We are sorry for your loss.
You may be left wondering how to honor your faithful companion and cherish the memories left behind. For some owners, cremation is a good option. At Faithful Friends Pet Crematory, we understand how hard it is to say farewell to a true friend. We also know how important it is to celebrate the life of your pet in a way that is meaningful to you and your family. Whether your pet’s loss is unexpected or not, we will support you in making cremation arrangements that best suit your needs. All of our pet cremation services are provided with dignity and respect. If you are in need of our services, please contact Faithful Friends at 575-404-9600.
Our cremation choices have three options.
- Private cremation is when we place your pet alone in our cremation unit. This method often gives owners reassurance that they only get their fur baby’s ashes back. If you want to be present for the service, we will honor your wishes for an additional charge. After the cremation is finished, you can take your pet with you in the wooden urn provided or choose an upgraded style. If you don’t want to be present, we understand. It is an emotional process. We will call you when the urn is ready to be picked up or we will return the pet’s ashes to the veterinarian’s office if one was used.
- Semi-private options will also ensure you will only get your pet’s ashes. However, your dog, cat, or other pet will be placed in a separate bin in the crematory unit. Other bins will also be in there with other animals who are being cremated. Viewing the process is not available for this option. Once again, this option has a wooden urn and a brass plaque provided.
- Communal cremation is for the owners who do not want the ashes back. The animals are still put in bins for cremation, but you will not receive the cremains back and they will not be placed in an urn. The cremains are scattered into a nearby field.
Once we receive your pet, it takes roughly 7-10 days to get the ashes back. If you order a custom urn, the time increases by a week.
