Please find detailed below the various Services offered by Pets In Heaven ®:

Pet Cremation:
Individual cremation of your loved pet is guaranteed. I also provide each pet owner with a “Pets In Heaven ® –‘ In Memory’ - Cremation Certificate". Each pet’s ashes can be returned in either an attractive imported wooden ashes box, (click here to see) or you may prefer to have your pet’s ashes returned in a tasteful container allowing you to scatter your pet’s ashes whenever you’re ready.

Some things to consider about Pet Cremation: These days cremation of a cherished pet seems to be the option preferred by many pet owners. Some pet owners scatter their loved pets ashes in a favorite park or along the beach or in their garden, while many other pet owners keep their pets ashes inside and place them on a mantle piece or on a side table or next to their bed.

Having your pets ashes in an urn means you are able to take them with you if you ever have to move house and some people are now writing in their will to have their pets ashes cremated with them. Other pet owners bury their pet’s urn in the garden in place of a burial, making it easier to retrieve if ever they relocate and it saves having to pay for a casket and to have a large hole dug.

If cremation is your choice, I assure you that your loved pet is cremated individually! The ashes you receive are guaranteed to be those of your pet. Our cremator does not practice multiple cremations!

Pet Home Burial:
At Pets In Heaven ® I offer you locally made pet caskets in small, medium and large sizes for your pet’s home burial. Each is unique and the prices vary. I can offer you advice and suggestions in relation to preparation for a pet burial. At this stage, I do not have the facilities for a pet cemetery.

Some things to consider with a pet home burial or pet cemetery: Although a smaller percentage, some people prefer to have their loved pet buried at home or at a pet cemetery.
If this is your choice and you wish to bury your pet at home please think very carefully about where you are going to dig your pet’s grave and be sure to check the location of power and gas cables that run underground. It may be a very good idea to call a company such as “Dial before you Dig” or call a professional to dig the grave. Also beware of other animals digging up your pet's remains and also consider the possibility of future subdivision of the land or what if you have to move? As well, in some cases, you may need to get council approval. As an alternative some clients have chosen cremation and bury or place the urn of their loved pet (sealed in a plastic container etc.) and bury it in a special place in their garden. This way, you can take your beloved pet with you wherever you go.

If you prefer to have your pet buried at a pet cemetery, then keep in mind that you may also
be charged for the plot, a casket and on-going maintenance costs in relation to the upkeep of your pets grave site. With the cost of land being so expensive these days you may have to travel quite a distance out of the CBD to find a pet cemetery as the local pet cemeteries I contacted are now full.

Pet Collection: I offer a service tailored to meet your needs and wishes. I will collect your beloved pet from your home or I can liaise with the veterinarian of your choice to collect your pet from their clinic in my unique and elegant Pets In Heaven ® vehicle. If we are to meet at your vet’s clinic please ensure that your vet is aware that you have already made arrangements for Pets In Heaven ® to collect your loved pet once he or she has passed away and for the cremation of your pet. I am also able to meet you at a designated location, which is very popular for many pet owners who live out in the country area's.

Some things to consider about pet collection: While most of my clients prefer to have their loved pet collected from their home, sadly some clients don't have that option as their pet may have passed away at the vet clinic. If you wish you CAN ask the vet if you can take your pet back home after it has passed away and then book us to come to your home. Some pet owners feel more comfortable doing this and it allows them to spend a little more time with their loved pet. There are also some clients who prefer to be away from their home to say farewell and may wish to meet us at their vet’s or at some other location. Also, some pet owners prefer to not be present when I collect their pet but they have the peace of mind knowing their pet is treated and handled with the best of care and dignity and they are giving their loved pet the most beautiful farewell. (If this is your choice, I will always call you to let you know I have arrived at the vet clinic and that your loved pet is now with us on it's final journey)

At Pets In Heaven ® I understand some pet owners may also prefer a simple collection with no fuss and to keep things low key. I will work with you to provide the exact service you require, so please let us know when booking my services. Phone: 0402 466 988

Pets In Heaven ® can meet you where ever you feel comfortable. When meeting at your vet’s, I usually arrange to meet at the rear in a quiet area of the car park. I then liaise with your vet and take my lovely satin lined pet basket into the clinic and gently place your pet into my Pets In Heaven ® basket so it's comfortable and ready for you to view. From there most pet owners usually like to carry their pet out to my vehicle. (or I can do this for you)

You are then given the private time you need to say your final farewells. Some pet owners sit at the rear of my vehicle and cuddle or snuggle their friend, and spend a peaceful few minutes listening to soft music and remembering all the wonderful times they shared..

You are never hurried and for some people a few moments are enough, whereas others need a little more time. To be able to offer pet owners such a unique and caring service is my privilege at Pets In Heaven ®. I know how much you loved your friend, so I do my best to provide a soft and peaceful setting for you to say farewell.

Exhumation:
I can assist you with your pets exhumation and also provide a cremation of your pets remains and return of their ashes.
