Pet Cremation Questions And Answers

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.
