OUR STORY
My own journey into the world of pet cremation began under the heaviest of circumstances—losing my horse, Turbo, seven years too young. In the years that followed, I had to navigate that same painful process for three beloved cats and two dogs.
Through every one of those losses, a difficult pattern emerged. While the physical process of cremation was completed and my pets were returned to me, something crucial was always missing: my grief was never truly addressed.
I was exhausted by having to explain my situation to a different staff member every time I called with a simple question. There was a profound lack of empathy, and in the end, I felt like I was just another number—just another paycheck in a corporate system.
That experience stayed with me, and it is the entire reason Sage & Arlo exists today.

​
At Sage & Arlo, we know that saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest things a family will ever do. In those moments of heavy grief, you don't need a cold, clinical process. You need warmth, clarity, and a consistent voice on the other end of the phone.
Founded by myself, Jessica, and supported by my partner Ross, we are a proudly local, family-operated service based right here in the Jimboomba area. We created this service because we believe that every pet deserves a dignified, gentle farewell, and every family deserves to feel completely supported and heard along the way.
