Four pet cremation services are offered across the Caddo Parish market.
Private cremation
Your pet is the only one in the chamber, and the ashes returned belong to your pet alone. Most Shreveport families choose this when they plan to keep their pet’s ashes.
Private vs. partitioned — what to askPrivate with witness
A subset of private cremation where you or your family can be physically present at the facility. Offered by a small number of Caddo Parish providers.
Aquamation
A gentler, water-based alternative to flame cremation that uses far less energy and produces no direct emissions. Legal for pets nationwide and offered by a growing number of Caddo Parish providers.

How it works
-
We vet so you don’t have to.
We audit local providers annually — documentation, true individual cremation, reputation. Only one local provider per city earns the recommendation: the one we’d trust with our own pet.
-
You reach the right provider.
Fill out the form below. We pass your information to the Shreveport provider we would trust with our own pet — and they walk you through the specifics for your pet, including pricing for your situation.
-
Your pet is cared for.
Pickup, cremation, and return of ashes — and you know what’s happening at every step. One call. They take it from there. Get back to grieving — not researching.
Why a trusted provider matters
Pet cremation isn’t the most transparent industry, and the provider you choose decides what happens to your pet.
-
64% of Louisiana providers publish no price.
Of the 11 Louisiana providers we reviewed in 2026, 4 published full pricing online. Pricing genuinely varies by weight and service — but the result is that you do not know what you will pay until you are already on the phone, on the worst day of your year.
-
Price scales with your pet's weight.
A 10-pound cat and a 90-pound dog do not cost the same to cremate — a heavier body takes longer in the chamber and burns more fuel. Most providers use two to four weight tiers, and the spread between the low and high tier on the same service commonly runs $100–$300.
-
No provider is headquartered in Shreveport itself.
Of the 11 Louisiana providers in our review, none are based in Shreveport. Families here are served from surrounding areas, which makes transport a real line item rather than an afterthought. Ask what the pickup radius is, what the mileage fee is to your address, and how long collection will take.
-
The clinic's provider is a default, not an obligation.
Vet clinics often bundle cremation into the euthanasia invoice. It is genuinely convenient at a moment when arranging it yourself is close to unthinkable — but it sometimes carries a markup, and you are free to arrange your own provider instead.

Serving the Shreveport metro
Pet cremation coverage across Caddo Parish.
A ballpark you can plan from.
No Louisiana provider in our review published aquamation pricing, so if the water-based option matters to you, ask early rather than assuming it is available. Shreveport pet cremation pricing is not standardised — but it is not a mystery either. Plan from what is real, and reach the provider we would trust with our own pet when you are ready.

How much does pet cremation cost in Shreveport?
Among Louisiana providers that publish pricing, private (individual) cremation clusters around a median of $187–$380, with the full published range running $100–$495. Communal cremation, where ashes are not returned, runs lower — $60–$265 published. Price tracks your pet's weight most of all. Always ask for the all-in total in writing, including pickup and the urn.
Why won't most Shreveport providers publish a price?
Because they are not required to. In our 2026 review of 11 Louisiana providers, 4 — 36% — published full pricing, and 64% published none at all. Pricing genuinely varies by weight and service type, which is part of the reason. But the effect is that you cannot compare before you engage.
Does Louisiana license pet crematories?
No. Louisiana's cremation statute, La. R.S. 8:651 and following, governs the cremation of human remains only and does not reach pets. There is no Louisiana licence, recordkeeping mandate, or consumer-protection standard specific to a pet crematory. That does not mean providers are careless — it means the checks that protect you are the ones you ask for yourself, in writing.
Is aquamation available near Shreveport?
Not from any provider in our review — 0 of the 11 Louisiana providers we reviewed offer aquamation. Aquamation is a gentler water-based alternative to flame cremation. It is not reliably cheaper; nationally our medians for the two overlap.
Can you bury a pet in your backyard in Caddo Parish?
In most of Louisiana you can, but it is a local rule. Louisiana's carcass-disposal statute, La. R.S. 3:2131, names only livestock and does not reach dogs and cats, so backyard pet burial is governed by parish and municipal ordinance instead. Check Shreveport and Caddo Parish before you dig.
Why does parish rather than county matter in Louisiana?
Because Louisiana is the only state that uses parishes rather than counties, and its pet-burial rules sit at that level. Louisiana's carcass-disposal statute, La. R.S. 3:2131, names only livestock and does not reach dogs and cats, so the rule that binds you is Caddo Parish and City of Shreveport ordinance. When you search for guidance, searching for the parish rather than the county is what will actually surface the right document.
What should I ask if no provider is based in Shreveport?
Ask about transport first, before price. Our 2026 review found no pet cremation provider headquartered in Shreveport itself, which means collection is coming from outside the city and the logistics are a real part of what you are buying. Ask how long collection will take, whether there is a mileage fee to your address, whether they can collect from your veterinary clinic directly, and what happens if your pet dies overnight or at a weekend.
How does Hallowed Paws make money if it is free to use?
We charge a flat monthly retainer to the one vetted local provider we partner with per city. We never take a percentage, never earn more for steering you toward costlier services, and never accept paid listings from competitors.
