Gentle, private pet cremation for Carolina Beach families, with your pet cared for from the first call until the day they come home to you.
Perkins Goodbye Hugs provides Carolina Beach pet cremation services for families across Pleasure Island, from Carolina Beach and Kure Beach up through Wilmington. We are a family owned pet aftercare provider, and every pet in our care is treated the way we would want our own treated.
Losing a pet is hard enough without wondering where they are or who is caring for them. That is why our Carolina Beach pet cremation service is built around one thing above all, keeping your pet safe and identified at every stage. We pick up from Carolina Beach homes and from local veterinary clinics, we bring your pet to our own facility in Wilmington, and we return them to you personally.
Whether your pet passed at home unexpectedly or your veterinarian is helping you plan ahead, you can call us directly. There is no wrong time to reach out and no obligation to decide anything on the phone.
Every family grieves differently, so we keep the choices simple and explain them plainly. Take whatever time you need.
Your pet is cremated alone and their ashes are returned to you. This is the option most Carolina Beach families choose when they want their pet home with them.

See keepsakesWe do not hand your pet off to a third party. Pickup, cremation, and return are all handled by us at our own Wilmington facility.
We pick up from homes and veterinary clinics throughout Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. Pickup carries a fee, and you are welcome to bring your pet to our Wilmington facility yourself at no charge. Either way, call as early as you can so we can plan the timing with you.
Call and ask anything. We will walk you through the options and timing plainly, and you can take as long as you need to decide.
If it helps to know a little more before you call, these pages cover who we are, how everything works, and the keepsakes families often choose.
Call and we will answer your questions and walk you through the options. If you would like us to come to you, try to call a day or a few days ahead so we can schedule the pickup. If you would rather write, send us a message and we will get back to you.
Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, Saturday 9am to 2pm. 6709 Netherlands Dr, Suite A, Wilmington, NC 28405.
