Basics You Should Learn 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.
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.
The costs charged by a funeral home varies. This largely depends on which services you want, the animal that you are having interred and which disposal method you go for. Ask the company if there are any other extra charges that you may have to foot.
