What do I do when my pet dies?
Many leave the decision of disposing of their pet up to their veterinarian and/or
friends. Unfortunately, by doing that they never really understand what happens to their pet. It is important that you know
about the alternatives available to you. Deceased Pet Care works with hundreds of veterinarian clinics across the state. You
may instruct your clinic to call us, or you may call us direct. Once we receive your call, your pet will be picked-up usually
within 24 hours and brought back to our facility. If your pet dies at home, we offer a 24-hour removal service---all that
is needed is a call from you to our office.

What happens with my pet when I leave?
Our crematory facility is located on-site, meaning, from the time we receive
your pet your pet is tagged and brought directly to our facility and does not leave our facility until you pick him/her up.
We specialize in individual cremations thus, assuring you of receiving only your pet's cremains.

Should I choose cremation or burial?
When making this decision there are many factors to consider. Cremation is
an option that allows you to handle your pet's remains as you wish, whether it be burying them, scattering them, or keeping
them in a decorative urn. Consideration of your living situation, personal and religious values, as well as plans for the
future can help you determine whether cremation or burial of your pet is the right choice for you and your family. No matter
what you decide, Deceased Pet Care can meet your needs.

If I choose cremation, should I bury, scatter, or keep my cremains?
This decision is entirely a matter of choice.
Some considerations to think about include: Am I planning to remain at my residence indefinitely? If not, you may want to
consider our Garden Cremains Urn which allows you to bury the cremains in a sealed container and take it with you when you
move. Our Garden Urn also has a memorial plaque emblazed on the top making it very easy to locate and take up. Some prefer
to keep their cremains in an urn in their home with them. Our fully-stocked showroom features many styles and sizes to suite
your preference.

If I choose cremation, how soon can I get my pet's cremains back?
Under normal circumstances, if you call our
office before 2 p.m., your pet will be ready for you to pick up at our office within 72 hours.

If I choose burial, should I bury at home or in a pet cemetery?
While home burial was a common practice many years
ago, city and county ordinances usually prohibit pet home burial today. If you are renting, or move frequently home burial
may not be an option. To many, a pet cemetery provides a sense of permanency, as well as a tranquil place to spend time reflecting
on fond memories. It signifies a dignity to your pet that was a constant part of your life, always ready to give you love
and companionship. Burying your pet in a pet cemetery brings honor and the ultimate gesture of love to a life that will be
forever cherished.
