Respectful And Loving Pet Send-Offs With A Pet Cemetery Maryland Service

By Alison Wilcox


Those who keep pets develop a deep bond with them and to them they are family. Losing them is as painful as losing anyone in the family. Those who have backyards will usually bury a departed pet there. Others will call the department of animal services to pick and dispose of the bodies. Another alternative is vets who offer a pet disposal service. There is an alternative thanks to a pet cemetery Maryland service.

The cemetery also sorts out the dilemma for those who live in rented apartments with no backyard where they can bury their pets. Another objective is to give departed pets an ethical and compassionate sending off. Like people, pets that are laid to rest in a cemetery can be visited and flowers placed over their graves.

Burial arrangements can also be taken car of and this can be a private affair if so wished. If a pet is to be cremated, this can be done as private or group cremation. It can be done at the cemetery or other location such as at the home of the owner. The logistics of collecting the body and delivering the remains to the family can also be taken care of as part of pre-planning. Pet owners can view their pets whenever they wish as arrangements are being made. They can also be present at the cremation if they wish.

Following cremation, an owner has the option of having the remains spread around the cemetery grounds. They can also choose to take the remains with them to keep or scatter at a place of their choice. Owners may also opt for split cremation.

This is standard cremation only that mementos like certificates, prints of paws and engraved tags are created. The remains are split into duplicate urns which are given to families that are separated or children who each want keepsakes for children who want their mementos of their departed pet.

Cremation can be done individually and in most cases remains are returned to the pet owner. There is also communal cremation. This is a procedure where more two or more pets are cremated together. The remains are not returned to the owner but they are usually scattered in the cemetery grounds.

There are owners who prefer that their pets are buried. The ceremony is done with a casket, interment, a plot, marker and other details of funerals for people. The cemetery makes all the arrangements. Grave maintenance is a standard service. Other aftercare services like the placing of flowers can be done on request. Some owners like to add special touches like the having a toy or other personal item that belonged to the pet kept at the grave and this can be organized as well.

The pet cemetery Maryland adheres to set processes and procedures in cremating or burying animals. It has membership in the International Association of Pet Cemeteries and Cremations and it complies with their ethics and standards.
