Coping with the loss of your beloved pet can be incredibly challenging, but you don’t have to face it alone. Support is always available if you need it. Remember, everyone grieves differently, and it’s important to allow yourself to mourn in your own way without feeling any shame.

This is especially true for families with children. Kids may have a particularly hard time understanding and processing the loss of a pet. It’s important to provide them with extra support and reassurance during this time. Encourage open conversations about their feelings and share memories of your pet together as a family.

Additionally, other pets in the home may also grieve the loss of their play companion. They might exhibit changes in behavior, such as increased lethargy or loss of appetite. Or even just want to be closer to than normal. Allowing them to 'say goodbye' to their friend can help them reconcile that they friend is no longer going to be around to keep them company. This is the same for when the ashes of your beloved pet is returned home to you ... show them their urn and speak there name.  You will be amazed at how much this helps bring them inner peace. Providing extra attention, maintaining routines, and offering comfort can help them adjust to the loss also. 

We encourage you to explore our resources page for additional information and grief support. There, you’ll find helpful articles, support groups, and other resources designed to assist you, your family, and your other pets during this difficult time.

This is a very good question, and there are several factors that can cause pets of similar weights to produce different amounts of ashes after cremation:

1. Cremation Process: The temperature and duration of the cremation process can influence the amount of ashes. Higher temperatures and longer cremation times typically result in finer ashes, which may appear to be less in volume because they become more compact. Additionally, longer cremation times help remove more impurities, further reducing the volume of ashes.
2. Items Cremated with the Pet: Any items cremated alongside the pet, such as paper or other natural materials, can affect the total volume of ashes. Materials that do not fully combust, especially those high in carbon content, will add to the amount of ashes produced.
3. Bone Density: Pets with lower bone density will produce fewer ashes. This is often observed in older pets or those suffering from illnesses such as cancer, which can weaken the bones.
4. Bone Structure: The breed of the pet also plays a significant role. Different breeds have varying bone structures, which affects the amount of ashes produced. For instance, a Maine Coon cat, known for its larger and denser bones, will yield more ashes compared to a Siamese cat of the same weight.

We feel that understanding these factors can often help pet owners have realistic expectations about the cremation process and the resulting ashes of their much loved companion. Each pet is unique, and these variations are a natural part of the cremation process. 

They most certainly can! Any variety of personal items can journey with your pet during the cremation process and be cremated with them. 

These can be their favorite snacks, personal letters you’ve written to them, children’s drawings or letters, poems, their bed, blanket or special pillow or their collar .... any other meaningful items you would like them to have on their final journey are able to be cremated with them. 

The high heat of our cremators ensures that these items will be thoroughly incinerated, leaving little to no traces that might co-mingle with your pet’s ashes. Including these personal belongings can be a heartfelt way to honor your pet’s memory and the special moments you shared together. It allows you to send them off with the things they loved and the expressions of your love and care.

Please just let your FurEver With Us carer know that you would like an item or items to be cremated with your pet. They will ensure that our Cremation team is aware also and that your wishes are carried out. 

Most definitely. We offer cremation care services for pets and animals of all sizes and types. 

Whether you have a large dog like a Great Dane or a Saint Bernard, or a smaller pet such as a cat, rabbit, or hamster, rats or mice, we can accommodate your needs.

Rest assured that our services extend to a wide variety of pets and animals, including birds, fish, reptiles, farm animals, exotic animals, and even horses, donkey's, wildlife and farm animals.

No matter the size or type of your pet, we ensure that each one receives the respectful and dignified care they deserve. We are here to provide compassionate and professional cremation services for all your beloved animals.

Yes we do. We are able to arrange a variety of befitting and heartfelt final goodbye options in specially designed Comfort Rooms (Please note that additional costs do apply). 

These services are designed to give you and your family the opportunity to spend peaceful, meaningful moments with your pet before saying your final farewell.
