What is Cremation?
Cremation is the process of reducing the body by exposing it to intense heat. Through high heat, the body is reduced to its basic mineral form. Although the remains are commonly called “ashes”, the proper term is “cremains”. Several cremation options are available: private, individual or group. The best way to determine which is right for you and your pet is to ask yourself, “Is it important to have my pet’s ashes back?” Email us and we will gladly send you cost details.
Private Cremation
In a private cremation, your pet is the only pet in the cremation chamber. Your pets’ cremains are returned to you in a complimentary urn or in the decorative urn you purchase. Forget-Me-Not utilizes state of the art software, along with stainless steel numbered tags for identifying and tracking your pet. You can be assured that only your pets’ cremains are returned to you. We treat all pets with care and respect, just as we would treat our own.
Witnessed Cremation
Due to COVID-19, we will no longer be offering witness cremation services until further notice.
Forget-Me-Not has a private viewing room where you can say your final good-byes to your beloved pet. When you are ready you will be allowed to accompany your pet to the crematory to watch them be gently placed into the cremation chamber. You are welcome to stay at Forget-Me-Not for the entire service or leave and return later to bring your pet home the same day. Witnessed Cremations are by appointment only and can take between 1 and 5 hours depending on your pets breed
