When the time comes that you need to choose a provider for your pet’s cremation, you want to be sure to choose one who you are confident will treat your pet with the utmost respect and care. This isn’t just about a service—it’s about trusting someone with a member of your family. As you navigate this difficult decision, there are a few things to keep in mind.
1. Choose a Provider that Shows Your Animal the Same Care You Did
In times of grief, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your pet or horse will be handled with care. You should feel confident that the team handling their cremation is not only professional but compassionate.
At PCS, we take pride in the fact that our approach to pet cremation goes beyond just the technical process. We believe in treating each animal with the same love and attention you gave them in life, which is why every step, from the initial pickup to the careful return of their ashes, is handled with an extra layer of care.
Not just “doing their job,” our drivers, rather, are known for their kindness and empathy. They offer support during the pickup process and give families the space and time needed to say goodbye.
2. Choose a Provider Offering Cremation Services That Fits Your Needs
It’s also essential to have a provider that offers cremations that understands and respects your wishes and budget. At PCS, we offer both private and communal cremation, allowing you to decide what’s best for you and your animal.
If you choose a private cremation, you’ll receive your companion’s cremains in a timely manner, following our strict and respectful code of ethics. To ensure your peace of mind, we utilize a chain of custody marker that will follow your pet through the process and ensure the identity of each pet we see. No matter which service you choose, however, our commitment is to honor your preferences and treat your beloved pet with the dignity and care they deserve.
3. Choose A Provider That Vets Also Choose
When you choose PCS, you are choosing a trusted partner of veterinarians throughout Ohio. For years, veterinarians have chosen us because they know that when they partner with Pet Cremation Services, they ensure their clients’ pet cremation is handled with care according to their individual needs and budgets.
4. Choose A Provider That Offers Timely, Transparent Service
Our compassionate drivers provide a respectful and timely pickup and return service for your pet’s cremains, adhering to a strict code of ethics to ensure every step of the process is handled with care. On average, we return your pet’s remains within two business days, depending on your location.
We also make sure to keep your local veterinarian looped into every step of our process. Our VetLink system provides real-time updates on the status of your pet’s aftercare, including when they arrive at PCS and the progress of their cremains. This ensures veterinarians are kept informed throughout the process, offering you and your vet peace of mind.
5. Choose a Provider That Can Help Memorialize Your Pet
The loss of an animal can bring grief that is as profound as losing a family member. To help navigate this process, pet memorial products, such as urns and keepsakes, can provide a comforting connection to you and your lost friend. At PCS, we collaborate with top industry providers to ensure you have a variety of meaningful choices to honor your pet, including urns, jewelry, paw prints, photo frames, and more.
When you choose PCS, you are choosing to say the final goodbye to your beloved pet or horse with honor and respect. We understand that this is a deeply personal and emotional time, and we strive to support you every step of the way. By partnering with us, you are selecting a provider dedicated to treating your companion with the care they deserve and offering a range of options to help you cherish and remember them.
