Pet Cremation Services

When trying to decide on the cremation service for your pet it is important to understand the different options available to you. Lasting Memories Pet Memorial follows strict guidelines set out by the Pet Loss Professional Alliance.

Private Cremation

Private cremation is a cremation procedure during which only one animal’s body is present in the cremation chamber during the cremation process. The animal is uniquely identified throughout the process with a metal identification disc. The cremated remains are placed in your choice of either a wooden oak urn or a ceramic urn in a choice of three different colours. A certificate of cremation accompanies each private cremation.

Individual Partitioned Cremation

Individual partitioned cremation is a cremation procedure during which more than one animal’s body is present in the cremation unit and the cremated remains of specific pets are to be returned. A method of separation is used between each pet and the cremated remains of each pet are both identifiable with a metal cremation disc and are retrievable. The cremated remains are placed in your choice of either a wooden oak urn or a ceramic urn in a choice of three different colours. A certificate of cremation accompanies each individual partitioned cremation.

Communal Cremation

Communal cremation is a cremation procedure where multiple pets are cremated together without any form of separation. The cremated remains are not returned but rather buried in a pet cemetery.
