There are many types of cat cremation. You can opt for a communal cremation or a partitioned one, and you can even donate the cat's body for scientific research. There are many choices available, so you can choose whether you want your cat's ashes to be scattered in the garden or placed in a favourite spot. Below are more details about cremation. Even a public ceremony can be held if you want.
Communal cremation
If your cat passed away, you may be wondering about communal cremation. This is a method of cremating multiple animals in one place. During the process, your cat's cremains are actively mixed with that of other animals. The cremains of your cat would be mixed with those of other animals during the process. You would not be allowed to take your cat's remains. There are a few options.
Depending on the cat's size and weight, communal cremation costs can run as low as $30 to $50. You can opt for private cremation if you don't plan to keep your pet’s ashes. If you want to preserve the cat's ashes, taxidermy, or burial, are two options. These options are not as affordable as communal cremation.
Partitioned Cremation
A Partitioned Cremation is an arrangement in which more than one animal's body is cremated in a larger unit. The owner is entitled to the majority cremated remains. A small steel barrier separates the animal's remains. The cremation process does not guarantee that every animal's remains will be returned to its owner. It is therefore important to communicate the wishes of all family members. The process includes a stainless steel ID tag for each pet, which is entered into a tracking system. The paperwork used in this process is also kept for the pet’s return. The remains must be returned with signatures and dates.
Prices for Partitioned Cremation depend on the size of the cat and the breed. It is a more affordable option than a communal cremation, which incinerates all the bodies of an animal in one furnace. You should always ask about the cost of this type cremation with the funeral house staff. You may also need to pay a witnessing fee. This can cost anywhere from $20 to $60, but it could be worth it if the service allows you to witness cremation.
Donating a cat's carcass for scientific research
When you donate a cat's body to scientific research, you can save a life and improve the lives of future cats. Although cat heart disease and human heart disease are not the same, discoveries made through research on cats can benefit humans. The Cat Organ Donation Program was established to find cures for cat-related heart disease. Its team of veterinarians and doctors includes PennMedicine.
The act of donating a cat's body for scientific research is not only kind to the animal but also for the student. By making a donation to the medical school, the student is teaching the students about animal kindness, and in return, they will learn to do the same. Once the students graduate, they will always appreciate the animal they studied, and they will continue to show kindness to the animals they continue to heal.
