Aftercare Preparations for Pets

Honoring Your Pet with Dignity, Compassion, and Care

Overview

Saying goodbye to a beloved companion is one of the most emotional decisions a family makes. Planning your pet’s aftercare is a meaningful way to honor their life, reflect the love they gave you, and provide peace of mind during a difficult time. 

At Greener Pastures Hospice Care, we help families choose a respectful aftercare option that aligns with their wishes, personal beliefs, and the bond they share with their pet.

Pet Aftercare and Cremation Services in Springfield & Branson, MO

Guiding families through meaningful memorial choices with dignity and care.

We offer guidance and support in selecting the aftercare service that feels right for your family. There are three options for handling your pet’s remains, each providing a dignified way to honor their memory.

Private Cremation

Your pet is cremated individually, and their ashes are returned to you in a keepsake urn or box, complete with an engraved name plate. This option is ideal for families who want a memorial they can keep close.

Communal Cremation

Multiple pets are cremated together, and ashes are respectfully scattered by the crematorium. Ashes are not returned, but this provides a meaningful and cost-effective option for families who do not wish to keep remains.

Burial at Home

Burial allows families to create a personal memorial on their own property. We can discuss local ordinances and guidelines to ensure compliance based on your location.

If you choose cremation, our team will transport your pet’s remains to a trusted crematorium located in Republic, MO, ensuring your companion is treated with respect throughout the process. Cremation fees are based on your pet’s weight and are included in the total service cost collected before the euthanasia appointment.

No choice is too simple or too elaborate. Your decision is an expression of the connection you shared with your cherished companion. We are here to offer caring guidance, answer questions, and support you every step of the way.

If you'd like assistance choosing the best option for your family, please reach out anytime.
