✷ Pet Services + Aftercare ✷

 
 

We are all so lucky to have the privilege of being able to preserve such a relatable aspect of our dearly departed. It is truly an honor to be chosen to be apart of this journey for you and your pet.

Grief + navigating the preservation process can be a lot. To get an understanding on how everything works, I highly recommend visiting the FAQ page.

If and when you are ready to move forward with pet preservation, drop-offs are available by appointment only to my studio located at 1428 SE 140th ave Portland, OR 97233. House/vet calls are also able to be made for a fee of $30 + $1 per mile to and from my studio; this does not need to be paid until after services are completed. Please contact me to schedule a date and time for a house call pick up.

*If you are shipping your pet, please contact me and I will send you detailed instructions on how to do so.

Below are a list of base services that are provided. Please be aware that not all offerings will be listed. To find out if further services are available, please reach out via ‘Contact’.

The crematory also offers a variety of other urns; feel free to contact for more info. Group cremains are not returned to you, but spread elsewhere on a private orchard. Cremation/print fees are due at time of drop off.

 
 

✦ Aftercare Info ✦

My pet has passed…now what?

If your pet has passed, and you are decided on preservation services, or you are anticipating a scheduled euthanasia, please call/text Hayley (971)-494-7309 to check availability and/or to arrange a drop off or house/vet pick up.

If transporting your pet within 24 hours of their passing, no kind of cold treatment is necessary. Pets are OK to be at room temperature for about 24 hours after passing. You are, however, welcome to wrap/place them in whatever blankets or vessel that you see fit. Please note that whatever container/laundry you leave with your pet, it will not be returned to you.

Should you end up wanting to wait and think about how you want to preserve your pet, or if transport within 24 hours is not accessible at the time, the best thing to do is as follows:

  1. Wrap your pet snugly in a clean towel/blanket/piece of clothing.

  2. Place the wrapped body in a plastic/trash bag, and tightly seal it, making sure to expel any air bubbles.

  3. Put into a freezer if you are able to find one big enough. This is not unsanitary and will not spoil/affect any goods in the freezer. If you are unable to access a freezer large enough, find a cooler (either plastic or disposable styrofoam) and enough ice to cover your pet. Change the ice out accordingly, until you are able to transfer your pet to processing. Do NOT get your pet wet.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions regarding this process.
