Have you considered how you will care for your beloved companion after its passing? Pet cremation presents one option.
What is Pet Cremation?
Pet cremation is a procedure that reduces the body of a pet to ash through intense heat. Many select this practice to manage their pet’s body following death. It gives them the option to keep, spread, or bury the ashes.
Preparing the Pet
The procedure generally starts with readying the pet. This can include taking off personal articles, such as collars or tags, that the owner wants to retain.
The Cremation Process
Once prepped, the pet is put inside a special cremation container. This equipment is designed to hit very high temperatures, commonly between 1500 to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit.
The cremation process itself generally needs up to 1 hour. Duration depends on the size of the pet. During this period, the body goes down to bone pieces and ash.
After Cremation: Handling the Remains
Following the cremation, the cremains cool prior to more handling. Workers then crush bone pieces into a more delicate ash form, known as cremains. This provides consistency and suitability for different memorial options.
During this phase, any metal objects, for example, surgical fixes or identification tags, get removed.
Pet Identification Procedures
To make sure owners get the proper ashes, many crematories utilize ID systems during the whole practice.
After workers handle the ashes, they are placed in a container or urn selected by you. Afterward, they return them to you, many times with a certificate of cremation.
Choosing a Reputable Crematory
Pet cremation gives a respectful method to care for a pet’s body, providing options for remembrance and closure. It is important to find a good pet crematory that values sympathy and professionalism to make sure the practice is managed with respect and care.
