Pet Burial & Pet Cremation Services
After Death Pet Services
Losing a dear friend is never easy. We understand that the passing of a beloved pet needs to be handled with dignity and compassion. Through years of caring, compassionate companion animal care, we understand the emotions encountered when a pet passes.
Determining what to do with your pet’s remains is always a difficult decision to make. Our goal is to help you make the right decision for you and your family and to provide you with a sense of closure. Our staff is dedicated to making this difficult time as easy for you and your family as possible. If there is any way that we can help, please let us know. Our professional services include ground burial at My Pet Memorial Park for domestic pets including; dogs, cats, birds, and small animals. In addition, private and group cremations are available.
My Pet Memorial Park
Established in 1965, My Pet Memorial Park is a final resting place for all faithful pets. Our grounds are conveniently located in the northwest suburbs of the city, nestled in the evergreens and shaded by gently swaying weeping willows.
My Pet Memorial Park is located at 10100 Church Road, Marcy, NY 13103.
Burial Arrangements
We recognize that human grief accompanies the loss of a pet, and the burial process is a natural expression of this grief helpful to both adults and children. Burial arrangements are made to suit the individual desires and financial considerations of the pet owner. Each owner’s relationship with his/her pet is unique, and therefore deserving of special attention. We have a selection of caskets and urns in various styles and prices.
Pet Cremation Services
If you choose to have your animal cremated you have two options; if you choose a private cremation your animal will be cremated alone and all of their ashes will be returned to you. If you choose a group/mass cremation your animal is cremated with other deceased pets and no ashes are returned. Both procedures must be scheduled.
Private Cremation
Your pet is cremated by itself with no other animals. All of the pet’s remains (ashes) are returned to the owners. We return the remains in a tin but can or various style urns per the owner’s request.
General / Mass Cremation
Your animal is cremated WITH other animals. There is no way to place more than one animal in a crematory at a time and the remains not contact the other animals. Due to the air flow particles will be blown around. No ashes are returned to the owner because there is no way to guarantee which pet they are from. Some places will place each animal in individual trays or place dividers between animals, there is no way to 100% guarantee that remains aren’t mixed when multiple animals are in the chamber at the same time.
How long does it take?
It takes 10 days to 2 weeks for remains to be ready for pick up from Private Cremation services.
Why does it take this long?
When an animal is cremated alone the machine has to run a full cycle which can take several, the heavier and animal weighs the longer it takes, this explains the price increase based on weight. Only so many cremations can be done in a day, so depending on the amount we have it can take time to get to you animal. They are done in the order they come in. Running cycles of multiple pets is more time efficient and that is why the cost is less.
