Gentle, private pet cremation for Southport families, with your pet cared for from the first call until the day they come home to you.
Perkins Goodbye Hugs provides Southport pet cremation services for families along the southern Brunswick coast, from Southport and Oak Island through Caswell Beach, St. James, and Boiling Spring Lakes. We are a family owned pet aftercare provider, and every pet in our care is treated the way we would want our own treated.
Southport sits a good way down the coast from our facility, and we make that drive regularly. Our Southport pet cremation service offers pickup from your home or your veterinary clinic for a fee, and bringing your pet to us yourself is always free of charge. Because of the distance, calling a day or a few days ahead makes a real difference.
Many families here have had the same companion for a very long time. Take whatever time you need. We will explain the options plainly and let you decide when you are ready.
Every family grieves differently, so we keep the choices simple and explain them plainly. Take whatever time you need.

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 near the waterfront, houses on Oak Island, and local clinics. Pickup carries a fee, and you are welcome to bring your pet to our Wilmington facility yourself at no charge. Southport is a longer run for us, so calling a day or a few days ahead helps a great deal.
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.
