boy Bentley had to cross the rainbow bridge just a couple of days after Christmas. I looked into a couple of pet cremation services and as soon as I found Paws to Heaven I knew they would be who we used. I... love the idea of water v. fire. I reached out to Sharon by email and her response was not only very quick, but so full of love and compassion. It was really comforting at such a difficult time and I knew I'd picked the best.Gayle came to pick my boy up and I felt the same love and compassion from her. She was so patient, gentle and kind, letting our other dog say goodbye again before making him so comfy and taking him away.The whole experience was so peaceful and I feel like we got closure which made the grieving process a little easier for us. Sharon communicated with me throughout the week, and Marty brought him home - again, punctual, compassionate and professional service.I cannot at all fault this business and I highly recommend them to anyone who has to go through the heartbreaking event of losing a pet.Thank you to all the team for taking such amazing care of our beautiful boy ❤️read more

I want to express my immense gratitude to Paws to Heaven – they are truly extraordinary! 🤍When our beloved 16.5-year-old boy passed away while I was away, I was in a state of panic as I started searching for a... cremation service. Paws to Heaven came up in my Google search, and with their flawless record of 5-star reviews, I decided to give them a try. As I went through the process, it became abundantly clear why they've earned such praise.Sharon, in particular, went above and beyond for us, and I cannot thank her enough. She provided an incredible amount of comfort during this exceptionally challenging time.

I would firstly like to thank paws to heaven for their outstanding service and empathy. My beautiful, ,loyal and loving staffy meant the absolute world to me and I think of her every single day. At 9pm on a Friday night... I unfortunately had to call paws to heaven to help me through this awful experience. Not only did they come immediately from the other side of town the lovely lady that picked up my beautiful "Zoggy doggy" as she was known , she also showed compassion and many kind words that I will never forget. It has taken me 3 months to be able to be strong enough to have the courage to even call them and thank them personally for their amazing actions. I would have paid anything for their outstanding service but instead was given such a ridiculously inexpensive rate. So thank you so much paws to heaven you guys are amazing.Much loveTony Griffin and "Zoggy Doggy"read more

After his two-year battle with canine lymphoma, we lost our eight-year-old Mini Schnauzer, Fritz, in September 2023. We decided on a water cremation for Fritz as, having read a little about it, we decided it seemed a... very peaceful process. We chose Paws to Heaven to handle everything and could not be happier with the service we received. Fritz's ashes were hand-delivered to us today in a beautiful, polished timber case, together with an excellent memorial certificate exhibiting his photo, his pawprint and a lock of his stunning black and silver coat. We have no hesitation in recommending Paws to Heaven to take some of the overwhelming stress out of a deeply sad time for most families.Mike and Liz Butlerread more

After making the difficult decision to let our 13 1/2 year old beautiful German Shepherd Hamish go. The family was heartbroken. We decided on Paws to Heaven as we loved the idea of a water cremation as a gentle goodbye... for our beautiful boy.I cannot thank Sharon and her caring staff enough. The care, kindness and compassion shown was lovely. Sharon kept in touch every step of the way, and our big beautiful boy was home again in less than a week. Thank you so much Sharon you are a very special person.read more

I cannot recommend Paws to Heaven highly enough. Loosing a fur baby family member is one of the hardest and most painful times. Sharon made the process of caring for my boy, Calvin much easier than I thought. She was so... compassionate and caring. From the first phone call to Paws to Heaven, to the call that Calvin was in their care to bringing him home I felt he was so well cared for until I got him back. Thank you so much Sharon and team for your service I am so grateful for you and you got him back to us so fast. Such a gentle service with a loving certificate to remember our boy with his photo, hair and paw prints.Thank you again ❤️🙏🏻🐾read more

Paws to Heaven provided a loving and amazing experience when we lost my daughter's cat, Nessa. Sharon came straight out to pick her up as soon as she passed. She explained the process to my daughter and reassured her... that she would be taken care of gently. Sharon rang and confirmed all the details and extra items we wanted to purchase. She kept in contact throughout the process of cremating and preparing Nessa. We were able to pick Nessa up with her beautiful keepsakes. Highly recommend you let Sharon take care of your loved and cherished pet. Thankyou so much.read more

We are so grateful to Sharon and the team at Paws to Heaven. We lost our pup during the night, and initially thought we would wait until the morning. But with each passing moment we were finding it unbearable to leave... him overnight so we rang the number and Sharon was at our house within the hour. She was calm and soothing from the moment she arrived. Loosing a beloved dog is such a gut wrenching time and it is a small comfort to know they are in great hands and being treated with the utmost care.I love that the process is more environmentally friendly and we are very happy with what feels a more gentle way to say goodbye . The memorial box is beautiful and the extra touches on the certificate are something we will forever treasure . Our sincere thanks.read more

We are forever grateful for the care and compassion shown by Sharon and her wonderful team during such a difficult time. We lost our boy unexpectedly in the early morning hours and within minutes of my call, Sharon was... on the way to help us. She treated our Pluto with such a high level and kept in touch with us during the entire time. From the moment I spoke to Sharon to when Pluto was brought home to us, they made the process as easy as possible. Thank you for being there for not only Pluto but for us during such a sad time in our family.read more

Sharon at Paws to Heaven was simply amazing. We had to say goodbye to our beautiful big Labrador cross Bonnie unexpectedly at home and we had no idea what to do next. Sharon was caring, kind and respectful and quickly... collected Bonnie from our home. She and the team were wonderful and incorporated our wishes and had great communication by phone call and text to walk us through the process. We can’t thank Sharon and the rest of Paws to Heaven enough for everything they did and would highly recommend them to anyone considering cremation of their fur baby.read more

If I could give 10 stars to Paws to Heaven I absolutely would. From the first moment I contacted Paws to Heaven until the final moment I had my beautiful little darling back home with me, the team were nothing but... loving, kind, patient, understanding, thoughtful and always completely respectful to both my fur baby and myself.Sharon from Paws to Heaven went above and beyond throughout the entire process, from arranging the lovely Gail to collect my little fur baby from the vet with no notice after we had to unexpectedly say goodbye to her, to returning our Meg home to us in record time.Saying goodbye to my little fur baby of 15 years was devastating, but the team at Paws to Heaven brought her back to us in the most beautiful wooden puppy memorial box. The beautiful memorial certificate, which included paw prints and nose prints was beyond special. I also purchased the 'Together Forever' cylinder to keep some of my little sweetheart's ashes in and it is very elegant and good quality.I can't thank the Paws to Heaven team enough for everything they did for us in our time of need, and highly encourage anyone considering pet cremation to contact Paws to Heaven for water cremation.read more

❗️LONG REVIEW, WORTH THE READI meant to write this months ago but I was grieving. This was the first time I’ve ever had a special furry friend die and the team at Paws To Heaven were the biggest blessing... I could have asked for. My pet died at 4am and I called them at 8:30am, they arrived an hour or two later. I felt like they were respectful of how time sensitive the issue was but also gave adequate time to give my perfect pet his final cuddles.A team member arrived and she was so gentle and lovely. The nice lady talked to me about Latte, my rat who had passed away. She didn’t treat him like he was gross which I really appreciated, she treated him with kindness and respect and even asked questions about him. Paws To Heaven have a gorgeous company vehicle which is fantastically equipped to transport your fur babies comfortably and respectfully. I wanted to carry him myself (cried my eyes out) and she let me take as long as I wanted putting him in the vehicle.I called the next day to see if my pet was ‘okay’. I was worried they‘d think I was ridiculous for asking but I was able to speak with the owner of Paws To Heaven directly and she handled my enquiry so gracefully. She made me feel comfortable and took a long time speaking with me about my pet, I’ll never forget her saying “he’s been such a good boy.” It makes me cry even now as I write this. Sharon took me through the water cremation process, at my own request, and when we ended our phone call I understood my angel pet really was being put to rest peacefully and with love. All the confusing parts of his passing were handled by the expert team at Paws to Heaven. Things I forgot to request (paw print, etc.) were done for me anyway (I even got a tuft of his fur!) They knew how to handle this process flawlessly. When my baby came home he was delivered on time in a gorgeous, high quality gold & black designer urn. The entire service start to finish was exactly what my pet deserved and I am so grateful. Afterpay services are available which I also appreciated, they are very fairly priced and the payments options made this unexpected expense very affordable. Latte’s passing didn’t disrupt my financial circumstances so I was able to just grieve .My father has since used this service when his 18 year old cat passed away and we will continue to use this beautiful professional service when the time comes for all our beloved furry family members.Paws To Heaven; I can’t thank you or recommend you enough 🙏🏼💕read more

From the moment we called Sharon about booking our beloved Charlie's cremation, we knew we were going to be in good hands. She was so accommodating and empathetic, even though I am sure she deals with many people every... day. Special mention to Gail who collected Charlie after being put to sleep at home. It was truly the worst day of my life, loosing my best friend, my little buddy who had been with me the last 19 years. She was so lovely, patient and empathetic. Not once did we feel rushed and her hug goodbye was genuine, you could tell she meant it. The turn around time was quick and Marty delivered him home to us on a Saturday which was greatly appreciated. Even when we both started crying, both happy and sad to have our baby home, Marty was so nice and professional, he was able to make us smile. Thank you all again, your services are greatly appreciated ❤️read more

From the first day I enquired Sharon had been nothing but kind and accommodating, she kept me updated through out the entire process from picking up our cat to updating me and then organising a time for her to come back... homeThese people are wonderful, the process is a kinder and gentle alternative to traditional fire cremation, not only that, but they went out of their way to travel a little bit further to pick up my girl, the beautiful urn was wrapped up carefully so nothing got damaged, extra care was taken, and the necklace I got with a bit of her ashes sealed inside them was given to me in a lovely pouch.This company went above and beyond in many aspects, I also want to point out how grateful I am that they did not 1 paw print, but all 4.Spencer (my cat) was in great hands, and it is comforting to know she was well looked after, thankyou so much, your company has made this process feel a bit easier for me and my family and we are forever grateful.read more

Sharon and her team have been absolutely wonderful in helping me bring my beloved furbaby home again. I was so happy to be able to have her cremated by water, as I have never been comfortable with the idea of fire... cremation. I was pleased to read that the process is environmentally friendly and that I could still receive her ashes at the end. Sharon placed her ashes in the most beautiful cat urn and organised a personalised candle for me. As part of the package, she also provided me with each one of my girl's paw prints and all the fur clippings I had asked for and more. I could not have asked for better care of my darling girl at the end of her life. Thank you, Sharon & team 🙂read more

Thankyou to Sharon and Marty for your compassion and beautiful service you provide for our beloved pets. Our beautiful Roxy passed away in the evening on a Sunday and we were so relieved to find that not only did they... answer the phone, Marty came and picked up Roxy that same evening. It was also in the middle of the public holidays during the Christmas new year break. It made the process so much easier to bear, especially with young children in the house. Communication was regular, and informative with plenty of time given to make decisions. We had Roxy back at home with us in less than a week. What a wonderful alternative to have to traditional cremation. It felt truly gentle and akin to Roxy's love of water in her younger days. Their service and compassion was exceptional. Thankyou ❤read more

The loss of a cherished pet or animal companion can be as devastating as losing a close family member and the feelings of grief and loss can be overwhelming, but whilst you are coping with these emotions you will have to make a choice regarding your pet’s final journey.
At Paws To Heaven, we offer a service that is a dignified reflection of the love and compassion you are still sure to be feeling for your pet.
Water cremation is a process that has been utilised for decades (for both pets and humans) and is widely used overseas. Water Cremation is now established in Australia (one in every State) and continues to grow in popularity due to its peaceful and natural process together with its pollution free and environmentally friendly operation. This process still results in ashes similar to that of a fire cremation however much whiter and 20% more. The process of pet water cremation that we provide in Brisbane uses water and alkaline solutions to expedite the Natural process that would occur if you were to bury your pet. This results in ashes that are completely pathogen free and the procedure has absolutely no harmful by-products that would result from a fire cremation.
Paws To Heaven is a family-owned business that fully understands and empathises with you at your time of loss and our mission is to treat you and your departed pet with the highest levels of respect and sensitivity. Our pet cremation services in Brisbane are suitable for all types of animals, from cats and dogs, to smaller pets such as guinea pigs, rats, birds, mice, chooks, snakes, turtles etc – and even exotics such as bearded dragons, with packages to suit your specific needs.
At Paws to Heaven, we provide a range of individual water cremation packages to suit your wishes and your budget. These services include the collection of your pet and the ultimate return of the ashes with your choice of urn/memorial box etc, plus a lock of hair, paw print and memorial certificate.
For smaller animals, up to 1kg, we provide our Pocket Pet/Miniature individual water pet cremation service, where the ashes will be returned in your choice of urn/memorial box. This service also includes the collection of your pet and the ultimate return of the ashes with your choice of urn/memorial box etc, plus a lock of hair/feather, paw print/footprint and memorial certificate.
If you would prefer not to have ashes returned to you, then our individual water pet cremation “No Ashes Returned” service is available. This service includes the collection of your loved one and will result in the ashes being dispersed upon our own gardens. There is no pawprint/footprint, hair or memorial certificate with this service.
At Paws To Heaven, we conduct all of our services with the dignity and sympathy you would expect and we guarantee that ashes returned to you are entirely those from your pet.
Furthermore, we operate a sensitive and respectful collection service that is available between 7.00am to 6.15pm 7 days a week however there may be small after hours fee outside our normal office hours.
