Our Partner In Aftercare

Our hospital works closely with a local crematorium – Loyal Companion Pet Cremation, located in Hanover, PA. If you want your pet to be cremated, a private and a communal cremation are available. A private cremation is defined as a pet being cremated individually using the same standards as with human cremation. Your pet’s ashes will be returned to you in an urn of your choosing.

Communal cremation is defined as multiple pets being cremated at the same time with no remains being returned to your family.
