What Does Cremating Your Pet Involve

Pets are considered a part of the family in most households. Their unconditional love for the entire family is the reason why they’re everyone’s favourite family member. Whether you have a dog, a cat or any other animal as your pet, their death can have a lasting impact on your life. Upon experiencing the passing of a beloved pet, there are various ways in which you can deal with their bodies. You can either have them buried in a pet cemetery or have them cremated. In most places, cremation is the most popular method of disposing of dead pets. To understand this process, read on to learn the steps involved.


Selection of the Crematorium

A crematorium is a place where bodily remains of humans and animals are cremated. Some crematoriums exclusively provide cremation services specifically for pets. Though, these pet crematoriums are rare and you might find it difficult to locate one nearby. You will need to decide whether you want to have your pet cremated at a crematorium that is reserved only for pets, or at any just any regular crematorium. Keep in mind that cremation charges at pet crematoriums might be different from regular crematoriums.

Type of Cremation

Broadly speaking, the cremation of a dog, a cat or any other pet can be done using three different methods. The first method is individual cremation, in which only a single pet is cremated in the cremation chamber at a time. This type of cremation is suitable for people who want to keep the remains of their beloved pet. Witnessed cremation is the second type of pet cremation. It is similar to individual cremation since only a single pet is cremated in the cremation chamber in this method too. However, the difference is that you get to witness it. The last type of pet cremation is communal cremation. In this method, multiple animals and pets are cremated together in the cremation chamber. You can’t obtain the remains of your pet if you opt for communal cremation.

Cremation Process

The cremation process itself is a straight-forward one. The body of your pet dog or cat is placed inside a cremation chamber which is subjected to temperatures in excess of 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, or 980 degrees Celsius. Such high temperatures break the pet’s body down into remains which consists of a mixture of ashes and bone fragments. The entire cremation process can take about two hours to complete. If you have a large dog, the pet cemetery process can take even longer.
