If
your pet is euthanized by a vet, they usually offer you the choice of having
the body cremated for an extra charge. Cremation refers to the professionalism
of the death industry for animals. The number of Gold Coast pet cremation services is
rapidly increasing, in cremation is more common today than burial in a cemetery
or yard. The process of cremation is becoming standardized, with different
ancillary businesses giving support such as urns in different sizes.
Vets
basically serve as the middlemen of death. They take the bodies from owners and
then pass them on to crematory operators in a process that stays opaque. If a
pet is euthanized at the vet's clinic, a veterinary assistant will place the
body in a trash bag and put it in the freezer until the schedule of the
cremation. A truck will come once a week and fetch the bodies to take to the
crematory.
Types of Pet
Cremation
Private,
partitioned, and communal are the three kinds of pet cremation. Only a single
body of an animal is in the oven in a private cremation. When it comes to a
partitioned cremation, several animals at the same time may be in the
incinerator. However, they are separated to ensure that the remains from each
body are collected separately. Another type of pet cremation is communal, which
is unfortunately unavoidable. Communal cremation is the active comingling or
burning of many different animals at the same time without separating them.
As
a pet owner, you may be confused or misled regarding the kind of Gold Coast pet cremation services for your furry friend. Some owners may ask for the remains of their
pets to be returned and expect that the animal has received a private
cremation, but the process may be a partitioned one.
Also,
the cremains may be from their beloved pet, although active comingling
indicates that the cremains may likely include some parts of other pets.
Furthermore, the ashes from the communal or mass cremation are not returned to
the pet owner, instead, the disposal of the ashes is done by crematory itself
in a facility ground or memorial area.
If
you are worried about what happens to the body of your pet after you leave the
veterinary's office or after the clinic takes your animal from you, you may ask
important questions. For example, what will happen to your pet’s body? How is
the body transported or wrapped? Is it stored in a freezer? How can they
guarantee that the cremains is from your beloved pet?
You
may request to obtain the remains of your pet after a private or individual
cremation. However, as the cremains of the animals is pulverized together in
this kind of cremation, you may only receive a portion from a mixture of the
remains in a tin urn, cardboard box, or sealed bag. You may also ask the crematory
if you can view the process if you want to witness the pet cremation services. But
know that some crematories do not have this provision.
