Private Cremation
Private cremation means that your pet is placed PRIVATELY into the cremation chamber. The cremated remains of your loving pet are then returned to you in a urn of your choosing.
Private cremation services includes the Private cremation process, placing the cremated remains in an urn of your choosing and your pet can be then picked up at our facility. A certificate of cremation is issued with every Private Cremation along with your pet being memorialized on our website with a memorial tribute photo for two years.
Cremains are usually available to be returned within 24 hours or less of pet delivery. We are also available after-hours or for emergency service if needed for an additional fee of $50.
The Private cremation fee includes a basic urn for your pet, however, if you wish to purchase a more decorative urn for your family friend, see our Urns page on our website to view alternatives. If it is your intention to bring your beloved pet to us please call first to verify our presence in the building. If you want you may fill out and bring our Cremation Authorization/Release Form with you when you bring us your pet otherwise we will fill it out when you arrive for your appointment.
Communal Cremation is not offered at our facility and here is why.
Pet crematories that choose to do this type of cremation face logistical complications as for they have to wait to collect enough animals to warrant a cremation burn cycle. This means that your pet could be sitting in their freezer for days to weeks awaiting cremation while that pet crematory waits to collect enough animals to justify running a cremation burn cycle. I respect your pets remains and choose not to do this to them.
If you do not want your pets cremains returned to you, I will still cremate them privately and dispose of the cremains for you. This is why the cost is the same whether you want cremains returned or not.
The Cremation Process
Cremation is a very clean and rapid method of reducing ones remains.
During the cremation process, your pet is gently laid on the hearth of the crematory, and the door is shut. The door remains shut until the cremation is complete. Cremation of an average-sized pet takes about 1-2 hours. When the process is complete, the cremains are gathered and handled with care as they are processed.
Cremains are then placed into an urn of the owner’s choice and packaged for return to the family if a Private Cremation is chosen.
