Losing a beloved pet is a heartbreaking experience, and finding the best way to lay them to rest can be an emotional and challenging decision. At A Peaceful Return To Eden, we understand the importance of honoring your pet's memory and are here to help guide you through the process of selecting the best burial option. Below, we’ll discuss your choices between pet cremation and a burial, ensuring you can make an informed choice that honors your furry friend's memory.
Pet Burial Services: A Traditional and Personalized Farewell
A Peaceful Return To Eden offers you a few options to consider when making arrangements for your pet, including a pet burial. Choosing a pet burial service offers a traditional and personalized way to honor and remember your companion. Many people find comfort in knowing where their pet is laid to rest and having a dedicated space to visit and pay their respects.
Opting for a home pet burial is a natural choice that aids many individuals in finding closure and navigating the grieving process. For those who choose this option, you can enhance the memorial by ordering headstones or other ornaments to designate the resting place. However, before proceeding with a home pet burial, it's important to consult with your township or municipality to understand and adhere to any guidelines or rules.
There might be city and county codes governing pet burials, and compliance with these regulations is essential. Verify the specific burial regulations with your township. Once you receive clearance and have identified a suitable location on your property, the next step is to prepare the site. The site should be at least 2 to 3 feet deep to prevent other animals from disturbing your pet and control the freeze/thaw cycle from unearthing them. Many individuals choose to plant a flowering bush or install a grave marker as a meaningful tribute to their beloved pet.
Pet Cremation: An Alternative Option for Flexibility and Mobility
Pet cremation has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its flexibility and environmentally friendly nature. It allows you to keep your pet's ashes with you, providing comfort in knowing they are always close. This option is especially appropriate for those who move frequently or prefer not to have a specific gravesite.
At A Peaceful Return To Eden, we provide respectful and dignified pet cremation services using state-of-the-art equipment. You can choose from a private animal cremation or a communal cremation service. With a private cremation, your pet is cremated individually in its own specially prepared cremation chamber, and its cremains are returned to you in an engraved, cherry wood box urn unless you have selected a different specialized vessel. Once you have your pet’s ashes, you can scatter them, bury them in your garden, or keep them in an urn in your home.
With a communal cremation, your furry friend is cremated along with other pets. The cremains are not returned but, instead, are gently scattered at the Pet Meadow Memorial Park. Many families will also choose memento items like ink, clay, framed paw prints, jewelry, or urns, which can be ordered from Pet Meadow.
