The following questions and answers should provide some direction and comfort to those who suffer the loss of a pet. How do I know it's my pet's ashes I receive back?
This is the most important and frequently asked question. We are extremely proud of our reputation within the pet industry and we are used and recommended by the majority of veterinary hospitals and clients in Southern New Brunswick and downeast Maine. Once deceased pets are in our care, each pet destined for a private cremation is tagged with pet's name, breed and family name. The tag stays with the pet from pickup to delivery of the cremated remains. Cherished Pet Memorial Services' has its own crematoria and its owners live on-site. Therefore, complete control of the entire pet cremation process is in our hands at all times. Most importantly, at Cherished Pet Memorial Services you have the option of being present during the cremation if you so wish. A scheduled appointment for your presence would be the only requirement. Can I give personal effects to be taken with my pet?Yes, of course you can. Small items such as photos, favourite toys, collars, etc. can be placed in the crematoria with your pet. What if I don't want my pet's ashes back?If you don't wish to have your pet's ashes back, Cherished Pet Memorial Services has other options for you. Your pet's ashes can be placed in our Niche Wall or they can be scattered or buried in our Memorial Gardens. What will I be charged?
We have arranged a system with most Veterinarian Hospitals whereby you only need to request
our services and they will bill you directly. You must, however, let your Veterinarian know
whether you want a private cremation or a communal cremation. Remember though that your bill
may reflect examination and euthanization charges as well as cremation costs. Most Veterinarian
Hospitals' charges will vary as costs are determined by size and/or weight of the pet in
question. We advise you to check with your Veterinarian before hand so that you will be
knowledgeable of the costs involved in providing for your pet's after-life care.
