roomCEREMONIES & RITUALS

No one can say how long the grieving process will take. And while having a ceremony or ritual won't put an end to grieving, many bereaved pet parents feel that having some type of event in memory of their pet does help with the healing process. It can provide a sense of closure, help focus on the positive and reinforce the happy memories as a way to stem the tide of pain that comes from loss.

These events - ceremonies, rituals or celebrations - can be as simple as having an undisturbed time of reflection in a peaceful place like our Farewell Room, inviting a few close friends to openly pay their respects and share memories, or as large as a community celebration with many in attendance. The options are almost endless.
