Not all pet insurance plans cover euthanasia or cremation, in some cases coverage is an option for which you’ll pay extra. Some plans only reimburse for euthanasia or cremation, not both, or may not cover your entire cost, leaving you to pay the remainder. For example a policy might only reimburse you up to a maximum amount of £100 for costs related to euthanasia and cremation.

When there is cover to help you with end-of-life costs for your pet, it varies significantly across pet insurance companies.
