One of the most common problems that occurs after a pet passed away and has been cremated is the owner is left wondering what they should do with their pet’s ashes.
This is understandable because, cremation is a reminder that the pet has passed and most people are left with the reminder of that pets passing when they see those ashes.
Thankfully, there are a variety of things that can be done with a pets ashes including:
PUT ASHES IN A PIECE OF JEWELRY
You can take a piece of your pet with you wherever you go when you place a bit of its ashes into a piece of jewelry. Check you local jewelry store for rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, or any other piece of jewelry you can think of that can hold some of the "cremashes" of your pet. It can be a piece that is pet-themed, or something that is less obvious where only you now that you have are carrying your pet's memory with you at all times.
BURY YOUR PET IN ITS FAVORITE PLACE
Did your dog have a favorite place in the yard to spin and spin and spin and finally lie down for a nap? Maybe your cat had a favorite window to sit in to gaze outside. Either of these places would be a good site to lay your pet to rest. My dog dug herself a little "den" in the crook of a tree's roots in the back yard. That is where her remains will be buried so she can forever be in her favorite spot. Under the window where my cat loves to sit and watch the birds will be its final resting place when it's his time. Maybe your pet loved the beach, or going to the country. Burial on public lands may be legal in your area, just check prior to breaking out the shovel.
DISPLAY YOUR PET IN YOUR HOME
The boxes that contain the remains of my pets that have been cremated at Louisiana Pet Crematory are quite beautiful. So much so, they are worthy of display in the home. A box containing the ashes of your beloved pet can adorn a shelf, a dresser, even on the mantle.

Should You Grieve After Losing A Pet? Yes
Depending on the breed of your pet, you may end up spending 10 years, or longer with them and as with any human, the reality is that grieving is a natural part of processing loss.
Depending on the breed of your pet, you may end up spending 10 years, or longer with them and as with any human, the reality is that grieving is a natural part of processing loss.
Some people may think that their pet is “just a dog” or “it’s just a cat” and try to bypass the grieving process in favor of moving on with their lives. Sadly, this is something that pet owners shouldn’t do because it makes it difficult for the owner to process the raw emotions that they will feel after the loss of their pet.
The best thing to do is to be open to the grieving process following the loss of a pet and to also have a proper way to memorialize them following their loss.
Pet Cremation Helps With The Grieving Process
With pet cremation, an owner can properly memorialize their pet because they can keep their pets cremated remains in an urn in their home. This enables the pet owner to effectively still have a beloved pet “with them” so that they can process the loss of the pet while moving on with their life.
If your pet is close to the end of their life right now, the best thing that you can do is to consider pet cremation so that you can be ready to dispose of your pet’s final remains in a dignified manner.

Make Sure You Have A Support System In Place After Losing A Pet
Is your pet approaching the end of their life? If so, one of the most important things that you should do is make sure that you have a support system in place after your pet passes away.
Is your pet approaching the end of their life? If so, one of the most important things that you should do is make sure that you have a support system in place after your pet passes away.
A support system is important because depending on the breed of your pet, it’s possible that they may have spent years with you and you’re going to need to process their loss after they pass away.
Who Should Be In Your Support System?
The good thing about having a support system in place following the loss of your pet is that your support system doesn’t have to be a large network of people, it can be one or two trusted friends that you can turn to for emotional support after your pet passes away.
Once you have a support system in place, you will be able to “process” the loss of your pet by having someone that you can talk with about that loss rather than keeping those emotions bottled up and handling them all yourself.
Keep in mind that if your pet spends years of your life with you it’s going to take time to process that loss, just like you would process the loss of a human family member, so it’s better to take the time to think about who you will be approaching for emotional support after your pet has passed away.
How Will You Dispose Of Your Pets Final Remains?
After deciding on your emotional support system following the loss of your pet, the next step is to decide on how you will dispose of your pet’s final remains.
Will you choose pet cremation or burial? Although it may seem easier to bury your pet in your backyard, so that they will be close by, the reality is that most cities don’t allow pet burial so it’s best to consider pet cremation, especially if you want to not break any state or local laws.

Pet Cremation Questions And Answers
Pet cremation is one of the most popular methods for disposing of a pet’s final remains when they pass away because it costs about half as much as burial and cremation also enables a pet owner to keep the final remains of their pet with them in their home.
Is your pet approaching the end of their life and you’re trying to decide between pet cremation and burial?
We understand that during this difficult time you have questions about what’s the best option for your pets remains, this is why in this blog post we will cover some of the most common pet cremation questions and answers.
Question #1 – What Is Pet Cremation?
Pet cremation is one of the most popular methods for disposing of a pet’s final remains when they pass away because it costs about half as much as burial and cremation also enables a pet owner to keep the final remains of their pet with them in their home.
Pet cremation is also more effective than burial because most counties don’t allow pet owners to bury their pet’s final remains in their backyards and it keeps a pet owner from breaking any city or county laws.
Question #2 – What Should You Consider Before Choosing A Pet Cremation Service
The most important thing that you should consider when choosing a pet cremation service is to verify how your pet’s final remains will be cremated.
Every pet cremation service offers owners the option to have their pet’s final remains cremated with other pets (communal pet cremation), or private pet cremation, so you should choose the right option for you before moving forward with pet cremation.
Question #3 – How Does Pet Cremation Work?
Pet cremation works much the same way as human cremation does. If your pet dies at your vet’s office, they will ask you how you want to dispose of your pet’s final remains and cremation will be one of those options.
If you choose to have your pet cremated, your vet will most likely have an agreement with a local pet cremation service, like Paw to Paw Pet Cremation, and will transport your pets remains to that facility.
Once your pets remain have arrived at the pet crematory, their remains will stay in cold storage for up to 5 days until it’s cremated.
The average pet cremation service uses flame-based cremation; this means that they will use high heat to dispose of your pet’s final remains.
Depending on the size of your pet, the entire cremation process can take between 30 minutes, and two hours. After your pets remains are cremated and processed, they will be placed in a bag then if you’ve chosen an urn, the remains will be placed in that urn and given to you.

What To Do If Your Pet Dies At Home
Every year, thousands of pets around the world die in the homes that they may have been living in for their entire lives.
Every year, thousands of pets around the world die in the homes that they may have been living in for their entire lives.Sadly, most pet owners never take the time to think about how they're going to handle the loss of their pets, especially as their pets get older and it’s obvious that the pet is slowing down. This is why in this article we will provide you with tips on what to do if you own a “senior pet” that is getting close to the end of its life.
Tip #1 - Decide On Burial Or Cremation
The first thing that you need to think about is to consider if you're going to have your pet buried or cremated.
If you live on a property that has plenty of land, you may want to consider burying your pet in your backyard, or somewhere on your property, but, you should also verify with the city or county where your home is located that you are legally allowed to do this.
Ideally, one of the easiest things that you can do once your pet passes away is to have the pet cremated.
Pet cremation is a hassle-free way to deal with your pet's final remains especially since you won't have to question if you are legally allowed to bury your pet in the backyard since environmental laws have changed over the last 20 years in many cities do not allow this.
Tip #2 - Make Your Pets Final Days Comfortable
Once you decide on pet burial or cremation, the next thing that you need to consider is how you're going to make your pet's final days comfortable at home.
Depending upon the breed and age of your pet, they may be in a lot of pain and require medication to keep them moving. Your goal should be to do everything that you can to make their final days comfortable by providing them with the recommended doses of medication from the vet, keeping them in a comfortable space, and surrounding them with their favorite things.
Ultimately, your pet is going to pass away, once they do, the next thing that you should do wrap them up in their favorite blanket, then contact your local veterinarian, or our company can easily come to your home to take your pets final remains away for cremation.
Tip #3 - Manage Your Grief
Last of all, but most important, besides having a contingency plan in place for dealing with your pets' final days at home, the next thing that you need to do is have a plan for how you're going to manage your grief after they pass away.
Remember that having a pet pass away is no different than having a friend or family member pas away. You have to make the effort to talk about the loss of your pet with your friends, family members, or trusted confidants because you never want to let that grief stay inside you, the most important thing that you should do is focus on talking about how you're feeling and take steps to deal with the grief constructively.
