Aftercare

Options for aftercare

Burial At Home

Burial on your own property is allowed – each council may have their own regulations. 

If you are renting you would need the permission of the landowner. 

Your pet would need to be buried in a deep enough hole that no other animal could unearth them. Their body will contain the medications that have been administered as part of the euthanasia process, and would be a poison to any other animal that ingests their body. 

Avoid areas that are near a watercourse. 

Cremation

Cornerstone Pet Crematorium offers cremation. 

Individual cremation means that your pet is cremated individually, and you would have your pet’s ashes thoughtfully presented in a velvet bag, safely tucked in a securely labelled package for collection.

Communal cremation is where your pet is cremated with other animals and buried together – you would not have your pet’s ashes returned to you.

You may organise this directly with Cornerstone, or I can transport and organise the cremation for you. (Very large dogs may need to be picked up by Cornerstone.)
