Frequently Asked Questions

How Do You Hold a Pet Memorial?

There are different ways to hold a memorial, including displaying an urn, burying your pet, or scattering the ashes. It can be related to your pet’s personality or something you used to do, like spending time in the garden, creating art, or listening to music.

How Long Can I Hold a Pet Memorial?

If it is at your home, you can hold a pet memorial for as long as you like. This is also the advantage of getting an urn since you can choose the best time and place for the memorial. Most memorial facilities only allow a few hours to hold a memorial before burial or scattering of ashes.

What Should I Do After the Death of a Pet?

When your dog or cat passes away, you can decide whether to bury your pet right away or cremate the body first. The advantage of cremation is that you get to preserve the remains in a beautiful urn and hold a memorial.
