Pet Cremation & Burial Services

Pet Cremation & Burial Services
Some of our clients feel that cremation simplifies the burial of their pet, some enjoy the portability that cremation allows by selecting custom urns to keep in their homes or offices, and others plan to have their pet placed with them when the time comes. Whatever your particular needs, our goal is to provide dignified, caring service for your pet.

It is our mission to help you with some important decisions with a spirit of deep respect at a time which may be difficult. Your trusted veterinarian can assist in making arrangements for you with the Ferguson Funeral Home. We are here to help make a difficult time easier.

The Loss of A Pet
Ferguson Funeral Home Pet Cremations provides safe and humane disposition of your pet after it’s passing. Your pet was a member of your family and you care what happens to them. The loss of a loved family pet is always an emotional and difficult experience. What consideration should you show your pet’s remains?

Just as you care about your pet’s health and comfort today, you are concerned with the safe and humane disposition of the pet after its passing. We anticipate your concern by offering crematory services to answer this need. Humane and safe, cremation is the accepted manor of disposition.

What We Offer
We offer private cremation. When we perform a private cremation, only one pet at a time is in our crematory. All of the pet’s ashes, and only that pet’s ashes, are returned to the owner. The included remains are returned in a steel paw print urn, however, we do offer many other urns as an option. If an owner chooses to, he or she can be present for the private creation of the pet. There is no charge for this, but we do need to schedule an appointment time so are able to allow the pet owner enough time with his pet before the cremation begins. This time alone can be spent in our chapel. We know that the time you spend saying goodbye to your pet is precious.

In addition to the private cremation, we also offer pet prearrangement plans. Please feel free to contact us regarding our prearrangement pet plan. The death of a pet is hard enough. Having everything planned may take some stress off of the situation when the time comes.
