Editorial Standards
PetCremation.org is an independent directory and education site. This page explains how we decide what to publish, who reviews it, how we verify the providers we list, and what we do when something is wrong.
Who writes and reviews content
Cheryl Wright founded PetCremation.org and is responsible for the site’s editorial direction. He is not a veterinarian. He is a pet owner who has navigated pet cremation more times than he wanted to, and who found the available information inadequate enough to build something better.
All guide content — pricing pages, how-it-works articles, state-level explainers — is written or reviewed before publication by at least one of the following:
- A licensed veterinary professional
- A certified pet loss grief counselor
- A working pet cremation professional with verifiable credentials
The reviewer’s name and credential appear on any page they reviewed. If a page is listed as “By Cheryl Wright” without a reviewer, it covers directory or process content rather than medical or grief-adjacent claims.
How we verify providers
Every provider listed in our directory has been verified by phone. We call to confirm the business is operating, confirm the services listed are accurate, and confirm the price ranges we display are current. We do not list providers we cannot reach.
Providers are re-verified annually. If a provider’s phone is disconnected or the business has closed, the listing is removed within 30 days of us becoming aware of it.
Providers cannot pay to be listed. They can pay for a Featured placement within our directory — a more prominent position in search results. Featured placements are always marked. The decision to include a provider, and any editorial content about them, is independent of whether they have paid for placement.
Pricing data
Price ranges on this site are collected through direct provider surveys, conducted twice a year. We ask providers for their current price range for communal and private cremation, and we publish those ranges with the date of collection.
We do not scrape prices from other directories or aggregate them from unverified sources. If a provider declines to share pricing, we do not publish a price range for them.
Editorial independence
PetCremation.org earns revenue through Featured provider placements and a small number of affiliate relationships with vetted national providers. Affiliate links are disclosed at the point of use. Neither placement fees nor affiliate relationships influence our editorial content — which providers we recommend, how we describe cremation options, or what we say about pricing.
We do not accept sponsored content, native advertising, or paid reviews. We do not allow providers to review their own listings before publication.
Corrections and updates
If something on this site is wrong — a price that is out of date, a provider that has closed, a factual error in a guide — we want to know. Email hello@petcremation.org with the page URL and what you believe is incorrect. We investigate every report and update the page within 7 days if the correction is valid. Significant corrections are noted at the top of the page with the update date.
