Pet Tribute Info

Choosing to have a Funeral for your Pet is a very personal decision that should include your family members and those who loved him/her.  A pet funeral can be as simple as a grave side service, or it could be an elaborate formal service.  Planning and participating in a  Pet Funeral can bring great satisfaction to those w ho mourn the loss of a cherished companion animal.  Such a service can help make the death more real to grievers, and can give the family members the opportunity to express their feelings about the lost pet.  It enables everyone to reflect on and acknowledge the important role the animal played in their lives.

A Pet Funeral is generally held within just a few days of death and may consist of a viewing, a formal service and a brief rite at the grave side.  It can include just family and friends who cherished the departed, or may include a religious officiator like a minister or Rabbi.  Some find comfort in a religious ritual, finding support and meaning in the words that had not they had not been able to express before.  The willingness to openly acknowledge and express a family’s greif, and turn to a religious traditon can help bring much needed closure.   As part of the Pet Funeral, the beloved pet is laid to rest in the family backyard or in a pet cemetery.  A lovely Pet Casket is a beautiful addition to any Pet Funeral and a wonderful way to intern your lost loved one.
