The loss of a pet is a tragic event, whether anticipated or sudden. Owners facing the loss of their pet often find themselves overwhelmed and unprepared to handle the proper disposition of their beloved companion.

As pet owners, we form special bonds with our companions, so it is only natural that many of us wish to follow the human model of burial or cremation. Just as we pay tribute to a dear departed loved one, pet owners feel the need to honour the memory of a much-loved pet in the same way.

A popular choice for many pet owners is cremation since it provides a way to keep your pet near you. It also allows you to bury or scatter some of your pet’s ashes in your yard or a favourite place your pet enjoyed.
