Lowcountry and Midlands area families have placed their trust in McAlister-Smith Funeral & Cremation for 135 years. These same families turn to us to assist with their pets, as well. It only makes sense to trust the care of your entire family, including your special four-legged friends, to trusted funeral professionals.

Cremation options

If your pet is a part of your family, you've come the right place. Trust us to provide compassionate cremation services for your beloved pet.

Private

With this selection, your pet is cremated individually. Included with this service is the option to witness the start of the cremation from a private room. 

Partitioned

With this selection, your pet will be cremated at the same time as other pets, but are separated by a fire safe brick partition to ensure no comingling of the cremated remains.

Communal

This selection is for those families who choose for McAlister-Smith to keep the cremated remains and bury them beside the memorial pond outside of our West Ashley location.

Transportation

We will gladly bring your pet into our care from your veterinarian's office or from your home. Please contact us for after-hours pick-up fees.



You may also schedule an appointment to bring your pet directly to any of our locations.
