What To Know When Finding A Mortuary For Pets
For some people, a pet is an important part of their family. Such individuals may want to honor the relationship they have with the animal even after it has died. A pet mortuary offers a selection of services that can help in the proper preservation and disposal of the animal. There are various factors to be on the lookout for when picking a service provider.
Inquire whether the company offers pick-up services. Most mortuaries work in liaison with animal hospitals to pick up dead animals. If the animal dies in hospital, ask the hospital if they are affiliated with any service provider, who will pick up the remains. If the animal passes on in your house, call the company directly and ask them to pick up the animal.
The method of transportation matters. Ask the company which mode of transportation they will use and if they only transport the animals or any other things. Most animal owners prefer to have the animal wrapped in a cloth, rather than having it dumped into a plastic bag.
Choose the internment method that you are most comfortable with. The animal can either be buried or cremated individually or in mass grave. If you want the ashes of the animal returned to you, opt for individual cremation. If you do not want the ashes back, then mass cremation will be suitable.
You can come up with creative ways to remember the animal. You can request the facility to give you a part of the animal, so that you can keep it as a souvenir. This may include the skin or any other part of the body.
When choosing a funeral home, find out what their costs are. The amount charged usually depends on the type and size of animal you have. It also depends on the type of service you want, be it cremation or a burial and any other additional stuff you may have to buy, like an urn.
