Basics You Should Expect When Selecting A Mortuary Of Pets
Individuals who have domesticated animals may grow to be attached to them after sometime. To this end, when the animal dies, they may want to have it disposed off in a respectful manner. A pet mortuary can come in handy in this regard. Knowing a few things will help you find a good facility, whose services you can use.
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.
Think about how the animal will be taken to the facility. In most instances, the company will provide a cloth, which can be used to wrap the dead animal during transportation. You can also provide a soft fabric for wrapping the animal.
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.
The company can help you memorialize the animal. This is by using a part of the animal to create a memorabilia. They can also use a picture of the pet to make ornaments or 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.
