What To Know When Choosing A Pet Mortuary
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.
Know how the funeral or cremation exercise will be carried out. You can have the animal buried in an individual or mass grave. If you want to have the remains of the animal returned to you, then an individual cremation is best. If you do not want the remains then opt for a mass 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.
