According to the International Association of Pet Cemeteries and Crematories (IAOPCC), the second Sunday in September marks National Pet Memorial Day, a day to honor our pets both past and present and recognize the important role that beloved pets play in our lives. This prestigious event was established more than 40 years ago by the Members of the IAOPCC; unfortunately, that memorial fell on September 11th this year and I wanted to give the proper reflection and reverence to a day marked with senseless tragedy. So in turn, I am bringing light to National Pet Memorial Day a day after its national recognition.
Mourning a pet’s death can be a difficult time. You need to give yourself plenty of time, patience, and room to heal properly. If you’re unsure how you are going to heal from the loss of a pet here are a few activities and ideas suggested from the IAOPCC that may help you.
A new avenue in our funeral home is Pet Care – and we offer cremation and burial services which includes at home removals and transportation, if needed. We subcontract to a Pet Crematory about 30 minutes away that offers all the amenities for families to quietly sit and be present with their pet during the cremation process. We understand personal pet cremation maybe more expensive than cremations performed at the veterinary office, but we feel that the personalized attention is something to consider when weighing your options. Regardless, we can still serve your pet needs through numerous products – caskets, vaults, urns, pet grave markers, garden stones, etc. Lastly, the same cremation memorabilia available for humans is available for the pet universe too such as numerous jewelry keepsakes along with nose and paw print products.
