Importing Pet Ashes
Keeping a pet’s ashes can serve as a reminder of the bond you shared, offering closure in moments of grief.

The application fee is non-refundable and cost a total of CI$50 (US $61.00) which should be paid to the Cayman Islands Government. Wire transfers and personal international cheques are not accepted. Alongside the fee and completed form, you will also need to provide a postmortem health certificate or letter from the animals Veterinarian, stating that the animal did not die from any contagious disease. The cause of death must also be clearly listed on the certificate or letter. Certification (or other acceptable form of proof) detailing that your pet was created from the cremation service used should be submitted. Please also note that scattering the deceased animals remains without permission from the DOA is illegal.
