Somewhat OT cremation
Any information on cremations on "pick ups" from vets, or by local
animal control ? I belong to several pet health groups and have noticed that scads of people who spend big money on care for just a few months extra life with adverse reactions to drugs hand their belved friends over to vets and animal control for cremation. When they get back the ashes they assume it is the remains of their animal. This is too sensitive a question to ask on those boards so I`ll try here. I would never do anything but use my own animal cemetary for cremation ( the one I`ve used will allow you to view the process if desired) , the one dog I`ve had who died had a formal burial in my backyard, I may consider cremation for my other animals, but I`d never trust "the system" to do anything but do group cremations no matter what anyone might say . Any insight into whether ashes returned from vets or animal control pick ups are truly those of just one animal. SD |

I've heard that pet cremations often occur for multiple smaller animals at a time. When I had 70 pound Murphy cremated, because of her size, the odds were that she'd be cremated on her own, but I still paid extra to be sure that this was done. the shelter I work with does individuals (for a fee), large or small. Very careful about the proper remains being returned to the owner. As far as vets sending out, who knows. That's why I have someone I trust do it. -- Janet B www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/bestfr...bedience/album |

They use shady corrupt pet crematories and I do not favor them. a little overgeneralization, no? The shelter I work with (not an animal control) has an on-site crematory - no sending out. -- Janet B www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/bestfr...bedience/album |

Call a pet cemetery/crematory/funeral home combination that has a good reputation and ask for the information on private pet cremations. Look under the Pet Cemetery & Crematories listing in the Yellow Pages. yeah, *that's* a way to find a responsible crematorium. Backyard burial is not an option. whew! i guess it's a good thing that elliott is buried in my side yard. -- shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net http://cat-sidh.blogspot.com/ |

I belong to several pet health groups and have noticed that scads of people who spend big money on care for just a few months extra life with adverse reactions to drugs hand their belved friends over to vets and animal control for cremation. We use a wonderful pet cemetery about 40 miles from us. They pick up at our clinic on a regular schedule or when we ask. There are several different options for clients to pick from: Cremation with ashes returned; cremation with ashes scattered; Group burial, private burial. We visit the cemetary once a year and clients go there as well. It's wonderful, beautiful, very professional and I have no concerns about them messing with ashes. They are returned to us in very nice containers with the pet's name on it. If you have concerns, you can take your pet's remains to a local pet cemetery yourself. I only know of two veterinarians who have their own facilities and both take the standards for cremation very seriously and respectfully. You just don't kbow unless you ask questions of the facilities you doubt. -Sharon |

Well Janet, take a look at this article and it tells you why the pet cremation industry is rife with fraud. that is why veterinarians are are getting caught with their pants down for using a corrupt pet crematory. http://www.funeralwire.com/modules.p...icle&sid=17310 WienerDog |
