11/18/2018 0 Comments What to Ask In Pet Cremation ServicesPet cremations are carried out using the same techniques are human cremation. The process uses exposure to high heat to transform your pet’s remains to their basic element, resulting in a smaller quality of ashes or “cremains” (cremated remains). Many times veterinarians may feel awkward offering Sunshine Coast pet cremation services with clients after they have euthanized their pet. If they have had a long term relationship with you and your pet, the loss is one they experience and affects them too. There may be a designated person in their practice who works with grieving clients. In your sad and emotional state, you will be given a binder to look through and ask to pick out a package you would like to purchase for your pet’s cremation. Your veterinarian clinic is not offering this service to you out of the goodness of their heart. The commercial pet crematory sells the cremation packages to the veterinary practice at a wholesale price.
Private Cremation Private Cremation means that your pet will be kept separate from other animals at all times during the cremation process. The ashes, also, will be kept separate and identified on the urn. This is a dignified process and assures your pet’s care at all times. Private cremation costs are determined by the pet’s weight category. Communal Cremation General or Communal cremation implies that your pet is cremated along with other animals and the ashes are not separated and not returned to you. Your veterinarian can help you make arrangement for this service. Each crematory has their own policy as to the disposition of ashes from communal cremation. As a concerned pet parent, you have the right to know about the aftercare that is provided for your pet so you can make a determination if the Sunshine Coast pet cremation services offered are acceptable to you. Here are some concerns you need to know about the vets and cremation services they offer: 1) Some people cannot imagine how their pet being handled in this manner, but this is the way bodies are handled at almost all veterinarians, unless you make arrangements for other services yourself. Some facilities do not have a morgue to store pets in. 2) If you opt for a private cremation, what if any type of identification is placed on your pet’s body, if any, to insure that the ashes you receive back are your pet’s. 3) An annual open house may be held for veterinary staff to attend, but what about the days when actual cremation is occurring? Can your veterinary practice guarantee that the commercial pet crematory they use is not scooping and returning ashes to clients based on the approximate size of the pet? 4) What is the typical turnaround time for you to get your pet’s cremains back? 5) If you are purchasing a private cremation, how does the clinic know the pet is cremated alone in the cremation unit? Pet cremation services often depend on where you live. Many cities have pet crematoriums that contract with veterinarian clinics. If you live in a very tiny town, it’s possible that the crematorium takes care of both humans and pets, but they likely have two separate designated areas for them. Check with your vet to see who they use.
