A meaningful goodbye
A meaningful goodbye with in-home euthanasia
The relationship between people and their companion animals is a deeply emotional, and often transformative connection. They positively impact us in countless ways.
Our animals become companions, confidantes, and beloved members of our families.
During their final days, this bond becomes even more palpable, anchoring us in both love and grief.
Honour your bond with a meaningful goodbye with in-home euthanasia.
Honour your bond
It's common for us humans to have a celebration of life for a loved one who has passed. By creating a meaningful goodbye, we honour their lives and the impact they had on everyone around them.
And given the deep bond we have with our companion animals, a meaningful goodbye is a beautiful way to honour your companion during an in-home euthanasia.
It's a time for loved ones to come together to celebrate your companion's unique personality and significance rather than witness or mark their passing.
The purpose of planning a meaningful goodbye
Creating an informal ceremony for your companion serves many purposes:
Helps you and others acknowledge the passing of your beloved companion, and provides support to each other through a shared experience.
A focus on the positive contributions and impact your companion has had on your life and others.
Personal touches help bring comfort during a challenging time.
Remembrance through storytelling and anecdotes.
A safe space to feel your grief, joy, sorrow and all the emotions that come with losing a loved companion.
A connecting experience to your beloved companion's impact on your life, and those important to you and your companion.
Ideas to honour your beloved companion during your meaningful goodbye
Make the most of the days before by going for their last walk, having visits from loved ones, or giving their favourite foods.

A playlist of songs that remind you of your times together.

Have their favourite humans and animal friends present.
Display videos of birds, squirrels, beaches, or any of their favourite things to do on a nearby television or computer screen.
Reading prayers, poetry, or letters to your companion.
