Partitioned Cremation refers to an arrangement where more than one animal's remains are cremated in a single unit. The cremated remains of each animal are separated by a small steel barrier, which ensures that the owner receives the majority of the pet's remains. There is no guarantee that the cremated remains of every pet will be returned to their owner. Therefore, it is crucial to inform each member of the family about your wishes. Each pet receives a stainless-steel ID tag, which is then entered into a tracking program. The paperwork involved in the process is also kept for the pet's return. Signatures and dates are required to return the remains.

You should always ask about the cost of this type cremation with the funeral house staff. Witnessing services will likely cost you between $20 and $70.

Donating the body of a cat to scientific research is not just compassionate for the animal but also the student who made the donation.
