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. |
