Reasons To Participate In Pet Cremation Pre-Planning

By William Russell


When a beloved pet dies, cremation is often conducted. There are pet cremation facilities is many cities, including Maryland. These companies can handle all of the details, often including retrieving the remains, conducting the cremation, and returning the cremains in an attractive urn or box. Often, when a pet is older or ill, the owners are aware that the pet will pass away. Pet cremation pre-planning can help animal owners make important decisions beforehand, so that when the time comes and they are overwhelmed with grief, the preparations are already taken care of.

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.

Planning ahead can also save money. If the planning is done long before the pet dies, the rates are often locked it and remain at the lower rate, regardless of inflation. Some companies have cremation niches available, and purchasing them in advance ensures that one will be available.

It is even possible in certain areas for the cremains of both pets and their owners to be interred in adjacent niches or in the same niche. Consult with the company to determine if this is possible. You could then be laid to rest alongside your beloved pet.

Ask the company if they create paw and nose prints for the owners. This is often created as a keepsake and given to the owner or made into jewelry or some other kind of memento. Make sure the company you are dealing with knows ahead of time so that this can be done before the cremation begins.

You may also choose to have a memorial service or ashes scattering for your pet. A company can also arrange these. Having this planned out ahead of time saves last minute decisions. Often, the company you make arrangements with can create cards with the pet's name, provide flowers, and also scatter tubes to hold the ashes and assist with the scattering. They might also be able to provide special music and books about pet death for children and grieving adults.

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.
