Why You Should Conduct Pet Cremation Pre-Planning

By William Russell


Cremation is a common way to handle the remains of a cherished pet. Many cities, such as Maryland, have the appropriate facilities. Often these businesses will handle all aspects of the process. Their representatives will often pick up remains, conduct cremation, and place the ashes in a special memorial box or urn. Similar to a human funeral and cremation, it is also possible and advisable to conduct pet cremation pre-planning. This process ensure that the difficult and expensive decisions are made ahead of time, while the owners are thinking clearly. Making these decisions while grieving is not advisable, as it could result in later regrets or expensive payments.

It is important to not make significant financial decisions when we are upset. Often, those who are under duress are taken advantage of. Taking care of these things before the pet passes ensures that the proper decisions are made and that the best company is chosen to handle the process.

This process also allows you to choose the services and items that you want ahead of time. You may want a simple urn or box, a memorial stone, or another keepsake item. The facility you choose will have these items, and you can choose a special one that may not be there if you had to pick at the last minute.

Pre-planning can also lock in rates that were cheaper before the pet passes away. Owners that choose to arrange their plans while their pet is still young and healthy will save even more. Some companies offer niches in their own pet cemeteries, which can also be purchased well in advance.

Sometimes it is allowable that pet cremains be interred with the owner's in a niche. Ask the company if this is a possibility. Some pet owners adore the idea of being laid to rest beside their companion animal. A pets ashes could also be placed in the owner's casket.

Commonly, a company will also be able to create memorial keepsakes, such as nose prints or paw prints. This are often given to the owners as a remembrance. They can also be made into pendants. The company must know about this beforehand so that the print is taken before cremation.

A memorial service is something that pet owners also like. This could include the scattering of your pet's ashes. This can be arranged by the company. They may print cards for you with the pet's name, picture, and a special poem. The company could also provide silk or real flowers, scatter tubes, and books about grieving for children and adults. Special music can be chosen that can help soothe the minds of those present. This all can be done in advance.

Make sure you make many memories with your pet while she or he is alive. This is useful for planning memorial services and also helps grieving loved ones remember their pet fondly. Many pets live long and full lives, truly loved by their human companions. Make those memories while they are here. After they are gone, having preplanned their cremation and memorial, you will be able to grieve without the undue stress of lingering decisions. Your pet and you deserve no less.
