What is the difference between private and communal cremation?+
In a private cremation, your pet is cremated individually, and the ashes are returned to you in an urn or keepsake of your choosing. In communal cremation, multiple pets are cremated together, and ashes are not returned. Both options are handled with dignity and respect.
