Cremation Options

Private vs. Communal Cremation
Every family has different wishes when it comes to honoring the life of their beloved Pet. Resting Paws offers both private and communal cremation, allowing you to choose the option that best meets your family's needs.
Private Cremation
With a Private Cremation, your pet is cremated individually, ensuring they are the only pet in the cremation chamber throughout the entire process. Once the cremation is complete, your pet's cremated remains are carefully collected, placed in the urn you have selected, and returned to you.
Communal Cremation
With a Communal Cremation, several pets are cremated during the same cremation cycle. Because the cremated remains naturally become commingled during the process, it is not possible to separate or return an individual pet's ashes.
Although cremated remains are not returned, some families still choose to honor their companion's memory with one of our Tributes of Remembrance, including keepsakes and memorial items that celebrate the special bond they shared.
No matter which option you choose, every pet entrusted to our care is treated with the same compassion, dignity, and respect they deserve.
