Just as we plan for our mortality, it’s wise to consider the future of our beloved pets. An end-of-life plan for a pet can provide comfort and closure during a difficult time. By pre-planning, you can ensure your pet receives a dignified farewell honouring their memory.

What is a Pet Funeral Plan?

A pet funeral plan is a detailed arrangement for your pet’s end-of-life care. This plan can include various services, such as:

Euthanasia: Whether your pet’s end-of-life is in a clinic or if your vet will do home visits, planning allows your pet to pass peacefully surrounded by loved ones. If they are old or unwell or even if there is a terrible accident, knowing what to do beforehand will help ease the trauma in the moment.

Body Transportation: Vets and welfares typically arrange transportation of animals to the crematorium. Legacy pet recommends that you take your pet’s body to the nearest vet. We can do collections under special circumstances at a fee.

Cremation Options: Private cremation allows you to keep your pet’s ashes, while communal cremation involves cremating multiple pets together.

Memorial Services: A memorial service can be held to honour your pet’s life. This can involve family and friends sharing memories. You can arrange with Legacy Pet Crematorium to be present while your pet is cremated and then take their ashes home with you.
