How to grow your payments app with pet cremation services
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Pet cremation services look after pets that have died, collecting them from the owner's home or the vet, and offering individual cremation with the ashes returned or a shared cremation at a lower price. Many also sell urns, paw print keepsakes, jewellery and memorial stones. Owners are grieving, often paying in a rush or through their vet, and some want family members to share the cost. A payments app that makes paying gentle, simple and clear can win pet crematoriums, and every family who pays them sees your app.
Talk to pet crematoriums
Ask local pet cremation services:
- How do owners pay when they book a cremation?
- How do payments work when the pet comes through a vet?
- How do people pay for urns, keepsakes and memorials?
- Do family members ever want to share the cost?
Make paying gentle and simple
A payment link sent by text or email lets owners pay in their own time from home, without having to handle money at the hardest moment.
Sell keepsakes and memorials
A link for each urn, keepsake or memorial lets owners choose and pay after the cremation, and share the link so family members can pay their part.
Grow through pet businesses
Pet crematoriums work closely with vets, pet shops and memorial makers. When those businesses take payments through your app, each crematorium can bring more of them onto it.
