Aftercare Cremation Options

Aftercare

After making the difficult decision to euthanize your pet.  You must now decide on the care your pet will receive after its passing  There are many options such as home burial, general cremation, private cremation, pet cemetery burials, or aquamation.  

We work with locally owned Cremation and Memorial companies to provide the following services. All services include making all arrangements and providing transportation for your pet.  Here is information regarding the various post euthanasia options.

• Communal Cremation does not provide your pets ashes back. Pets are cremated communally and their remains are scattered at sea once a month as a final farewell.

• Private Cremation allows you to receive your pet’s ashes back. Pets are cremated in their own individual compartments. Remains are returned to the owner in a cedar urn. A handmade paw print, personalized certificate of cremation and pet loss resources are included with this package. Special order urns are also available upon request. Please visit Terrybear for options on special order urns.  When your urn is ready, your pet will be hand delivered to you personally.

• Self Home Burial is permitted some locations and differs by County.  Before considering burial, please check with your local codes and ordinances. Many places do not allow home burial.  The Farewell Pet Website can help you learn more about the laws in your state.

• Aquamation uses water instead of fire in the cremation process.  It yields more of your pet remains that is returned to you.  Please inquire and we can provide you more information about this process.

If you would like to work with a specific crematory, please let us know so we can make alternative arrangements directly with your company of choice.
