Preparing for the loss of your companion is very important. It can help the process of grieving for you and your family and will make saying goodbye less stressful and painful. Pets are part of the family and every family is unique, you and your pet deserve to choose how this meaningful moment will go. Here is a list of things to plan because they will have an impact after your companion's passing.:
Deciding between cremation, at-home burial, pet cemetery burials, or aquamation.
Deciding if you want the ashes back with the cremation, a paw print, a jewel with the ashes, etc. Many options are available and you can discuss with your veterinarian or the crematorium what the different options are. More about this on our honoring your pet page.
Check with your city what the laws are regarding burials on your residence. Our burying a pet document can help you.
Understand reasons why proper containment and burial regulations matter: see our blog on pentobarbital toxicity.
