Every pet tracked,
from intake to return.
PetCremLog gives small pet crematories a complete chain-of-custody record for every case: pet intake, tracking IDs, cremation certificates, case records, and clinic status links. No RFID hardware. No onboarding fee.

The problem
Chain of custody is not optional in pet cremation.
One mix-up ends careers. The families who trust you are grieving. They expect certainty. PetCremLog turns every case into a documented, timestamped chain of custody from intake to return.
A mix-up destroys trust instantly
Returning the wrong pet's ashes is catastrophic and irreversible. Every case needs a verified, timestamped chain of custody from the moment the pet arrives to the moment the ashes leave your facility.
Clinic partners call all day for updates
Each veterinary partner wants to know where their patients are. Answering those calls consumes hours every week. A secure, read-only status link eliminates the calls entirely.
Manual certificates undercut your professionalism
The cremation certificate is the document a family keeps forever. A generic Word template does not reflect the care you put into your work. A polished certificate with the pet's photo does.
Features

Mobile-first
Built for the cremation room, not the office.
Chain of custody breaks when it's hard to log. If your team can't update a case from the floor, they'll do it later. Or not at all. PetCremLog runs on any phone without installation. Log intakes during pickup, advance status from the cremation room, check cases between runs.
Works on any phone
No app to download or update. Open the browser, done.
Capture intake photos
Attach photos directly from the camera during pickup.
One-tap status updates
Move a case forward without leaving the cremation area.
Secure clinic links
Clinics check their own status link. The calls stop.

What is chain of custody and why does it matter in pet cremation? +
Chain of custody is a documented record of who had possession of a pet's remains at each step: intake, processing, completion, and return. In pet cremation, a gap or error in that chain can cause irreversible harm to a grieving family and lasting damage to your reputation. PetCremLog creates an append-only, timestamped custody log for every case.
Do I need any RFID hardware or special equipment? +
No. PetCremLog does not require RFID scanners, barcode readers, or any hardware beyond a smartphone or computer with a browser. You generate QR labels as PDFs that you can print on any label printer or standard paper.
How do clinic status links work? +
Each veterinary clinic in your account gets a unique, secure status link. When a clinic partner opens their link, they see a read-only list of their active cases and current status, with no login required on their end. You control when the link is active and can rotate or disable it at any time.
Can I log intakes from my phone during a pickup? +
Yes. PetCremLog is a mobile-first web app that runs in any phone browser without installation. You can create an intake, attach a photo, select the clinic, and generate the QR label all from your phone.
What does the cremation certificate include? +
The certificate PDF includes your facility name (and logo if uploaded), the pet's photo, name, species, breed, weight, cremation type, cremation date, responsible operator, a custom memorial phrase, and a tracking ID. Open the sample certificate on this page to see it in your browser. No download needed.
What is the launch price? +
The launch price is $79/month for the first 20 operators. That price is locked for life while your subscription stays active. After the first 20 spots, pricing will be higher for new subscribers.
Can I cancel anytime? +
Yes. There are no long-term contracts and no cancellation fees. You can cancel at any time from your account settings. Your access continues until the end of the billing period.
Are there per-pet fees or pet limits? +
No per-pet fees. The launch price includes unlimited pet cases, certificates, clinic status links, and custody events. PetCremLog is built for small and medium crematory operations. Unusually high-volume or abusive usage is handled under the Fair Use terms. We will never apply surprise usage charges.
Is there a free trial? +
No. PetCremLog does not offer a free trial right now. Instead, first-time customers get a 14-day money-back guarantee, so you can try the product without a long-term commitment.
Do you offer refunds? +
Yes. First-time customers have a 14-day money-back guarantee. If PetCremLog is not a fit, contact support within 14 days of your first payment.
Do you offer annual billing? +
The standard plan is monthly at $79/month. An annual billing option is available for early operators; contact us if you prefer to pay annually.
What happens after the first 20 launch spots? +
The $79/month launch price closes after the first 20 operators. New customers will pay higher regular pricing. Existing launch customers keep $79/month while their subscription stays active.
What if I cancel and want to come back later? +
You are welcome back, but at the then-current price. The launch price is tied to a continuous active subscription.
What happens to my data if I cancel? +
Your operational records are not automatically deleted when you cancel. You have a reasonable period to export case records and certificate PDFs before data deletion. We do not delete operational records without notice.
Does PetCremLog handle invoicing or billing to clinics? +
No. PetCremLog is an operational chain-of-custody tool, not an accounting or invoicing system. It does not generate client invoices, connect to QuickBooks, or manage your billing to clinics.
Does PetCremLog ensure compliance with state cremation regulations? +
No. PetCremLog records operational data and generates certificates to support your recordkeeping practices. It does not interpret state-specific legal requirements or certify compliance. Consult the regulations in your state and consider membership in IAOPCC or PLPA for industry guidance.
How quickly can I get started? +
Most operators complete their first real case within 10 minutes of signing up. Create your crematory account, add a clinic, create a pet intake, and receive a tracking ID immediately. No onboarding call required.
