CVMDL cannot release bodies for home burial but so that you are able to have your pet returned to you, we are able to work with you to plan a private cremation including a return of ashes, with a local crematorium.
Please contact the laboratory if you have any questions. Fees are subject to change without notice.
Please note: Submitting frozen specimens for necropsy may delay the turnaround times outlined below.
