About Us

Our Story

Born and raised in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Leesa, owner operator of the Sunshine Coast Pet Crematorium grew up sharing her house (and sometimes bed) with a variety of animals. Dogs, cats, birds, chooks, goats, wallabys and even a pet dingo. Leesa has come to know the community firsthand through her love of animals. With over 15 years experience in animal welfare, she’s played an avid role supporting the Coast’s animal shelters, providing foster care and aiding the local market by sourcing her equipment and services locally where possible.

Leesa knows firsthand how hard it is to say goodbye to your pet, how they become part of your family and part of your life – and how deserving every pet is of a loving send off. In 2017, Leesa founded the Sunshine Coast Pet Crematorium as a way to use her care and compassion for animals, and those who love them, to serve the Sunshine Coast community.

The Sunshine Coast Pet Crematorium is a small owner operated business so you can be assured of caring, personalised service. Also, being a small operation we try to keep our overheads low to make giving your pet a loving send off as affordable as possible for everyone.

RIP Frankie

A tribute to our beautiful, loving, loyal Frankie. I miss her every day. She came to us after what must have been a very hard first few years of life. Frankie, I hope you were able to forget those early years and know how loved you were. Leesa

Service Coverage Area

We do home or vet pick up and drop off to most of the Sunshine Coast and Noosa local government areas. We also service Gympie but this is generally limited pick up and drop off to Vet Surgeries only, due to the difficulty in scheduling home visits as we can not travel there every day.
Anyone outside this area is most welcome to make an appointment and bring your pet to our Crematory in Yandina.

Meet the Team

Kym

Kym has a love for all animals and came to work here after over 15 years volunteering and working at the Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge.

Lyn

Coming soon

Maddox

Loves sleeping in the front seat of the car, sleeping on his bean bag and sleeping on his recliner. And sometimes showing his favourite toys to visitors.

Yoko

Joining the team at 9 years of age and instantly the boss. Barks at visitors to the crematorium until they give her a pat.

Moana

Moana (she moans instead of meow), Aged 14 was surrendered to the Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge where she didn’t cope very well and stopped eating. We took her home to get her healthy and here she remains.

MC (Mumma Cat)

MC arrived with a littler of kittens but she was very scared and couldn’t be approached. She raised her kittens, hiding under a cabinet and hissing any time someone entered the room. She couldn’t be re-homed due to her extreme fear so she has stayed with us. Over the months she has slowly learned to relax a little (see pic)

Rest In Peace

Frankie

Found and dropped at the Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge heavily pregnant in 2006. Extremely timid and afraid, she ran away from her first adopted home before coming home with us aged approximately 3yrs. Unknown to us she was escaping under our fence while we were at work in the first weeks, but luckily would return in time for when we got home! A special companion, loved by everyone she met, RIP 2019.

Kelly

After being found in a skip bin and taken to the Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge. She was extremely afraid and difficult to get close to, yet not aggressive. She was adopted, only to be brought back because she would hide and not come out for days, even to eat. Kelly spent nearly a year at the Refuge (where we would see her couple of times a week while volunteering) before we were in a housing position able to take her home in 2005. She never quite warmed to strangers but loved her family. RIP 2021.

Kit Cat

KitKat found himself homeless at 14yrs of age and was taken in by 4 Paws Animal Rescue. At the time they did not have any foster carers available to look after him so we took him in. He fitted in so well we kept him. RIP 2022
