Aftercare
After your pet has passed, you may choose to have your pet cremated or buried. Comfort Care Mobile partners with Forever Friends for cremation services. Prices are based on weight and is available on our services page. If you would like to use other cremation companies, you will be responsible for arrangement and transportation.
Several funeral homes in our area offer pet cremations. If you wish to use a funeral home for your pet’s aftercare, you will need to contact them directly to make arrangements.
Grief Support
It is very normal to grieve the loss of your pet. Grief can look very different for different people and in different situations. There are a lot of valuable resources to provide guidance through the grief process, describe what normal grief looks like versus when to seek additional help, support groups, and more. The following links are some credible resources to help you begin your journey.
Burial
Some people choose burial for their pets. There are pet cemeteries; you would be responsible for making any arrangements directly with them. If you choose to bury your pet instead of having them cremated, please consider the following:
- In Ohio, you are required to bury a euthanized animal at least 4 feet below the surface. You are responsible for checking and complying with your state and local ordinances regarding burial of pets as these may vary from locality to locality.
- You must be the owner of the burial site or have explicit permission from the owner to bury your pet.
- Avoid tree roots, flood lines, water sources, and utility lines. The medications used to euthanize a pet can leak into the soil.
These recommendations are in place to prevent harm to other animals, groundwater, and the community. For more information:
Cremation
Comfort Care Mobile partners with Forever Friends for cremation and memorial services. If you wish for us to arrange transportation of the body and cremation, you will be given the choice to have your pet’s ashes scattered on private property or returned to you. Forever Friends offers many wonderful memorial products. Please view their website for additional information.
If you wish to use another cremation company, you will be responsible for arranging the transportation and cremation with that company directly. Comfort Care Mobile will not be able to provide transportation to companies other than Forever Friends.
