Pet Tribute Info

Many people wonder if they should cremate their beloved pet when they pass away.  For some who live in a big city and do not have a yard, burial may not be an option.  They want to have a personal tribute made and do what is best for their pet, but are not sure if cremation is the proper thing to do.

I would suggest talking to your favorite Veterinarian and ask him/her about cremation, and what steps and processes they take during cremation.  Find out how your loved one will be handled, before and after to put your mind at peace.  Becoming informed is usually the best way to make the right decisions.  Especially when it comes to sensitive issues such as this one.

Also,  plan and prepare before your loved one passes to have a Pet Cremation Urn ready for when you need it.  Usually your Vet will carefully place your pet’s ashes in a sealed bag and then in a velvet sack or even a temporary wooden Urn until you can get them home.   Then you can put the ashes  in the Personalized Pet Urn you have chosen to place on your mantle or bedside table.  If you prefer, you can even have your Vet put your pet’s ashes in your Urn.

There are many ways to personally memorialize your pet, and many ways to pay tribute to him/her.  You can have wooden Urns made with a portrait of your loved one on it, or can have your favorite Memorial Poem inscribe on it.  Some Urns have a place where you can insert a photograph of your lost pet.  Or, you can have a name plate inscribed with the name  and dates to place on Onyx or other type of pet urn.
