The Urn Review

When the time comes to say good-bye to your pet, who do you turn to? Many people go their trusted Pet Care Provider to hopefully guide them through the emotional decision making proses.

Know your options! There are three main categories, mass cremation, individual cremation, and private cremation.

Mass or communal cremation – As the name implies, this is the cremation of many animals at one time. After the cremation session is completed the ashes are gathered and disposed of by the crematory company. This option is the least expensive for the pet owner and is a sanitary and decent way to dispose of the pet, if retaining the ashes is not desired.

Individual Cremation – Individual cremation is a source of much confusion for pet owners. With this option the ashes that are returned to the pet owner are the ashes of their beloved pet only. There may be several pets cremated at one time but each pet is tagged with a metal tag and placed in there own metal tray. After the cremation proses the ashes from each tray are bagged for return to the pet owner.

Private Cremation/ Witnessed Private Cremation – provides the option for the pet to to be cremated entirely alone within the cremation chamber,ensuring that there are no other ashes mixed in with the singular pets ashes.

For those who have decided to have the cremains of their pet returned to them, they must next look at the wide array of pet cremation urns available today. Hope this has been helpful. Bruce
