My Pet Just Died, What Do I Do?
Losing a pet is heartbreaking. Whether expected or sudden, it can be overwhelming to know what to do next.
If you're searching for compassionate guidance and practical steps, you’re in the right place.
Immediate First Steps
If your pet is smaller in size, like a cat or small dog:
-
If possible, move your pet to a cool dry place
-
Gently wrap them in a towel and place them in a typical household garbage bag
-
Call Affordable Pet Cremation as soon as possible. Our number is (904) 955-8521
As soon as you call, we'll be on our way to your home for an immediate pick up, usually within 1 hour.
While You're Waiting
-
If your pet passed outside, try to bring them indoors or at least out of direct sunlight.
-
Remove any collars or other items they may be wearing
Helpful Tip: Many people don't know this, but I am often asked to cremate their pet with a favorite toy or blanket. Unlike other pet crematories, please know, that I am happy to do this upon request, at no extra charge.

Why You Should Choose Cremation Instead of Burial
I'll admit that I may be a little biased here, but I strongly recommend cremation for your pet's aftercare. Yes, burial is definitely a valid option, but there are some practical benefits of cremation to consider.
Cremation Is Portable:
What happens if you move? You don't want to leave your companion behind!
Quicker & Simpler Process:
Cremation provides a simpler and more straightforward alternative to traditional burial. Moreover, cremation removes the requirement for digging that dang hole!
Perfect for Renters:
Pet cremation is an ideal solution for renters who may not have access to a yard or land for burial. It allows loving pet owners to respectfully honor their beloved pets without the constraints of property limitations.
What to Expect After You Call
