If dog dies of old age at home, do we have to take the dog to the vet first or just take to crematory.

You can go straight to the cemetery. Call first to schedule.

Pick up is $60, you can bring it free of charge to the cemetery, or you can take it to your vet and have the cemetery pick up from there. Some vets charge a fee for holding, each vet is different.

When are dog died at home we took him to animal control and it only costs $80 to have him cremated and sent back to the animal control it was the best we've ever had and so much cheaper

They can come pick up your dog I believe it's free of charge
