How to Start a Pet Cremation Business

February 24, 2020 By Firelake Mfg

Firelake Manufacturing does not offer pet cremation services, however, we do manufacture the cremation/incineration equipment so that businesses can integrate a cremation offering into their services. We know there is a high demand for pet crematoriums since we get many inquiries for the service. Cremation can be a great addition to a veterinarian or farming business.  A pet cremation business can also be a great start-up for entrepreneurs who love animals. With pet cremation and funerals becoming more common, the “pet loss” business is becoming more lucrative with few barriers for entry.

Getting Started in Pet Cremation

Pet Cremation businessBegin planning and researching your pet cremation business. Research the rules and regulations for pet cremation for your area, as well as your market, competition, and expectations.

Determine what pet cremation services you will offer. For instance, private pet cremations, mass cremations, equine cremations, veterinary cremations, etc. This will help you determine how you will reach your potential market.

Purchase reliable and efficient pet incinerator equipment. Getting the right equipment affects your bottom line. Firelake Manufacturing has been in business since the 1950s and has been selling pet incinerators across the globe. We can be a partner in success, providing reliability, expertise, and longevity.

When choosing a cremator manufacturer, consider:

  • Fuel efficiency
  • Customer Service
  • Cremator Maintenance
  • Equipment Features
  • Capacity and future growth
  • The lifespan of the product (look for 15 years+)
  • Local representation, cremator dealers
  • Cremator ROI/Payoff

Determine your projections payoff for the pet cremation equipment, as well as your future growth plans. Consider the cost and life of the cremator, how many animals you project to process, and operating costs.
