Choosing a Cremation Service

Distinguishing the Best from the Rest

Veterinarians and pet guardians must be certain that the pet will be accorded the highest degree of dignity, sanctity and security. Following are the 10 most important questions to ask when choosing a crematorium facility:

  • Is the cremation process under the supervision of trained technicians?
  • Is the crematorium a member of The International Association of Pet Cemeteries and Crematories?
  • Does the crematorium observe government rules and regulations?
  • When was the last time your crematorium was inspected by provincial regulatory officials?
  • Is your crematorium large enough to accommodate pets of all sizes?
  • What if I have a small pet, like a bird, am I able to get his/her ashes returned?
  • Can I witness the cremation process?
  • How and in what form are the ashes returned?
  • How does the crematorium guarantee the full recovery of my pet’s ashes?
  • How is my pet transported and how do I know that my pet is properly identified?
