We understand that this is a deeply emotional time, and we are here to support you in every way possible. To ensure that your beloved pet’s remains are cared for with the utmost respect until the scheduled cremation, we’ve provided a few gentle guidelines below. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance—we’re here for you.
Please follow these steps to keep your pet’s remains cool and dry at home prior to bringing the remains to our facility.
- Position the remains in a curled or fetal position before rigor mortis sets in.
- After that, wrap the remains in cloth (an old towel or small blanket will do) to absorb any liquids that may seep out.
- Then wrap in plastic, at least 2 to 3 layers, making sure water will not be able to seep inside.
- Using a cooler big enough to fit the remains, put a minimum of 2 to 3 bags of ice on the bed of the cooler.
- Place a plastic lining on top of the bags of ice.
- After that, an old towel or any cloth on top of the plastic.
- Lay the wrapped remains on top of the covered ice packs, and place the lid of the cooler. Please make sure it stays covered until you bring the cooler with the remains to our facility.
Following the steps above ensures that your pet’s remains are kept cool and dry and the decomposition process is slowed down.
IMPORTANT: If the cause of death is due to an infectious or contagious disease like Parvo, Distemper, Leptospirosis or Rabies, please make sure to wear gloves when handling the remains. Cleaning the surrounding area after will also help reduce or eliminate the chances of spreading the infection to other pets or animals.
