After-Care Services
This body has been the faithful home of a beautiful spirit. Whatever your choice for the care of you pet’s body, it will be handled with respect and dignity befitting the one who lived there.
We offer a few options for your family animal services. We understand how important your pets are to you, and want your last moments with your pets to be special. Our pet cremation services and pet burial options provide the most compassionate care for you.
PRIVATE CREMATION
Pet Meadow cremates each pet by themselves in their own pet cremation chamber. This is to be sure that you receive your pet and only your pet’s ashes back. We do not offer Individual or Segregated cremation, only True Private Cremation. At Pet Meadow we utilize a state of the art 10 chamber pet crematorium and highly innovative tracking system. We will return your pet’s remains in our standard wooden urn. If you prefer, a permanent personalized pet urn can be selected from our website. Alternatively, you can select one by visiting the urn display at our facility.

VIEWING
Viewing your pet prior to cremation can be an important part of the grieving process. Our private viewing room is a place where your family can gather to say goodbye to your cherished pet.
ATTENDED CREMATION
Your presence at the time of cremation is welcome. Schedule by calling our office.
COMMUNIAL CREMATION
This process involves cremating your pet simultaneously along with other pets. As a result, we do not return the remains. Instead, they are gently scattered at our pet memorial park.
PET BURIAL SERVICES
Formal burial of your pet is available including casket and granite marker. A deed restriction and maintenance fees ensure the continuation of the cemetery. You can make arrangements by calling our office. Burial is only available at our Hamilton office.
BURIAL OF CREMAINS
Smaller plots are available to accommodate cremains and a granite marker. This provides a permanent resting place for your pet. Burial of cremains is only available at our Hamilton office.
TRANSPORTATION
We will gently transport your pet from your veterinarian’s office or your home to our facility.
PRE-NEED PLANNING
We know that the loss of a pet is a very emotionally difficult time. For this reason, we suggest that pet owners think about after-care options before the need arises.
You can make arrangements with us ahead of time. As a result, you can decide on your wishes during a time of calm, rather than crisis. Lastly, we encourage you to call us anytime for pre-planning of pet burial services or pet cremation services.
