After at home euthanasia performed by veterinarian Dr. Steve Smith, DVM (who was very professional, he does 3 injections which I learned is more humane than 2 injections that most vets would skip), I personally took Bobo to a pet crematorium in DTLA that specialized in private cremations. I did not want anyone to touch Bobo, I had him with me to the very end.

Paws Pet Cremation located at East 16th Street was a super clean, modern, almost luxury facility in a neighborhood full of warehouses. They cremate one pet at a time and book one private appointment at a time. The pet owners like me are greeted and then escorted to a quiet, zen like sitting room where the lit candles. The lady in charge was so empathetic and gracious as I was still mourning obviously when I arrived. Their equipment is state of the art and I was allowed to stand by while they took Bobo's paw prints. They allowed me to place him the way I wanted to, with flowers, his toys.

I waited for him in the sitting room for a little over an hour and was able to leave with his ashes in a special urn that I picked out. I did not hear a thing while I waited, the way they built the building must have sound proof so you don't hear the furnace. You get a certificate to certify that your pet was privately cremated. Everything about my experience with Paws Pet Cremation was respectful.
