WVDL Policy Change for Pet Cremations

Beginning March 1, 2025, the submitting veterinarian will simply select the cremation company of choice on the WVDL Necropsy Submission Form. The chosen pet cremation service company will directly contact the pet parents to guide them through cremation options. Owners should expect this contact to occur within 2 business days of the WVDL receiving the pet. Pet owners will directly pay cremation costs to the crematorium of choice.

Please included the following on the WVDL Necropsy Submission Form to streamline this process:
✅ Pet’s Name
✅ Client’s First and Last Name
✅ Client’s Phone Number
✅ Client’s Email

Both Trusted Journey and Camelot Cremation services pick-up from our Madison and Barron laboratory facilities.

Other cremation options may be used; however, WVDL does not ship remains to crematoriums, therefore remains must be picked up by the company.

WVDL appreciates your partnership and your commitment to supporting pet families with compassion. Please reach out with any questions.
