The death of a pet can be emotional and stressful. After all, you may consider your pet a part of your family, a friend, or a beloved companion.
The proper handling of your pet’s remains can help ease this pain. For many, this may include a pet cremation.
Many choose the professional pet cremation services offered by the privately-owned and operated crematory in the area at the Cremation Society of Northern Kentucky.
Here are some of the major reasons why cremation matters.
Provides Comfort
Knowing the remains of your pet will be properly and respectfully handled can bring great comfort to an owner. You can take solace in being able to dispose of cremains as you see fit or even to keep them in an urn.
Allows for Closure
Some may experience a sense of shock or numbness at the death of a pet, especially if the death was sudden. A cremation helps provide that final closure.
Offers Memorial and Final Services Options
A cremation allows for you to have a final or memorial service honoring the love and legacy of your pet. Following any services honoring your pet, you can decide to have ashes scattered in a favorite park, buried on your property or in a pet cemetery, or kept at home in a choice of urns.
What to Know About Pet Cremations
Types of Pets Generally Eligible for Cremation
Dogs and cats are the pets most commonly cremated, although reptiles and other pets may also be accommodated. Contact us for details.
Individual Cremations
Cremations involving a single animal will be more expensive than those involving a group cremation. Contact us to discuss the pros and cons of each.
Factors that May Impact Pricing
Pricing for cremation may be affected by the size of your pet. A very large dog, for example, may be more expensive than the cremation of a small cat.
You Have Choices
Following cremation, owners have an opportunity to select urns for cremains that can range from the modest to the extravagant. They can even be customized with photos and engravings. Biodegradable, eco-friendly urns are also available for burial.
Drop-off or Pick-up
You also have the choice of dropping off your pet or having it picked up at your location. It can take 10 to 14 days to get the cremains of your pet returned, depending on whether you have chosen a private or communal cremation.
