For some reason cremation has long been
surrounded by an air of mystery. Yet, there is nothing mysterious about cremation.
We believe that the subject of cremation of a pet should be fully explained.
These days cremation is endorsed by many of our foremost thinkers and has the
support and approval of an ever-increasing number of people of all faiths and
walks of life.
Cremation is simply a hastening of natural process by a clean, sanitary, and entirely modern method. A very intense flame is utilized to return the body to its original elements in a very clean manner.
After cremation the calcified bone fragments of the remains are carefully gathered
and sealed in a basic urn along with the identification
tag. Bronze, marble, and wood urns are also available at an additional
charge.
The cremated remains are returned to the pet owner, veterinary facility, or
scattered.
