Your Concerns & Questions
Why choose pet cremation over pet burial?
How to care for your pet after they die is a very personal choice. Choosing cremation give you the option of having your pet’s cremated remains with you where ever you go, or scattering them in a place that is of special significance to you. Some important things to consider are whether or not you’ll move from one location to another. If your plans include relocating at any point or moving after retirement, then you’ll probably want to consider cremation so that you can take the urn with you. There may also be laws that exist in your area that can prevent you from choosing home burial, so please check into your specific city and state laws.
Can you guide me in making my pet’s cremation urn or keepsake special and unique to him/her?
The personalization of your cremation urn or keepsake will truly make it as unique as your relationship was with your pet. From an inscription on an urn or jewelry piece to the special verse on a marker, your sentimental words will create a true reflection of the love that you have for your special pet. Hearing other friends and family member's stories is certainly a wonderful way to reflect and pay tribute to your pet and get everyone involved in honoring their life. Consider thinking about your pet's entire life, more than just their name and their birth date (or if you don’t know their birth date, use the gotcha date) and death date. Reflect on thoughts of your pet and what makes you smile. Maybe it's a nickname, or a saying that really sums up your pet, such as "Our Big Teddy Bear.” It may also be a photo or a piece of artwork that represents a love of your pet. Each urn or keepsake is uniquely different and personalization options change with each style. Be creative and have fun with the design. If your creative mind dreams it, don’t be shy in asking if it can be customized!
