Losing Your Pet
Facing the loss of your pet, whether expected or sudden can be a very traumatic experience. At times it can be overwhelming and pet owners may be confused as to how to handle the loss.
Sometimes the thought of leaving your pet at the veterinary clinic is very uncomfortable and some families with pets choose to take care of the body of their loved one in other ways.
Pets have become a part of the family and that is why pet owners often wish to deal with the death of their companions through burial or cremation.
Why Cremation
Pet cremation is a much more delicate alternative to other means of disposing of your loved one. Through cremation, pet owners are able to make the decision to keep their pets with them, or to spread or bury their companions ashes somewhere that may have held a special meaning. Either way, with cremation, pet owners are able to memorialize their pets.
Cremation is not just for dogs and cats, but for animals of all sizes. There are also many different options as to the method of cremation that is right for you. Visit our Services section to learn more about the cremation process and why this may be the right option for you.

Beyond The Rainbow
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on Earth would fade.
I saw a wonderous image then of a place that’s trouble-free,
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful rainbow, and on the other side,
Were meadows rich and beautiful - lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see,
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new,
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you , to tell you I’m alright,
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright glow pierced the night.
‘Twas the glow of many candles shining bright and strong and bold,
And I knew then that it held your love in it’s brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we’re never far apart,
If you look beyond the rainbow and listen to your heart.
