Cats & Dogs Animal Hospital in Long Beach, CA, offers sensitive and respectful pet cremation services to help you honor the memory of your cherished companion.
Understanding Pet Cremation
Pet cremation is a process that allows you to preserve the remains of your pet in a meaningful way. This method provides a respectful alternative to burial and offers various options to commemorate your pet’s life.
The Cremation Process
Our pet cremation process is conducted with the utmost respect and care for your pet’s remains. It begins with the preparation of your pet, where any personal items are gently removed. Next, your pet is placed in a cremation chamber where high temperatures are applied to reduce the remains to ash. This process is designed to be both thorough and respectful, ensuring that your pet is treated with dignity throughout.
After cremation, the ashes are carefully collected and can be returned to you. You will then have the option to choose from a range of memorialization options to honor your pet’s memory in a meaningful way.
Our Cremation Process, Step-by-Step:
- Preparation: After the decision is made, your pet’s remains are prepared for cremation. This includes ensuring that all personal items are removed.
- Cremation: Your pet is placed in a cremation chamber where heat is applied to reduce the remains to ash. The process is conducted with the utmost care and respect.
- Return of Ashes: Following the cremation, the ashes are collected and can be returned to you. You have the option to choose a memorial urn or other keepsake.
Types of Pet Cremation Services
At Cats & Dogs Animal Hospital, we offer several cremation options to suit your preferences:
Private Cremation
In a private cremation, your pet is cremated individually. This ensures that you receive only your pet’s ashes, allowing for a personal and meaningful remembrance.
Communal Cremation
Communal cremation involves the cremation of multiple pets together. While this option is more affordable, the ashes are not returned to you. It provides a respectful way to handle your pet’s remains without the need for individual urns.
Memorialization Options
We offer a range of memorialization options to help you honor your pet’s memory:
- Custom Urns: Choose from a variety of urns to hold your pet’s ashes, including those made from wood, ceramic, and biodegradable materials.
- Clay Paw Prints: Preserve a lasting memory of your pet with a custom clay paw print keepsake.
