Pet Cremation Services
Private family goodbyes
Saying goodbye is never easy. At Turner & Porter we have a special facility which is separate from the funeral home where the family of a pet can say their goodbye. Our Pet Centre facility used to be a family home, so you can expect an environment similar to your own home instead of a clinical environment. Because we feel this is so important, we encourage you to bring your family members and friends with you.
Individual Cremation
As a local, family-owned funeral home, we can assure you that your pet will be treated with dignity and respect. All cremations are serviced in individualized compartments in a facility for pet cremations exclusively. Upon completion of the cremation, your pet's cremated remains are removed from the chamber, and returned to you. We will care for your beloved companion with the same reverence as we would treat any other member of your family. Should you wish, we can arrange for your family to witness the cremation process.
Family Witnessed Private Cremation
Some families request to be present and witness the cremation.
If this is important to you, please speak to our representative about scheduling a time to do so. At the crematory, you are welcome to be present at the time your pet’s body is being placed inside the crematory, the door closed and process started. The actual cremation inside is not viewed.
Pet memorial gatherings
As when any member of the family dies, it is important to take time to reflect and remember. This is something you may prefer to do with just a few members of your family or include a group of friends for a time to share memories.
The services you select are entirely up to you, and that’s why we work with you to create services that meet your needs and desires.
