In a bid to offer pets a dignified farewell, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has teamed up with People for Animals (PFA) to launch doorstep cremation facilities. This novel service aims to provide convenience to grieving pet owners, sparing them the distress of transporting their beloved animals to distant crematoriums.


Under this initiative, pet owners can request pick-up services for their deceased pets, eliminating the need for personal transportation. A designated vehicle will collect the departed pet from their home and transport it to a pet crematorium for incineration. The ashes will then be returned to the owners, ensuring a respectful closure.


The current pet cremation capacity at Gajularamaram and Gopanpally stands at two animals per hour. Pet owners can arrange for pick-up by contacting 950553788. The GHMC plans to establish three additional pet crematoria in Secunderabad, Charminar, and Khairatabad zones, complementing the existing facility at Fathullaguda, where approximately 30 pets are cremated each month.


The service, available upon request, comes at a cost starting from Rs 2,500, depending on the distance. To facilitate this initiative, GHMC is in the process of setting up two new pet crematoria at Gopanpally and Gajularamaram, which will be operational in the coming months, in addition to the Fathullaguda crematorium established in 2022.


A senior GHMC official expressed, "Through this initiative, GHMC and PFA aim to extend support and comfort to those mourning the loss of their beloved animal companions, ensuring they receive a dignified send-off." Vasanthi Vadi, Founder and President of PFA Hyderabad, emphasized the availability of their team throughout the year, encouraging pet owners to contact them at 950553788 to arrange for the collection of their deceased pets.
