Individual Cremation FAQ’s
What is cremation?
Cremation is a method of body disposal that serves as an alternative to traditional burial. The pet’s remains are incinerated in a cremation chamber or “retort” and reduced to basic chemical compounds – gases, ashes, and mineral fragments — which are sometimes referred to as “cremains.” Following a sufficient period of cool down, the bone particles and ash are retrieved from the retort and then processed into a fine powder. The cremains is then placed into a secure clear cremation bag. Then, the bag is returned to you as is, placed into the memorialization urn of your choice.
Do most pet owners choose a individual or communal cremation?
This is really an individual choice. Fifteen years ago, most families chose communal cremation – as most chose not to receive back their pet’s cremated remains. Today, that ratio has flipped and more pet families are choosing individual and/or private cremation as they prefer to have their pet’s cremated remains returned to them.
Is there only one type of cremation?
There are 3 types of pet cremations.
Private Cremation is when your pet is the only pet in the retort during the cremation process. This guarantees you will receive only your pet’s remains back.
Individual cremation is when your pet is cremated by itself or separated from others during the cremation. This process allows for remains to be separate ensuring you will receive your pet’s remains back.
Communal cremation is when the retort is filled to capacity with pets and all of their cremated remains are commingled as a result. With this type of cremation, it is impossible for the provider to return your pet’s cremated remains to you.
Because of the lack of regulation, it is important for you to ask your pet cremation provider what they mean when they use the terms like individual cremation in order to ensure you are clear about the choice you are making.
