Aftercare
Aftercare for your beloved companion
Making final arrangements for your companion is very difficult. And is a testament to your love. In addition to planning your meaningful goodbye with in-home euthanasia, an important and deeply personal decision you will need to make is your companion's aftercare.
We encourage families to make these decisions as part of their planning process. Once your decision has been made, we organize the details on your behalf so you can focus on what really matters - your companion.
It’s our honour to support your family.
A partnership in aftercare and cremation
In partnership with Gateway Pet Memorial, the leading and most trusted pet aftercare provider in Canada, aftercare services are provided with dignity and respect. Your companion's aftercare is handled with great compassion and sensitivity, helping you find a lasting sense of peace and comfort.
Their team adheres to a strict code of ethics and exemplary standards of operation with every companion cremation. Gateway's modern facility and gold-standard tracking process ensures your companion is safe throughout this part of their journey. You can count on a high level of accountability.
Aftercare options
Following your meaningful goodbye, we understand how important it is that your companion is treated with great respect and care during this part of their journey. These last acts of kindness are entrusted to us and Gateway, and it is our honour to support your family.
In addition to the in-home euthanasia procedure, we organize the aftercare for your family. We transport your companion to Gateway for their aftercare.
There are two options available:
Communal cremation
Your companion is placed into a communal chamber, alongside other beloved companions, and their ashes are scattered on a private farm in the Fraser Valley.
Private cremation
Your companion is placed in a private chamber and your companion's ashes are placed into a complimentary or other urn of your choosing. There are five complementary urns from which to choose. Your companion will be ready to go home within 5-10 business days. Your companion's cremated remains will be returned in your selected urn, along with a certificate of cremation, authenticating that your companion was cremated at Gateway Pet Memorial.
Additional aftercare options
Some families are interested in additional services, including same-day cremation, private viewing, and personal transport of their companion. If there are some specific memorial wishes you'd like for your companion, we're here to guide and support your family along this journey.
Urns and keepsakes
Every family has their own special way of remembering their beloved companion.
