Your Pet’s Final Care
Individual Cremation: Cremation is the most popular choice for pet owners. Some pet owners take comfort in keeping their pet's ashes, or cremains, as a remembrance. Cremation is the process of reducing the body of a pet by exposing it to intense heat. Through high heat and evaporation, the body is reduced to its basic mineral form. Individual cremation can be done through companies like Cal Pet Crematory. Cal Pet offers pet cremation services for all sizes of dogs and cats, as well as birds and other small pets. Home pickup is available at a nominal charge, but you must call ahead to make an appointment and assure their availability. You can also bring in your pet in person, also by appointment. The cremation is private, where only one pet is cremated at a time. Your pet’s remains are handled safely and respectfully; they are kept in clean refrigerated holding facilities and identified with an identification tag throughout the process. By appointment, you may choose to witness the cremation. Your pet’s remains are returned to you in a complimentary urn. Optionally, you may choose to have Cal Pet scatter the remains, or you may choose from their selection of urns and memorial stones. Cal Pet Crematory is located in the San Fernando Valley and offer services throughout Los Angeles County and parts of Ventura County, CA. Services are by appointment only. Please call in advance if you wish to deliver your pet personally, or to schedule a private cremation.

Home Burial:
Many pet owners take comfort in burying their beloved companions. This option allows you and your family to “visit” your deceased pet, and some people feel a sense of closure after the burial. Although reprimanded by some for its possible illegality, you may choose to bury your deceased pet in your backyard or somewhere else on your property but be sure you check with your local government beforehand to make sure that you are not violating any restrictions.
Pet Cemetery Burial:
Another option of burial to allow you and your family to visit your pet is a pet cemetery burial. A pet cemetery gives grieving pet owners a peaceful, quiet place to lay their companions to rest. Pet cemeteries often offer pet caskets, headstones, or funeral services to further commemorate the life of a beloved pet. When choosing a pet cemetery, it's a good idea to make sure that it is located on dedicated land – a pet cemetery on dedicated land will never be used for another purpose. There are various pet cemeteries to choose from in the Los Angeles area. Please contact them for more detailed information on their services.
