Private cremation provides you with the opportunity to keep your pet’s cremated remains as a permanent and personal keepsake. When you choose private cremation, your treasured pet will be the only pet in the cremation chamber during the cremation process. When the cremation process is complete, we ensure that you receive only the cremated remains of your pet.
In memorial cremation, your pet is carefully placed into the crematory alongside other pets. Once the cremation is finished, the collective remains are gathered and interred in a communal burial plot or scattered on the grounds of a local farm. Since no cremated remains are returned to you with this option, you might want to explore our personalized memorial paw prints or fur clipping as a timeless keepsake to honor your pet's memory for life.
For some individuals, having the opportunity to visit our care center for a final farewell is a crucial aspect of their healing journey. Alternatively, being in proximity to their pet during the cremation process provides a sense of peace for others. We provide a serene reflection room available for the family's use. Availability for these services is limited, and an additional service fee applies and must be scheduled first thing in the AM. For details and availability, please contact us for the options that best meets your situations needs.
Introducing our innovative Pet Cremation Tracking Tag System, a unique identify tag and number is assigned to your pet from the initial stages and remains with them throughout every procedure and service until completion. Our system ensures the utmost reliability and eliminates any margin for error, providing you with the assurance that your pet is accounted for at all times within our care.
This tracking tag is seamlessly integrated into both our internal and external documentation, creating a comprehensive and foolproof record of your pet's journey. With this advanced system, we prioritize transparency and accuracy, offering you peace of mind during every step of the pet cremation process.

Euthanasia, commonly known as "putting a pet to sleep," is a procedure mandated to be carried out by a licensed veterinarian or, in certain instances, a licensed veterinary technician under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian. However, We can support you by providing a recommendation for a qualified professional who can perform the procedure in the comfort of your home or at a location of your preference. We will collaborate with your chosen provider to ensure the proper and respectful transfer of your pet to our facility.
Feel free to inquire about services for a private burial site in Central Ohio, where we maintain an exclusive partnership for your loved ones.

Similar to the sorrow felt when losing a family member or close friend, the emotional journey of losing a pet can be challenging. Please be assured that we are here to support you at every stage.
We believe that making thoughtful decisions in a calm and clear state of mind is preferable to hurried choices in the midst of grief. Take the time to explore our website, and feel free to reach out via call or email for any inquiries.

Introducing the Paws for Life Trust Fund, a non-profit funding source established through generous donations from the public and affiliated associations. This initiative aims to offset fees associated with after-life pet care, ensuring that every pet owner, regardless of financial constraints, has the opportunity for a dignified end-of-life care experience for their cherished family member. Your contributions make it possible to extend compassion and support to those who may not have the means to fully fund these essential services, fostering a community where every pet is granted the respect and care they deserve in their final moments.
