I did this with my Search and Rescue partner after she died from cancer.
I'm not sure what you mean by "the ins and outs", but you have several options.
1- You can get an urn and keep it on display. There are even custom urns available, specifically for pets. Some artists will want to know about your dog before making the urn for you.
2- You can disperse the ashes. Check with local authorities regarding the legalities of this. There are rules in many areas covering this.
3- You can bury the ashes. In most states, it is only legal to bury a pet in your backyard after it has been cremated (although these laws are rarely enforced).

I have 4 deceased Newfies in pine urns on my mantle. I would not do anything different, and plan to have all the next Newfies cremated too.
Not really sure what the question is.
In "private" cremation, they cremate YOUR dog by itself, not together with other pets.
Mass cremation is where the cremate many animals together.
Ashes are usually returned in a "temporary" type container, and then you can go all kinds of places to get a special urn. Look online and there are TONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The place that does the cremation usually has catalogs and examples of ones you can order through them.

It depends on the company that you use and how big they are. The one we use at my clinic costs about $100 to $200 depending on the size of the dog. You can either choose an urn to have the ashes returned in (a wooden box or bronze or a specialty urn) or you can buy your own and have them put the ahses in that, and have the name engraved on it. Ours returns the ashes within a few days, sometimes the very next day. You can do whatever you want with the urn, you can bury it, put it on your mantle or a shelf of just store it away for safe keeping.

Hi, I work in an emergency vets in UK. For private cremation here ashes are usually returned within 10 days to the veterinary practice you attended for collection. Payment is made to the veterinary practice who dealt with your pet. Ashes here are either returned in a wooden casket or scattering container. Sorry to hear about your loss.

I had 2 dogs cremated privately and returned to me in their private urns with a card. For both dogs it took about 10 days.I'm not sure if this is what you want to know or not.
My condolences to you.
