When the euthanasia procedure is over, how do I choose between communal cremation and individual cremation of my pet?

There are two types of cremation that you can choose for your pet. 

  • A communal, group cremation means that your pet is going to be cremated with other pets and their ashes are scattered in the ocean. If you have many great memories of trips to the ocean with your pet, this might be a good option for you. It is also a good choice if you are uncomfortable keeping urns of cremains in your home. Many families who choose communal cremation feel they have their memories of the pet stored in a variety of photos.

  • If you select an individual cremation, your pet is cremated alone. You receive your pets cremains in an urn. You also receive a clay paw print of your pet. This is a very important option for many families. By having their pet’s cremains where they can see them, they feel close to their pet. This choice is also made because these families want to protect their pet during the cremation process.
