FAQ
Resolve your doubts
When it comes to pet cremation, the available options usually include individual cremation and communal cremation. In individual cremation, your pet is cremated alone, ensuring that their ashes are returned to you. This process allows you to keep your pet’s ashes close as a tangible memento. On the other hand, in communal cremation, multiple pets are cremated together and the ashes are not returned. This option is typically more economical but does not allow for the individualized return of your pet’s ashes.
The main difference between individual and communal cremation is the process and the final destination of the ashes. In individual cremation, your pet is cremated alone, ensuring that their ashes are returned to you in a commemorative urn. This process provides a personalized way to honor and remember your pet. In contrast, in communal cremation, pets are cremated together and the ashes are not returned. This option is usually more economical, but the ashes are not available for keeping or scattering.
The pet cremation process involves placing the body of your dog or cat in a specially designed cremation oven that uses high temperatures to break down the organic remains. It is essential to ensure that the cremation service provider is reliable and respectful, guaranteeing a dignified and humane process. You can research the facilities, ask for references, and request information about their practices and procedures. Clearly communicate your wishes and expectations to the provider to ensure a respectful and careful process for your pet.
Yes, many pet cremation service providers offer additional services to help you honor your pet’s memory in a meaningful way. These services can include the recovery of ashes in a personalized commemorative urn, creating an online memorial where you can share memories and photos of your pet, or even the option to plant a tree in their honor. Some providers also offer services like paw print impressions or creating commemorative jewelry with a small amount of your pet’s ashes.
The cost of cremating an animal varies based on several factors:
- Animal’s Weight: Larger animals generally have a higher cremation cost.
- Type of Cremation: Individual cremation, where only your dog/cat is cremated and the ashes are returned to you, is more expensive than communal cremation, where multiple animals are cremated together and the ashes are not returned.
- Location: Prices can vary depending on the region and the pet funeral service provider you choose.
In general, individual cremation for a dog can cost between €150 and €400, while communal cremation is more economical, with prices ranging from €50 to €180.
The time it takes to cremate a dog depends on several factors:
- Size of the Pet: Larger pets generally take longer to cremate than smaller pets due to their greater body mass.
- Crematorium Capacity: Crematoriums with larger capacities can cremate multiple animals at once, potentially reducing the wait time for each pet.
- Type of Cremation: Individual cremation, where only your dog/cat is cremated, usually takes longer than communal cremation. This is because the crematorium needs to heat up and cool down for each individually cremated animal.
In general, the cremation of a pet can take between 1 and 3 hours.
The ashes of your pet will be available for delivery after the cremation. However, the delivery time can vary depending on the pet funeral service provider you choose.
Factors influencing the delivery time:
- Cooling Time of the Oven: After the cremation, the oven needs time to cool down before the ashes can be collected.
- Preparation of Ashes: The ashes are ground and placed in an urn or similar container.
- Administrative Processing: The pet funeral service provider needs to process the necessary paperwork for the delivery of the ashes.
In general, the ashes of your pet will be available for delivery between 1 and 7 business days after the cremation.
