Cremation Services:
At Monterey Bay LovedPet we understand that
you consider your pet a family member. There are confusing and
difficult choices in after-life services.
We know that when a
loss occurs there is a need to do something. Monterey Bay LovedPet staff
live next door to our Park so we have staff available 24/7. Feel
free to call anytime, day or night. Your call will almost always be
answered by a live person, not a voice mail recording. No other local pet
cemetery/crematorium offers this level of service.
Cremation Services:
To assure proper
care for your pet, Monterey Bay LovedPet offers:
★ Private Owner Attended Cremations:
We provide
completely private pet cremations at our Park. You will have the
exclusive (Private) use of our crematorium for your pet without any
others inside. You may bring your departed companion to us or we are
happy to remove your pet from your property or veterinarian’s office.
This service allows
you to be with your dear friend on their final journey and witness as
much (or as little) of the cremation process as you wish. We explain
everything up front and give you plenty of opportunity to say goodbye.
With this special, fully Private service, you are able to bring your
faithful companion home the same day in your choice of custom engraved ,
hand-crafted urns. A Certificate of Private Cremation is provided
to you along with a copy of the remarkable “Rainbow Bridge” poem.
★ Individual Cremations:
Individual cremation
services are available for pets of all sizes, even horses. You may bring
your pet directly to the Park or we will remove your pet from your
property or veterinarian’s office. Your pet will be cremated in its own
secure space within our crematorium.
You can be sure our
staff will treat your pet with care and compassion, even if you are not
present. Your pet’s cremains will be ready to return home within
two to three days in your choice of an engraved urn.
★ Communal Cremations:
Communal (group)
cremation services are provided for pet owners preferring to have their
pets remains scattered in the Garden of Companions at our Park in the
northern Monterey County foothills.
A Certificate of
Communal Cremation is available if desired. Many pet owners who choose
communal (group) cremation also choose a Memorial Plaque on our Wall of
Memories at the Park, or another memorial product.
It is not uncommon
for a pet’s owner to “check around” to ensure they are providing the best
service for their departed friend. We encourage that.
We have been serving
pet owners at this same location for more than 50 years. Our Park
is rare as it is what is referred to as a “Green Grass” Pet Cemetery with
Crematorium. We have in excess of 5,000 pets buried on these
hallowed grounds and more join us every month. In the last few
years several local businessmen have decided to exploit pet afterlife
care strictly for the profit they can glean. How do you know the
difference when most everyone refers to themselves as “caring” or
“dedicated” or "loving” and so on? To us, the true tests are:
Are they honest or
do they shade the truth with glib wording.
Will they let you be
present when your pet is actually cremated? If not, why?
Where are they
located? Are they hidden away in a steel or concrete industrial
building because of cheap rent or secreted in the mountains far from you?
We live by a precept
espoused by the late President Reagan: “Trust yes, but verify”. This is
your pet so ask the hard questions and don’t accept glib excuses when
taking your pet on that final journey.
★ Grief Counseling Resources:
Losing a pet is
often devastating to pet owners and they can feel isolated in their
grief. Family and friends may not know or understand the impact the loss
of a pet can have and don’t know how to react to grieving pet owners.
Monterey Bay
LovedPet offers comfort and aid to grieving owners by understanding and
offering help during a very difficult time. You need only speak
with our Licensed on-staff Grief Counselor.
