There is a local gentleman here who provides this service. You can request a private or group cremation. Private of course is your pet and your pet alone, and group being a group of animals and you get a portion of the 'group' remains in return. He charges by weight. I can't quite remember the charge per pound. When I had Jade creamated, he was done privately and it cost $50, and when Daisy Mai came to pass, he had up his fees a bit and she was $65. She was lighter in weight than Jade Elaine. I have had Jade and Daisy both done privately, I want my babies and my baby only back in their entirety. I don't know if the charge per lb. applies to ferrets. I don't think so cause if it did, to creamate a large dog would cost a small fortune!! And I think his pricing overall is very reasonable.
