Compassionate Support During Difficult Times

Whether you are preparing for a planned goodbye or facing a sudden loss, we aim to provide peace of mind by handling all aftercare details with care.
Understanding Pet Cremation Services
Pet cremation is a respectful process that allows you to choose how you want to preserve your pet’s memory. At San Juan Veterinary Hospital, cremation is performed on site by trained professionals, ensuring a secure and timely process.
We offer two types of pet cremation services:
- Communal Cremation: Your pet is cremated with others. Ashes are not returned.
- Private Memorial Cremation: Your pet is cremated individually. Ashes are returned to you in a carved wooden urn.
Both options are handled with the same level of professionalism and care, and we are available to guide you in choosing the path that best fits your wishes.
Benefits of Cremation Over Burial
While home burial is still chosen by some families, pet cremation offers several practical and emotional benefits:
- Legal and environmental compliance: Cremation avoids the legal and ecological complications of burial.
- Convenience: On-site services eliminate the need for third-party coordination.
- Memorialization: Ashes can be kept, scattered, or placed in a meaningful location.
- Peace of mind: Knowing your pet’s remains are treated with care in a trusted facility.
For those who live in areas with limited outdoor space or harsh seasonal weather, cremation provides a reliable and thoughtful solution.
