Frequently Asked Questions

Why cremated remains instead of Ashes?

Utilizing the term ashes does not correctly describe the final product after cremation. During the cremation process, the ambient temperature of the cremation chamber averages 1700 degrees Fahrenheit. What we are left with are bone fragments or cremated remains. The remaining bone fragments are processed to create a finer material similar in consistency to sand. The cremated remains may contain various shades of gray. In addition, green blue, red and yellow organic particles may be visible in the cremated remains.

How can I be sure I am receiving my pets cremated remains?

We have implemented many checks and balances to ensure accuracy during every moment your pet is in our care. A unique identification number accompanies your pet every step of the way.

Can toys, blankets or other items be cremated with my pet?

We abide by strict environmental standards and are closely monitored by regulatory agencies regarding our emissions. Because of this, we do not allow plastic toys, balls, etc. to be cremated with your pet. We will allow small swatches of beds or blankets made of natural fibers to be cremated with your pet.
