coping with the death of a pet
When a person you love dies, it's natural to feel sorrow,
express grief, and expect friends and family to provide
understanding and comfort. Unfortunately, the same doesn't
always hold true if the one who died was your companion animal.
Many consider grieving inappropriate for someone who has lost
"just a pet."
Nothing could be further from the truth. People love their pets
and consider them members of their family. Caregivers celebrate
their pets' birthdays, confide in their animals, and carry
pictures of them in their wallets. So when your beloved pet
dies, it's not unusual to feel overwhelmed by the intensity of
your sorrow. Animals provide companionship, acceptance,
emotional support, and unconditional love during the time they
share with you. If you understand and accept this bond between
humans and animals, you've already taken the first step toward
coping with pet loss: knowing that it is okay to grieve when
your pet dies.
Understanding how you grieve and finding ways to cope with your
loss can bring you closer to the day when memories bring smiles
instead of tears.

 If you have pets, it is likely you consider them family members.
If you have ever lost a beloved pet, you know the grief you
experience is not unlike that you feel when you lose a human
companion. As a family of animal lovers, we understand this,
which is why, in 1995, we installed a completely separate
crematory especially for pets.In addition to our individual pet cremations, we offer the
following pet services:
- Urns, monuments and options for memorialization available.
- Transportation from residence or veterinarian
- Engraved brass nameplates available
- Information on bereavement services
- Pet crematory open for tours
