Pet Friendly Services
Your best friend should be included in your final farewell
We understand that pets are more than just animals; they are cherished members of the family. That’s why we offer pet-friendly funeral services, ensuring that every member of your family can properly say goodbye.
Pets form incredibly strong bonds with their human companions, often considering them the center of their world. Research indicates that pets can experience grief and exhibit signs of sadness and lethargy when they lose a loved one. Therefore, it’s essential to consider including your loved one’s pet in the funeral service.
Below, we’ve shared some tips on how to incorporate your loved one’s furry friend into the ceremony.
If you’d like to learn more about how to include your loved one’s “best friend” in the funeral service, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to help you honor your loved one in the most meaningful way possible.
A few things to consider
Before bringing a pet to a funeral, speak to your consultant who will help with all the little details.
- Be prepared. For dogs bring along some dog snacks, a leash and collar, water, a favourite toy (no noisy toys) and the all-important ‘poop bags’.
- Worried about disruption? If your pet is likely to disturb the service or remove your focus from the service, consider alternative ways of including them on the day.
- Allergies? Please check with your guests that none of them have pet allergies.
You can’t bring your loved one’s ‘best friend’?
In some instances bringing your loved one’s pet may not be possible, however, that does not mean they can’t be included in the service. Here are some ways to include pets:
- Prepare a memento using photos of the pet with your loved one.
- Include photos in a tribute video showing the special relationship between the pet and the deceased.
- Talk about the relationship between the pet and your loved one in the eulogy.
