There are so many options available to you when your pet has sadly passed away which you may not be aware of. It can be incredibly over whelming to think about it at the time of your beloved companion passing. It is best to have a think and explore what options are available to you prior to their passing. This of course is not always possible if your pet dies suddenly, but is definitely worth a think about in preparation. Please do ask your veterinary practice what options are available to you. If in doubt contact Cherry Tree Pet Crematorium who will be happy to help you.
Memorials
There are many memorial options. The main ones include fur clippings, paw prints either an impression paw print in clay, or an ink paw print. Ink paw prints can be scanned for cards, pictures, engravings or a tattoo. The paw prints can be done by yourselves prior to your pets passing, but it can be tricky to do. Cherry Tree Pet Crematorium offers this once the pet has passed away. This eases any potential stress to your pet, especially if they do not like their feet being touched!
What are the options once they have passed away?
There are a few options for you to choose
Home burial: You may bury your pet in the UK, but not in rented accommodation, public places, near a water source or an area that floods. You must also check with your vet that the remains are not hazardous (i.e., if your pet had received chemotherapy or certain controlled drugs). You also must ensure that the the hole is dug at least 3 feet deep and that they cannot be dug back up by wildlife.
Cremation: The other main choice is to have your pet cremated at a pet crematorium.
The two options are either a communal cremation which is where your pet will be cremated with other pets, and you will not receive their ashes back. With an individual cremation your pets ashes will be returned to you. If you have a communal cremation it is an idea to check with your vet or pet crematorium what happens with the ashes afterwards. At Cherry Tree Pet Crematorium the ashes are scattered in the beautiful setting of Cherry Tree in front of the receptions rooms over looking the house and fields.
