\"pet<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Regardless of how a pet passes, their family mourns the transition from life to death. This event raises questions about how to properly memorialize their best friend, in a way that honors their life and the powerful impact<\/a> they had. A pet\u2019s funeral or memorial can provide a place for grief to settle, and honors their legacy. Letting go of a pet is never easy, but environmentally friendly pet memorials can symbolize a pet\u2019s zest for life, nature, and beauty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Green Pet Cremation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An eco-friendly alternative to traditional cremation is green pet cremation. Instead of high-heat fire, green cremation uses water and alkalinity to achieve bio cremation, or alkaline hydrolysis (the natural process of remains that takes decades). Green pet cremation does not burn fossil fuels, and no greenhouse gasses are emitted during the process. Ashes are returned to a pet\u2019s family in any urn of their choosing for scattering<\/a> or long-term storage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out A Greener Place Pet Cremation<\/a> (right here in Mesa, AZ) for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living Urns and More<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A wonderful way to keep a pet\u2019s ashes close to home, but part of something alive and beautiful, is through a Living Urn<\/a>. Choose between a tree for our zip code to plant in the ground, a pot for the patio, or inside a container for a houseplant. Check out their extensive collection<\/a> for options. Whether you decide on a stately river birch or a flowering rose-of-sharon, a pet\u2019s legacy will live on in the tree\u2019s growth and vitality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biodegradable Pet Urns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether you search on Amazon or Etsy, there are hundreds of biodegradable pet urns to choose from. Some are made out of paper or cardboard, others may be bamboo. Either way, placing a pet\u2019s ashes inside a biodegradable urn ensures that the earth absorbs the natural components of the urn, breaking them down over time, and allowing the pet\u2019s ashes to fully integrate with the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earth Memorials<\/a> float on water for 10-15 seconds before absorbing the water and sinking beneath the surface. Once submerged, the urn and ashes fully dissolve and become one with the body of water a pet loved the most in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural Pet Burial Grounds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Bridge Pet Cemetery<\/a> in Scottsdale has meaningful burial options for pets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are able to bury a pet at home, it is ideal to apply the same rules at natural pet burial grounds. Always check your community\u2019s rules and regulations to ensure safe decomposition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable Pet Memorials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The choice to memorialize a pet is deeply personal. However you decide to move forward, please know that your friends<\/a> at Curem Veterinary Care<\/a> are always here to assist you before, during, and after the experience. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
