What is Private Pet Cremation

Rainbow Bridge offers private cremations.  This means that one pet at a time is cremated in our private crematorium. Each pet is hand placed into the crematorium.  Once cremation is complete the ash is hand collected and placed in a container of your choice. Because of this you are assured that the ashes you receive are indeed those of your beloved friend.  We perform private cremations on a daily basis and cremate in order of arrival. Our cremation turnaround is generally three to seven business days.

How do I use the services provided by Rainbow Bridge

We work with all veterinary clinics in Omaha, Council Bluffs and the surrounding area. Please let your veterinarian know you are choosing Rainbow Bridge for aftercare of your pet. Your veterinarian can contact us to arrange transportation of your pet, to us, for Rainbow Bridge Cremation.

If you prefer, you can bring your animal to our main building at the Nebraska Humane Society during business hours. No appointment is necessary. Simply tell the desk attendant you need Rainbow Bridge Services.

We are located on the Nebraska Humane Society Campus 8929 Fort Street, Omaha.

Our hours are:

• Monday- Friday 9 a.m. - 7 p.m.
• Saturday-Sunday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
• You can also contact us at (402) 444-7800 ext. 2231

We will notify you when your cremation is complete. You can pick up your pet’s ashes at the customer service desk of our main building, or, if you are working with your veterinarian, at his or her office.
