Final Goodbye, Same Day, and Cremation Witnessing

Schoedinger Pet Services offers families the option of coming to our dedicated visitation space to spend a few final moments with your pet prior to cremation for a nominal fee of $100.  Your pet in carefully prepared for viewing to look at peace, just the way you want to see them. For many people, this provides a sense of comfort you may not have had when you left your pet at the veterinarian's clinic. 

Same Day service is available for families who want their pet back home as soon as possible. This service is available for $150 in addition to cremation fees; some timing restrictions apply.

Some families choose to take this a step further and witness their pet being placed in the cremation chamber.  This service is available for an additional fee of $250, includes same day service, and must be scheduled in advance.  Witnessing your pet's cremation can be an important final step for some families and cultures and can give you peace of mind about your loved one's cremation.
