What To Expect When Considering A Mortuary Of 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.
When the animal dies, you should find out if the company will pick up its remains. In most cases, the companies pick up animals from animal hospitals. However, if the animal dies at home, you can call the staff of the company to find out if they can pick it up from your house. Most companies operate throughout the day and night throughout the year.
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 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.
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.
