Who knows. At a guess I'd say they will probably end up part mixed and people would never know. Never done it with a dog but when one of the wife's cats got killed she insisted on taking it. Cost about 130 and you get the ashes back in a little box. Ashes could've been anything. The pet crematorium was a weird place had a little bed and cushions so people could arrange their dead animals in for a final photo - weird! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wxm 1,638 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 got chatting to a friend a while back about a similar topic and she was friends was a chap that used to collect everything from hamsters to horses and they went in by the van load, not individually ... she said he used to say it cost too much just to set it up for 1 animal, if and when anyone wanted ashes it was a scoop of everything and anything ... you may not even have any of your pet 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I don't know about animals, but I have some experience of working with the deceased, so I can clear one thing up once and for all - humans are cremated, and their ashes containerised, separately - by law. Ashes are still classified as 'human remains', and their treatment and disposal is heavily regulated. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I've had a few dogs cremated, mostly beacuse our old garden was so small I didn't want to dig it up when I was gardening. As for the question - it depends where you take them. Some commercial crems mix and match. If you give them a budgie you get a spoonful of ashes back. If you give them a great dane, you get a couple of scoops but it could be anything. I went to a place in Surrey a guy had an ancient chimney/incinerator affair in his garden. His were strictly one animal at a time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

deanflute 550 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I do a bit of ferreting for a bloke who has a pet cemetery business. Every animal is cremated separately. I believe somebody once brought a hamster to be cremated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
