Your Pet's Final Arrangements
I request the following care for my pet:
Final Good-Bye
Many families want to have that one last time to visit their pet after death, a visitation or wake if you will. While this may seem like a trivial thing - or possibly something that you consider morbid and odd, this one last time with your pet is valuable time spent. When the family pet dies, it is often the child's first exposure to death and can cause him or her to feel confused and upset. This gathering of family during this visitation helps the child to understand death, supports them in their grieving process and is used as a valuable tool for parents in explaining death as a natural event in life.
Many times family members, friends and other pets in the household will want to have their final goodbye with your pet too. Pets touch so many people during their short lives with us. Allow those around you the opportunity to come together, pay their respects, and support each other. (Please know that our staff has been trained in the proper procedures and care techniques to ensure that your pet is groomed and presentable for the Final Good-Bye).
My family and I will want a Final Good-Bye Time with our pet:
(Please be sure to mark your decision on our Secure Passages cremation authorization form at time of request for services)
The Remembrance / Funeral Service
Many families also wish to have a remembrance service, where family and friends can come together to pay their respects, and support you in your loss. Do you wish to have a service of remembrance for your pet?
Your Pet's Memorial
Just like the decisions you made earlier, making a decision about memorializing your pet is a very personal process. Your final selection should reflect the life shared with your pet, your life style, your personal style, and those "little things" which reflect your pet's unique personality. Do you wish to create memorial in honor of your animal companion?
Your Pet's Story
Pet Remembrances is an online pet obituary that is designed for you, the pet parent as a way to honor your pet's life and share their story with others. By sharing a Pet Remembrance you will not only embrace the memories of your pet but you will create a permanent place for yourself, your family and your friends to return to as you remember your faithful companion that brought so much happiness. Their story may be shared with words, pictures, video and music and will be displayed on our website and nationally for other pet lovers to see and read. Please feel free to add a Pet Remembrance at your convenience or we would be glad to help you.
