Pet companion cremation is a compassionate and respectful way to bid farewell to your beloved furry friend. It offers a gentle alternative to traditional burial, providing a dignified and environmentally friendly option for honouring your pet’s memory.
Return of Ashes Cremation: Your pet’s remains are cremated seperately, ensuring that their ashes are not mixed with those of other animals. The owner receives the pet’s ashes in a beautiful scatter box or in an urn of your choice.
Scattering Ashes: Many pet owners choose to scatter their pet’s ashes in a meaningful location, such as a favourite park, beach or garden.
Private Cremation: Pet owners can say goodbye and be present while their pet’s are cremated, taking their ash remains home with them.
Communal Cremation: Multiple beloved pets are cremated together at a lower cost. The ash remains are disposed according to municipal regulations. Owners may honour their pets memory with a garden stone or silver jewellery.
Dignified and Respectful: Cremation offers a compassionate and dignified way to honour your pet’s memory.
