Urns of all shapes, sizes, and
colors for different pets are available at the Artful Memorials in Eagan city
of Minnesota, United States.
Sometimes people love their pets,
they see their pets as equivalent to humans who deserve a dignified death.
While an estimated two million
people flocked to cemeteries across Eagan province for the commemoration of All
Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day this year, some found themselves in columbaries,
where the cremated remains of their loved ones were laid to rest.
But cremation or the process of
burning the remains of the dead to ash is no longer just limited to humans.
As Eagan keeps pace with
modernization, there is a place in Eagan City which offers cremation services
solely for pets of any kind, from small birds to large dogs.
For a cremation fee of
P8,000-P15,000, depending on the size and weight of the pet, Artful Memorials
provides complimentary urns for human ashes with additional services, such as preserving
the paw print, as a keepsake.
Pet owners could also opt to keep
part of the ashes in chain lockets that can be worn around their necks.
According to Artful Memorials,
badly wanted to have his beloved pet cremated but did not know of any place
that offered pet cremation keepsakes in Eagan at that time.
Sometimes people love their pets,
they see their pets as equivalent to humans who deserve a dignified death.
Artful added that the owners’
human-like treatment of their dead pets helps to give them closure in their
time of grief.
There are some who wait here
while their dog is being cremated with the entire family bringing food to share
and mourning the dog the way we all do for humans.
The crematorium is heated up to
1500 degrees Celsius, enough to dehydrate the animal’s body and turn it into
ashes.
