CVMDL cannot release bodies for home burial.  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.

*If a communal cremation and a paw print is requested, please mark as a private cremation; alternatively, have the vet clinic perform the paw print.

Please contact the laboratory if you have any questions. Fees are subject to change without notice.

The pricing includes histopathology as deemed necessary by Pathologist.

*Charges below are in addition to a necropsy. If you are looking for the following services add the price to the Necropsy price*

Supplemental Charges	Price added to the price of Necropsy	Comments
X-Ray	$150.00	This fee is per X-Ray (one-view)
Legal Surcharge	$300.00	Fee added to all necropsy cases which could lead to litigation
Spinal Cord Examination	$150.00

Please note: Submitting frozen specimens for necropsy may delay the turnaround times outlined below.
