What’s the difference between private
and communal cremation?
​
Choosing between private and communal cremation is a very personal decision, and there’s no right or wrong choice; only what feels best for you and your family.
​
With private cremation, your pet is cremated individually, and their ashes are returned to you. Many families find comfort in having their pet’s ashes at home or in a special place of remembrance.
​
With communal cremation, pets are cremated together, and ashes are not returned. This option is often chosen by families who don’t wish to receive ashes but still want their pet cared for with dignity and respect.
​
Whichever option you choose, please know that your pet will always be treated with compassion, care, and grace. If you’re unsure which feels right, we’re here to talk things through and support you every step of the way.
