Shawna F. from Jacksonville says:
Robert was incredibly kind and understanding and went out of his way to help my family. He was the second company we called after receiving a quote from the first that was well over a thousand dollars.
While price isn't everything, Affordable Pet Cremation of Florida was both better priced, and a much, much better company to work with. He gave us a precise pick up time, kept in contact during his commute to us, treated both us and our pet like family, and returned the ashes with great care within 3 days.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience during a terrible time.

Don't Get Treated Like a Number
On the hardest day of your life, you deserve to look back and know your pet was cared for by someone you spoke with personally — not lost in a backlog.
From pick up at your home to engraving your best friend's urn, you're dealing with one person: me.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING GUY DURING A HORRIBLE TIME!!!! We lost our little furry family member and was trying to figure out what to do at 5am on a Sunday during Thanksgiving weekend. Robert answered the phone and told me to bring our furry member in. He was extremely sweet and kind during the whole process and not only took him in on a Sunday but had the process completed in a couple hours.
YOU CAN'T FIND PEOPLE LIKE HIM ANYMORE!!!! When he says 24hrs a day service, he means it. I hope not too need him for a long time but if the need comes, I'll most certainly come here.

That means clear answers, fast decisions, and personal care at every step. No scripts. No confusion. Just one responsible person making sure your pet is treated with dignity and respect.
You’ll always know who you’re speaking with—and who is caring for your pet.

Your pet is cremated right here at our facility—never shipped out, never transferred, and never handled by a third party.
This matters because it eliminates mix-ups, delays, and unanswered questions. Your pet stays in one place, under one roof, with one accountable provider.

A Note from the Founder
Dear Pet Parents,
Losing a beloved pet is one of the hardest moments a pet parent can face. The overwhelming grief, coupled with the need to make decisions about their final farewell, can feel daunting. You want a way to honor your furry family member with dignity and respect, but navigating this emotional time can be overwhelming and painful.
At Affordable Pet Cremation of Florida, I understand the depth of your bond with your pet. As a pet parent and the founder of APC, I’ve dedicated my life to caring for animals—from flying adopted pets to their forever homes with Pilots and Paws, founding APC, to support you during this difficult moment and even starting a GiveSendGo campaign to help our neighbors with unexpected cremation costs. With professional expertise and heartfelt compassion, I'm here to help you through this process with care and understanding.
When you allow us the honor of helping you, you will receive the peace that comes with knowing your pet’s memory has been honored with the same love you gave them. With APC, you’ll feel supported, understood, and confident that your furry family member’s farewell reflects the bond you shared.
Warmest Regards,
Robert Altomare
Founder, APC-FL

Questions We Hear Most
Q: How fast can you help?
We provide same-day pick up to all of North Florida and are usually at your home within 30 minutes. We don't play the "arrival window" game like the cable companies. Instead, when you call we provide the exact time we'll arrive at your home. No more sitting around in your grief wondering when we'll arrive.
Q: How are ashes returned?
Every private pet cremation service includes a beautiful wooden urn, with your pet's name laser-engraved on its top, free of charge. You also receive a suitable-for-framing certificate of cremation and lapel pin to keep their memory close. Options and upgrades are also possible. We offer bundled pricing which really is the most cost-effective way to go.

We take pride in being Florida's most affordable pet cremation service. Our mission is to help you honor your beloved pet without breaking the bank. To ease the financial burden, we offer flexible payment plans for cremation costs. Additionally, we have launched a GiveSendGo campaign to support our neighbors in need with these expenses. Our prices start at $199 for small pets and go up to $389 for pets over 100 pounds. Don’t forget to inquire about our special rates for micro-pets and exotic animals.
Q: Can you pick up from my vet?
Yes, we coordinate directly with your clinic to make it easy.
Q: Can I drop off my pet at your facility?
You bet you can! Did you know that the larger pet crematories actually charge you to drop off your pet? Yeah, I don't play that game. If you'd like to save money, you are more than welcome to drop off your best friend for free. Just call ahead!
