Basics To Expect When Selecting A Mortuary For Pets
A lot of people treasure their pets. They consider them to be an important part of their family. That is why when the animal dies, they may want to have it disposed off properly. You can utilize the services of a pet mortuary, to ensure that the animal gets a proper send off. A number of issues will come in handy when deciding which company to hire.
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.
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.
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.
