Individual vs Communal Pet Cremation: Which is Best?

There are two options available when you’re planning pet cremation for your dear pet: individual and communal pet cremation. But what do these terms mean and which is best for your pet? If you’re unsure, we’ll walk you through the differences in this post so you can decide what type of pet cremation you want for your pet in Uttoxeter.

Individual pet cremation

If you choose individual pet cremation, your pet will be cremated alone in a private cremation. You’ll get their ashes back in an urn or scatter box of your choosing, knowing that it’s only your pet in the ashes.

This is a more expensive option because it’s a private service. However, if you want to take your pet’s ashes home, this is the service for you. Many owners like to know that their pet received their own cremation and can then scatter the ashes or keep them in an urn as a tribute.

Communal pet cremation

If you choose communal pet cremation, your pet will be cremated alongside other pets. This means you won’t get your pet’s ashes back in an urn, instead, they will be scattered around the ground of our pet cemetery which is in the heart of the Staffordshire countryside.

This is a more cost-effective option than individual cremation, and many owners like the idea of their pets being cremated alongside other animals. It can feel less lonely to some.

If you don’t want your pet’s ashes back, this is a good option for you and you can be at peace knowing your pet has been scattered across the rolling countryside here at our lovingly-kept cemetery.

Burial or scattering

If you decide to go for individual cremation, you can have your pet’s ashes buried at our cemetery and choose a loving stone memorial to mark their gravesite.

If you prefer communal cremation, we’ll respectfully scatter your pet’s ashes for you on our grounds. This is a beautiful place for ashes to be scattered and a wonderful final resting place for all types of pets.
