What to do with Your Pet’s Remains

People can form as strong a bond with their pets as they do with other members of their family.  So, just as with their human family members, they have the option to bury or cremate the pet when they pass away.  More and more people are choosing cremation so they can keep their pet’s remains with them.

Urns

Most crematories will have a selection of urns, some more extensive than others.  There is a wide variety to choose from including metal, wood, marble, and cloisonne all in varying shapes and designs.  The weight of the pet will determine the size of the urn you will need for their remains.  Prices vary according to size and the type of urn selected.

One of the things we have found out at Paws Whiskers and Wags is that when you lose your pet, it truly is like losing a treasured family member. Your breath shortens, your heart races and a deep sadness overtakes you.  If you’ve never had a pet for several years, then there is no way for you to understand.

If you’re one of those people who might try to comfort a friend or coworker by saying, “It’s only a dog” or “You can replace it, “ then likely you have never enjoyed a deep relationship with a pet.  How can you replace someone who has slept on your bed from when you were two to almost ten? How can you find anyone who licks your tears, until you start to laugh, without wanting anything back?
