We are proud to offer the most compassionate and professional cremation services available. Whether you are planning, or your needs are immediate, we are here to support and guide you through the difficult process of honouring and remembering your pet.

Private Cremation

There are many reasons to choose private cremation as a meaningful way to memorialize your pet. With private cremation, your pet’s cremated remains are returned to you as a lasting, cherished keepsake or to scatter in a special place. When you choose private cremation with Pets Forver, you have the assurance that you are receiving only your pet’s cremated remains. We are a member of PLPA (Pet Loss Professionals Alliance) and as such, we adhere to a strict code of ethics. We welcome you to meet us and visit our facilities.

Communal Cremation

Communal cremation is when your pet is cremated with other loved pets. In this case, the ashes cannot be returned to you. The ashes are spread on our peaceful acreage, completing the circle of life.

Witnessed Cremation

With this option, you have the opportunity to be present during the cremation process. In a private room, you can bid your final farewell to your pet in a way that feels right for you. We are open to accommodating any rituals or personal preferences you may have, while ensuring safety standards are met. During the process, you can choose to press the cremation machine button or simply observe. Please be aware that the cremation process may take several hours, and you will need to return to collect your pet’s ashes or have the opportunity to have them delivered. Before booking a witness cremation, we recommend reading the document provided to help you prepare for the emotional aspects of this experience. If you plan to bring children, please have a conversation with them beforehand to address any potential concerns or fears. For those unable to be physically present, we offer a video cremation option, allowing you to witness the entire process remotely.

Final Farewell

To accommodate your needs during this difficult and emotional time, we offer you the opportunity to say your final farewell to your beloved pet at a private viewing and visitation. A quiet area is available at our facility to accommodate family and friends that would like to share a meaningful goodbye for your faithful companion. Families are welcome to stay during the cremation process, providing the peace-of-mind they may need during this time of grieving. To arrange for a viewing and visitation of your pet, contact Halo Pet Cremation and we will be happy to accommodate your needs.

Certificate of Cremation

Pets Forever includes a certificate of Cremation (at no charge) with every private cremation. Cremations are performed by a trained cremation specialist, and we guarantee that only your pet’s ashes are returned to you.

Keepsake Pawprint

A pawprint impression of your pet can be taken before the cremation takes place. Please see our products page for price. Or a small tuft of hair can be clipped as a keepsake. There is no charge for this service.

Final Farwell

Losing a pet is an incredibly tough experience, and deciding what to do afterward can be challenging. During this time, it’s crucial to prioritize self-care and provide support to your family and friends. Remember these key points:

Take Your Time: Don’t feel pressured to make quick decisions. Give yourself the space to process your pet’s passing and think about how you want to bid them farewell.

Lean on Your Support System: Reach out to your loved ones for emotional support. Talking about your pet and the memories you shared can be comforting.

Prioritize Self-Care: Make sure you’re taking care of your physical and emotional well-being. Grieving can be draining, so ensure you’re eating well, resting, and engaging in activities that bring you solace.

Explore Your Options: When you’re ready, get in touch with your veterinarian or a pet cremation service. They can guide you through the available choices for your pet’s final goodbye, whether it’s burial, cremation, or another meaningful memorial.

Allow Yourself to Grieve: Understand that grieving is a unique and personal journey. It’s completely normal to experience a wide range of emotions, and there’s no specific timetable for healing.

In the end, what matters most is finding a way to honor your pet’s memory that feels right for you and your family. Whether it’s a simple ceremony, a heartfelt memorial, or a special keepsake, the love and bond you shared with your pet will always hold a special place in your heart.

 I hope this alternative presentation helps convey the importance of self-care and thoughtful decision-making during this challenging time.

Breaking the power of guilt

Losing a pet can be an incredibly difficult and emotional experience, and feelings of guilt are not uncommon. It’s important to remember that grief is a complex and personal process, and there is no right or wrong way to feel. Here are some steps to help you cope with the power of guilt after losing a pet:

Acknowledge Your Feelings: Recognize that guilt is a natural part of the grieving process. It’s okay to feel this way, and it doesn’t mean you did anything wrong.

Reflect on Your Relationship: Take some time to reflect on the relationship you had with your pet. Remember the love and care you provided and the happy moments you shared. This can help you appreciate the positive aspects of your time together.

Seek Support: Talk to friends and family members who understand your bond with your pet. Sharing your feelings with someone who empathizes can provide comfort and validation.

Professional Help: If guilt is overwhelming and interfering with your daily life, consider seeking support from a therapist or counselor. They can provide guidance and tools to help you manage your emotions.

Memorialize Your Pet: Create a memorial or tribute to your pet. This could involve making a scrapbook, planting a tree, or writing a letter expressing your feelings and memories.

Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself during this challenging time. Understand that you did your best to provide for your pet, and you are not to blame for their passing.

Consider Volunteering or Donating: Some people find solace in volunteering at an animal shelter or donating to an animal-related charity in their pet’s memory. It can be a way to honor your pet’s legacy.

Give Yourself Time: Grief doesn’t have a set timeline. Healing takes time, and it’s different for everyone. Allow yourself to grieve at your own pace.

Create a Supportive Environment: Surround yourself with people who understand and support your grieving process. Avoid individuals who dismiss your feelings or make you feel guilty.

Remember the Good Times: Celebrate the joy your pet brought into your life. Share stories and reminisce about the happy moments you shared.

Consider a New Pet: Eventually, if you feel ready and it aligns with your lifestyle, consider adopting a new pet. This doesn’t replace your lost pet but can offer a new source of companionship and love.

Remember that healing is a gradual process, and it’s okay to have ups and downs. Guilt may come and go, but with time and self-compassion, you can learn to cope with it and cherish the memories of your beloved pet. If your guilt becomes overwhelming or leads to severe emotional distress, don’t hesitate to seek professional help to navigate your grief.

Defining quality of life of your pet

Defining the quality of life for your pet is essential to ensure their well-being and make informed decisions regarding their care. The quality of life for a pet can vary depending on their species, breed, age, and individual needs, but there are some common factors to consider:

Physical Health: The most fundamental aspect of a pet’s quality of life is their physical well-being. This includes ensuring they have a balanced diet, regular exercise, and access to clean water. Regular veterinary check-ups and prompt treatment of any health issues are crucial.

Mental Stimulation: Pets, especially intelligent ones like dogs and cats, need mental stimulation. This can be achieved through interactive toys, training sessions, and exposure to new experiences and environments.

Emotional Well-Being: Pets can experience a range of emotions, including happiness, fear, anxiety, and loneliness. Providing a safe and loving environment, social interaction, and companionship are important for their emotional health.

Comfort and Safety: Ensure that your pet has a comfortable and safe living space. This includes a suitable shelter or living area, proper bedding, and protection from extreme weather conditions.

Hygiene and Grooming: Regular grooming and hygiene maintenance are essential for your pet’s comfort and health. This includes brushing, bathing, and keeping their living area clean.

Nutrition: Providing a balanced diet that meets your pet’s nutritional needs is crucial. Consult with a veterinarian to determine the best diet for your pet’s age, breed, and any specific health concerns.

Pain Management: Be vigilant about identifying and addressing any signs of pain or discomfort in your pet. Chronic pain or untreated illnesses can significantly affect their quality of life.

Socialization: Many pets thrive on social interaction with other animals and humans. Ensure that your pet has opportunities for socialization to prevent loneliness and boredom.

Freedom and Exercise: Pets need opportunities to exercise and explore their environment. Dogs, for example, require regular walks and playtime in a safe area.

Life Stage Considerations: The quality of life for a pet may change as they age. Senior pets may require different care and accommodations to maintain a good quality of life.

Palliative Care: In cases of serious illness or advanced age, palliative care may be necessary to keep your pet comfortable and pain-free. Consult with your veterinarian to discuss options.

Monitoring and Adaptation: Regularly assess your pet’s well-being and be prepared to adapt their care as their needs change over time.

It’s important to remember that the concept of quality of life for pets is not one-size-fits-all and can vary greatly from one individual to another. Paying close attention to your pet’s behavior, health, and happiness is key to ensuring they have the best possible quality of life throughout their years as your companion. Consulting with a veterinarian for guidance and regular check-ups is also essential to address any specific needs or health concerns your pet may have.
