Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of services do you offer?
We offer affordable end-of-life pre-planning, pet cremation, memorialization, and memorial services/funerals. We have a wide selection of unique and custom urns, cremation jewelry, keepsakes, and garden plaques. Our focus is a holistic approach, so we consider each client’s specific needs and customize care. Tell us what your ideal farewell looks like, and we will make it happen. We offer non-medical palliative care support, reiki, grief support, and beyond. We also have an In Good Hands Pet Loss grief journal and colouring book for both adults and children.
What is the difference between an individual compartment and a private cremation?
When you choose individual cremation, pets are placed into their own secure, partitioned compartment within the crematory chamber alongside other pets. Each pet is identifiable with their own bar code and other meticulous tracking technologies. When the cremation is complete, we ensure that you receive only the cremated remains of your pet. With a private cremation, only one pet is cremated at a time. Either way, when the cremation process is complete, we ensure that you receive only the cremated remains of your pet.
What do I do if my pet passes away at home or in the middle of the night?
Your companion will be fine. Take time to thank them for the love and gifts they brought into your life. Take time to bathe or groom them if you wish. Call loved ones. Your companion will be fine.
If you have other pets at home, it's very important to let them see and explore what is happening. Animals grieve just like we do. Let them have their final goodbyes.
To care for their body, gently place them on a towel, pee pads, blanket, or bed sheet. As their organs shut down, it is normal for bodily fluids to exit their nose and mouth. It is normal for their bladder or bowels to release.
Keep them cool and away from heat vents, place ice packs over their bellies if they will be home for a prolonged amount of time. Keep them dry—avoid direct ice.
I am open 7 days a week and all holidays, always offering same-day appointments. You can call, text, or email me to make an appointment.
Make a list of items you'd like cremated or buried with them. Include photos, small organic toys, treats, plant medicine, flowers, photos, or love notes. Honour them.
I'm always free to discuss options and here to support you regardless if you choose my services. Pre-planning is free and can really help make difficult decisions easier. DM, call, or text me to book a free 15-minute consultation.
