At Pets Remembered
- All pets are cremated privately and alone.
- Only one pet is allowed in the entire cremation machine; this is the only cremation method we provide.
- Within 24 hours1 after your pet comes into our care, your pet’s ashes are either returned to the veterinary clinic from which they were picked up or are available at our location to be picked up by you.
Other cremation providers may describe their method as “individual” or “separate”, which is different from privately and alone. Methods described as “individual” or “separate” may actually mean putting more than one pet at a time in their cremation machine.
