Why You Should Conduct Pet Cremation Pre-Planning

By William Russell


Cremation is a popular choice for many pet owners when their dear pet passes away. Most cities have pet cremation facilities, as does Maryland. These companies will take care of all of the little details, such as picking up the pet's remains, ensuring that cremation is completed, and then returning the ashes to the owner in a box or urn. Owners may know that a pet is going to die, such as if the animal is sick or ill. Pet cremation pre-planning helps owners make certain decisions before the pet dies, so that they are not faced with difficult decisions during that stressful time.

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.

Be sure to create special memories with your pet during their lives. Some of these you may want to include in the pet's memorial service. These remembrances also help grieving family members. A pet often lives a full, long life with their human companion. Once they are gone, grieving is important. If everything is already planned, the family can focus on grieving for the pet without being pressured into making expensive and difficult decisions. Your best deserves no less than the best.
