Can I Scatter My 
Pet's Ashes?

Yes, you have the option of scattering. Many people like to scatter ashes in one of their pet's favorite areas or possibly a garden.

Remember, however, that scattering is an irreversible decision. Most people who scatter prefer to keep a small portion of the ashes. This small portion may be placed in a keepsake urn, a wind chime urn, or even a memorial locket. 

A "place of memorial" can be quite comforting, so take time in making decisions about scattering.
 

 

Can I Bury My Companion At Home?

Traditional burial can be arranged on private property. We offer FREE consultation with one of our staff members. There are many choices and options for you and your family to select from. We offer a complete line of burial supplies such as caskets and grave markers. We can help with transportation and opening and closing of the grave.

How Much Does Cremation Cost?

Pet cremation is generally priced according to the size of the pet. For a complete list of our services and prices, including memorial services, family witnessing of the cremation, and viewing (just to name a few), please call us so that we may explain the many options and choices available to you.

How Do I Know I'm Getting The Right Ashes Back?

Over the years, that has been one of the largest issues surrounding cremation for humans as well as pets. The answer is simple, only work with a professional cremation service provider that you feel you can trust. Animal Care Crematory has an "Open Door Policy" and encourages tours of our facility, including our state of the art crematory. If you're concerned about the correct ashes, always ask where the cremation is handled and if you prefer, ask to speak with the certified crematory operator. You should be allowed to see the crematory if you choose. Some families even prefer to witness placement into the crematory.

Animal Care Crematory maintains a permanent record of all cremations we handle. Every cremation process is issued a record number, which becomes a part of our permanent file and each cremation is handled with care and respect at all times. We want you to have confidence in our service and as members of the human funeral service profession, we apply the same dignified procedures to pet aftercare as we do with human aftercare.

What If My Pet Dies At Home?

Our 24-hour removal service is available to pet owners when the time of need occurs. A phone call to us is all that is needed. For a small removal fee, our representative will come to your home for the removal of your pet. 

How Far Will You Travel?

We consider our "Home Territory" to be the Wayne County area. If we travel outside of our area (35 miles), the charge is $1.00 per mile, one way. If you live outside our area and would like to bring your pet companion to us, we offer scheduled cremation services seven days per week.

Can I Bring My Pet To You Myself?

Absolutely. Anyone can transport their own pet, and sometimes there is wonderful therapy in providing some of the care yourself. Whether your pet dies at home, a clinic or pet hospital, you are always welcome to take an active role in the process.

Do You Work With My Veterinarian?

We are happy to work with any veterinarian; some even prefer to work with us exclusively. It would not be possible for us to provide all the cremation and burial services to all veterinarians; therefore, we have focused our efforts toward serving the pet owners who appreciate high quality service and the veterinarians who appreciate our professionalism and wide range of services. We are much more than a pet crematory, we are a full service aftercare provider available as a resource to any pet owner or veterinarian. All veterinarians in the area are aware of our services and will be accommodating to your needs if you ask for us.

 How Can I "Memorialize" 
My Pet?

Memories are one of the best legacies following the death of a pet companion. Memorializing your pet can help you keep those memories alive.

To some people, memorialization means to hold a service such as a funeral or memorial service. 

To others, memorialization could mean a place to visit, such as a grave, or special place in the garden. 

Making a memorial contribution to a charity in memory of your pet can be a fitting tribute.

And yet others find comfort  in having their pet's ashes in an urn that symbolizes their companion's life.
