Basics You Should Know When Picking 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.

Know how the animal will be transported to the facility. This includes the type of vehicle used and what it will be wrapped in during transportation. The animal can be wrapped in a soft blanket or piece of cloth.

Choose the disposal method that you want. A cremation or burial can be done. A burial is appropriate if you cannot stand the thought of having the remains of the animal burned. You can request to have the ashes of the animal sent back to you, if you opt for a cremation.

If you want to memorialize the animal, you can have souvenirs made from its body parts. This includes its paws, bones or fur. You can also have photos of it taken and used to make jewelry.

How much the funeral home charges for its services matters. You will have to get in touch with the company to know how much you will have to pay. This is because charges mainly depend on the specific services you want. You can compare costs of different mortuaries to decide which one to use.
