After the cremation of a beloved pet, many owners find comfort and closure in scattering their pet’s ashes. This practice is not only meaningful, but it also symbolizes returning your companion to nature. It allows your pet to become part of the natural world once again and offers a peaceful way to say goodbye.
There are several ways to scatter your pet’s ashes in Singapore — each offering its own unique sense of comfort and ceremony. Whether by sea, on land, or at home, the goal is to honour your pet’s memory in a way that feels right to you and your family.
Sea Burials & Ash Scattering
Sea burial and ash scattering are meaningful acts that symbolise peace, freedom, and a gentle return to nature. They hold special significance for pets who loved the outdoors, the sound of the ocean, or playing by the beach. Surrounded by calming waters and open skies, the sea provides a serene and heartfelt setting for a final farewell.
In Singapore, the Maritime and Port Authority has designated a legal sea burial site 2.8 kilometres south of Pulau Semakau. This tranquil location can only be accessed by boat.
At Pet Cremators, we provide pet ash scattering services at sea, bringing you and your family out on a private yacht to say goodbye together. We take care of the yacht booking and guide you through each step, allowing you to focus fully on honouring your pet’s memory with peace and dignity.
Designated Burial Grounds
Another option is to scatter your pet’s ashes at designated burial grounds, such as those available at Mandai Pets Sanctuary. These grounds are specially maintained to offer a calm, respectful environment where families can say their final goodbyes and return in the future to remember their beloved pet.
While traditional in-ground burials are not allowed in most of Singapore, these designated grounds provide a legal and comforting alternative, surrounded by greenery and nature.
Scattering on Private Property
For those who prefer a more personal farewell, scattering ashes on private property is allowed in Singapore, provided it does not cause any harm to people, plants, or animals. This can be a meaningful choice for pet owners living in landed homes who wish to keep their companions close — perhaps in a garden they loved or a quiet corner of the yard.
This option allows you to create a home memorial and revisit the space as often as you wish.
Other Options for Pet Ashes
Keep the Ashes in an Urn
After cremation, many families choose to store their pet’s ashes in a beautiful urn. At Pet Cremators, you can choose to:
- Keep the urn at home, in a special place that reminds you of your pet — whether it’s a shelf, a bedside table, or a dedicated memorial corner.
- House the urn in our pet columbarium, a peaceful space designed specifically for remembrance. Our columbarium offers dignity, comfort, and a permanent place to visit and honour your pet’s memory.
Create a Pet Keepsake
For a more personal and lasting tribute, Pet Cremators also offers pet keepsake options. You can choose to:
- Have ashes placed in miniature urns or keepsake boxes
- Transform ashes into memorial jewellery, such as pendants, rings, or lockets
- Convert the ashes into gemstones, offering a timeless and wearable way to carry your pet with you
These keepsakes offer a physical connection to your pet and serve as beautiful reminders of the love you shared.
