Why Cremation?

There was a time in our community that when a beloved pet died the family would go out to the backyard, dig a grave and bury their beloved companion under its favorite tree. Often a marker would be placed next to the spot, commemorating the place of honor of this wonderful pet. You knew, as a child, that even when you were grown up with a family of your own, you could still come back and visit the grave of your old friend.

But times have changed. Many of us no longer have that large backyard of our youth; instead we live in apartments or condominiums. Or we are part a mobile generation and rarely live in our homes for more than ten years. We have also found that the places we thought safe have been developed and the place where the old oak tree once stood is now part of a parking lot for a strip mall. However one of the consistencies in our lives is our continued love for our pets. They are our friends, our confidants - the loyal, loving, unquestioning mainstay in our lives. And when they die, cremation gives you the opportunity to have them with you always.

Through the services at Friends Ever After Pet Crematory you can not only choose how you want your companion to be cremated, whether a private session, a partitioned session or a group cremation; you can also choose from a large selection of urns that can be used to store the cremated remains of your beloved pet and be displayed in a place of honor in your home, a temporary container that can be used when you choose to scatter the cremated remains over a favorite place or a unique monument with which to remember your pet.
