It's possible to be amazed at the cost of cremation for your pet. They can range from free up to very expensive. Although pets can't express their wishes regarding where their ashes will be scattered, you can still choose where. The most common option is to scatter your pet's ashes in the area where they spent their time. It's easy to scatter the ashes in the same place your dog spent his or her time.
Communal cremation
When your pet is gone, you will need to make a decision about whether to have it cremated privately or communally. Private cremation only incinerates one animal at a time, while communal cremation will scatter the ashes of several pets. The communal method is likely to be cheaper, regardless of your preference. However, pet parents are still cautious about the communal process due to the fact that their pet will not go with other animals.
In general, individual cat cremation costs around eighty to one hundred dollars, while communal pet cremation will cost only $30. Depending on the size of your pet, communal cremation can be much less expensive. Private cremation is a good option if you plan to keep the cat's ashes. Other options include burial or taxidermy. If you're not comfortable with communal cremation, you can have your pet cremated privately at a cemetery.
Caskets
Caskets that are used to cremate pets are often less expensive than those for humans. Caskets can be made of a variety materials including biodegradable metal, wood and metal. The casket's inside is usually sealed to keep out moisture and air. Many caskets come with attractive interiors. It may not be worth the extra cost if you intend to bury your pet directly in the ground.
Wood caskets offer the most durability and are biodegradable. You can decorate them to make them look great while still containing your pet's ashes. The casket can also be decorated with a small token of appreciation or a toy. Wooden caskets can be recycled and are green-friendly for burial. Cardboard caskets offer an affordable alternative. If you wish, you can personalize the casket.
Transfer fees
Cremation services often charge a fee for transporting the body of a deceased pet from its home to a crematorium. Most crematoria will take your pet but you could save money if you were to transport the remains yourself. According to the distance and size, most crematoria charge $45-$65 for the transfer. If you die within business hours, the transfer fee can be included in your final cremation costs.
Transfer fees can increase the cost of cremation depending on how big or small your pet is. An individual cremation can incur transfer fees that range from $50 up to $75. Large dogs can be cremated at the same time, so individual cremation is a good choice for those who prefer a more private service. Pet ashes can be collected individually, but the cremains may still mix to some degree.
