Organising a pet funeral or remembrance service for your pet
At Dignity we have always believed that we should be there to tailor our service to your needs. Whilst many families bring their pets to us and have their own private goodbyes in our Farewell Room some people prefer a more structured religious or non religious goodbye.
Over the years we have been touched by the many different ways people have given their pets a final farewell including Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist and other non religious services that have taken place in our grounds.
We now work with Heartsease Pet Ceremonies to help you organise a pet funeral or remembrance service.
PLEASE NOTE: Although we ask you to contact Heartsease directly to make the final arrangements it is very important that you let us know you would like a remembrance service so that we can coordinate everything for you.
HEARTSEASE PET CEREMONIES
Heartsease Pet Ceremonies was started by Hilary Kear, a trained ceremony officiant who was asked to conduct a funeral for a friend's beloved dog. It prompted her to look into what services were available to other pet owners who were mourning the loss of their pet. She discovered that there were no structured services for people to choose from and so she decided to start Heartsease for those owners who might find such a service comforting. Hilary chose the name “Heartsease” after the Heartsease flower which is a type of pansy. It is associated with peacefulness, serenity and remembrance which represent the service being provided.
Hilary says “Many people consider their pets as members of the family, love them dearly and are profoundly distressed by their deaths. Whether or not you have a religious faith, holding some kind of funeral or farewell ceremony to acknowledge your loss and celebrate the life of your pet can help you find comfort and peace.”
To find out more about the services I offer just contact me either by email at heartseasepetceremonies@gmail.com, via my Facebook page or telephone 07964 942018.
If you would like a printed order of service then this can be provided for a small additional cost. It will include any hymns, readings and poems as well as a photograph of your pet.
