A Guide to Agape Pet Cremation
Working through the loss of a pet can be an incredibly tough time in everyone's life. Agape pet cremation provides a thoughtful, respectful way to say goodbye to your beloved companion.
Understanding Pet Cremation
pet cremation is a process that reduces the remains of a pet to ashes through high heat and evaporation, a process similar to human cremation. Advanced crematories use powerful burners — around 1400 and 1800 degrees Fahrenheit — to complete the cremation. The process is safe and respectful, aimed at allowing pet owners to keep a part of their beloved companion with them.
- Cremation is a way to respect your pet's memory while following environmental guidelines.
- The process is quick and usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the pet.
- After cremation, the ashes are placed in a secured urn or any container of your choice for safekeeping.
