Cremation Options
Private Cremation
Losing a pet is hard enough without having to wonder whether or not your actual pet will be returned to you. You can rest assured that when we perform a private cremation, the entire process takes place individually. Your pet is the only one lovingly placed in the cremation chamber. All of the cremated remains and only the cremated remains of your pet will be returned to you. This is a most important aspect of pet cremation heard from pet owners and is our highest quality assurance. We use a specific identification process to ensure your animal companion is identified the moment he or she is entrusted to our care. We ensure that your pet is not commingled with other animals when you choose private cremation. An appropriately sized, temporary urn containing only the cremated remains of your pet will be returned to you.
Communal Cremation
Communal cremation (also known as Group Memorial Cremation) is a procedure where multiple animals are cremated together without any form of separation. These commingled cremated remains are not returned to owners. The cremated remains are scattered by our staff in a peaceful, private wooded area.
“A true friend leaves paw prints on your heart.”
Memorials
Saying goodbye is painful and memorializing your pet is an essential part of the healing process. Our staff does everything we can to help you honor and remember your beloved pet and find closure. We offer a wide range of products including bio urns, urns, jewelry pieces, picture frames and other items, so that you can choose a memorial suited to your pet. Many of these items may be uniquely made and personalized, and are a perfect way to keep your pet in your home forever. These items are currently available at our downtown Merrill display room, located at 810 East First Street, always available by appointment.
If you’d like to contact us to set up an appointment to see our memorial options, please call us at 715-218-0864 or email us. We look forward to helping you through this time of healing.
