Losing a pet can be incredibly hard. It is therefore understandable that owners need as much time as they require to be able to grieve and remember their loved one.
There are many things to consider upon the passing of a family pet, and while much time spent during such an event will be focused on adjusting and grieving for such a loss, practical arrangements will need to be made to ensure that a cat or dog is given a memorial that is both appropriate and practical for their owner.The cost of handling a pet’s passing can vary depending upon the type of service or memorial that you feel is most appropriate. While some pet owners will prefer to have their loved ones laid to rest, others will be keen to opt for cremation. Handling a pet’s passing is not an easy process – and it goes without saying that a grieving owner can well do without the additional stress of having to count the cost or effectiveness of their memorial. Pet owners choose cremation for various reasons. Many owners choose cremation so they may keep their pet’s ashes at home in a ceremonial urn or casket. Some wish to scatter the ashes along a favourite walk, or somewhere comforting and familiar in the garden.
Some owners want something simple and don’t need their pet’s ashes returned. This is known as a shared (communal) cremation. This is usually a very cost effective option, However, some owners feel uncomfortable with cremation, and prefer to honour their pet in an entirely different way.
Burials are still a popular choice for grieving pet owners as they will allow them to be able to attend a memorial for their loved one – this can allow them to grieve at their own pace. They can visit their pet when they feel emotionally and mentally able to do so. The choice between burial and cremation depends entirely upon the wishes of the owner – and while neither option is right nor wrong, we at Quietus Vet believe that you should never feel forced into making a decision regarding the honouring of your pet’s memory.
