When Loki passed, I think it took about about a week-ten days to get his ashes back.
I was at the time given a choice between having the ashes returned to me or sent to someplace up north called Bubbling Wells Pet Cemetary.
Between the name of the place and Loki's severe destructive separation anxiety when I first got him....it only stood to reason to keep him with me.
( I also rent, so he must come with me. Burying isn't an option)

Also at the time, I really was in a daze and not paying attention so I was surprised that his ashes came in a nice cedar box with a little plaque on it.
I don't even remember saying to the vet to add "The Big Lummox" at the time...so Lummox is preserved....

I am again, so sorry for your loss.

I think the longest I waited was about 2 weeks - because the company in charge of the engraving on the urn had to redo it. I buy permanently sealed brass urns that I can put a different engraving on each time, so it usually takes a week to 10 days to get everything back. Burying in the garden is illegal in Denver - not that I would consider it anyway, if we move I want each and every one to go with us. If you feel that it is taking too long I would call your vet ( if he/she was the liaison with the crematorium) or the crematorium directly and ask them why.
