Pet Cremation, Grafton

We serve Grafton, South Grafton and the Clarence Valley. Quiet collection from your home or vet, with your companion returned to you personally.

How collection works in Grafton

We collect from your home or vet at a time that suits you. There's no pressure, no paperwork at the door, and your companion is always handled in person — never freighted, never combined with anyone else's.

Every cremation we perform is strictly individual — your companion is the only one in the chamber. You receive a Signed Certificate of Individual Cremation with the return of ashes, hand-delivered personally where possible.

Pet cremation in Grafton

Harbourside provides individual pet cremation for families in Grafton, including Grafton and the surrounding district. When your dog, cat, rabbit, bird or small companion has passed — at home, at the vet, or unexpectedly — Alby answers the phone himself, day or night, and takes it from there. There is no call centre, no hold music, and no pressure to decide anything on the spot.

We collect from your home or from your veterinary clinic in Grafton at a time that suits you. If it is the middle of the night and you would rather wait until morning, that is completely fine, and we will tell you exactly how to keep your companion comfortable until we arrive. Collection is always done in person by our own team, in an unmarked vehicle, and your companion travels on a clean blanket rather than in a crate.

Every cremation is strictly individual. Your companion is the only one in the chamber, identified by a single numbered SafeHarbour tag that stays with them from collection through to return. You receive a signed Certificate of Individual Cremation, an ink paw print, and a clipping of fur with every package. Ashes are typically ready within 5–7 business days.

We return your companion to you personally in Grafton wherever we can, hand to hand, rather than posting or couriering ashes. If you would prefer to collect, or would like us to hold the ashes until you feel ready, that is entirely your call and there is no charge either way.

Families in Grafton and the surrounding district choose Harbourside because we are a family business rather than a facility — Alby and Rachael run every part of it, and the person who collects your companion is the person who returns them. If you would like to talk through options for Grafton before deciding anything, call us and ask whatever you need to ask.

Grafton — common questions

Do you collect pets from Grafton?
Yes. We collect from homes and veterinary clinics across Grafton, including Grafton and the surrounding district, seven days a week and after hours. Call Alby on 0493 814 474 at any hour.
How much does pet cremation cost in Grafton?
Our companion cremation packages are transparently priced and published on our packages page, and the price is the same across our whole Grafton service area — there is no travel surcharge. Every package includes individual cremation, an ink paw print, fur clipping and a signed certificate.
How long does it take to get my pet's ashes back?
Ashes are usually ready within 5–7 business days of collection and are returned to you personally in Grafton wherever possible, rather than couriered.
Is the cremation definitely individual?
Yes. Your companion is the only one in the chamber. A single numbered SafeHarbour tag travels with them from collection to return, and you receive a signed Certificate of Individual Cremation.
My pet has died at home in Grafton — what do I do right now?
Call us first. We will talk you through how to keep your companion comfortable and dignified until we arrive, and we can usually collect the same day anywhere in Grafton. If you would rather wait until morning, that is completely fine.
Can my vet arrange it for me?
Yes. Most Grafton clinics can book us on your behalf through our vet portal, and you can still choose your own package and keepsakes directly with us.
