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 many, a final farewell or being present during cremation is an important part of healing. We offer a serene Memory Room for these moments. Please contact us to discuss availability options and scheduling.
Our Pet Cremation Tracking Tag System assigns a unique ID to your pet, staying with them through every step of the process. Integrated into all internal and external documentation, it ensures accuracy, transparency, and peace of mind. Customize a tag that’s secure for life.
Euthanasia must be performed by a licensed veterinarian or, in some cases, a supervised veterinary technician. We can recommend a qualified professional for in-home or preferred-location services and coordinate a respectful transfer 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. We strongly recommend considering commemorating your pet's life through options such as a private service with Paws for Life or a unique fur clipping or paw print in remembrance.
THIS OPTION COULD BE WITH OR WITHOUT ASHES AS FINAL RESTING.
