Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy. At Rainbow Bridge Pet Funerals, we understand the depth of the bond you shared and the importance of a respectful, heartfelt farewell.
One of the most important aspects of planning your pet’s cremation is understanding the difference between communal and individual cremations. Although both options are available within the pet aftercare industry, at Rainbow Bridge Pet Funerals, we offer only individual, private cremations. Here's why that matters.
What Is Communal Pet Cremation?
In a communal cremation, multiple pets are cremated together. Because of this, it is not possible to separate or return your pet’s ashes. While this may be a more economical option offered by some providers, it does not allow for personal keepsakes or the return of your pet’s remains.
At Rainbow Bridge, we believe that every pet deserves a dignified farewell and a cremation process as unique as the bond they shared with their family. That is why we do not offer communal cremations.
What Is Individual Pet Cremation?
An individual cremation, also known as a private cremation, means your pet is cremated entirely on their own. This ensures that the ashes you receive are solely those of your pet, handled with the greatest care and respect throughout the process.
We return your pet’s ashes to you in a casket, urn, or keepsake of your choosing, allowing you to keep them close, scatter them in a meaningful place, or create a personal memorial.
At Rainbow Bridge Pet Funerals, our individual cremations provide peace of mind, knowing your cherished companion is honoured with the utmost dignity from start to finish.
A Personal and Respectful Farewell
We know how much your pet meant to you, and our aim is to help you say goodbye in a way that brings comfort and lasting remembrance. From collection to cremation, every step is handled by a caring and experienced team devoted entirely to individual, private cremations.
