When considering aftercare for a Beloved Companion, pet companion parents/families want a cremation facility they can trust. It is a goal of ours to help our families make informed decisions and to ultimately make a very challenging time easier. Beloved Companions, LLC. is Connecticut’s most trusted name… in Pet Companion Aftercare Services.
Until decisions and preparations can be made, place your pet companion in the coldest part of your home. Put plastic down on the floor (a plastic bag or tarp will work) and then place a blanket on top of the plastic. Place your pet companion on top of the blanket and then cover your pet companion with another towel or blanket. At this time, if possible, make any necessary aftercare arrangements.
Please call us anytime if you would like more information or require aftercare for your pet companion.
It is so very important to us to make sure that you understand the level of care we provide for your pet companion.

At Beloved Companions, LLC., we are absolutely committed to returning your pet companion, and only your pet companion in his or her entirety, to you.

Also, we offer a Scatter Bag Package… which includes a pewter key chain urn.
How to care for your departed pet companion is a very personal choice. Cremation gives you the option of keeping your pet companion’s remains with you (transportable) or scattering their ashes in a place that is sacred. Important things to consider… whether or not you will be at your residence long term, and whether or not zoning ordinances exist in your area about home burial.
It’s essential to understand the process your pet undergoes after passing away. Most veterinary clinics follow standard procedures, including bagging and freezing.
In many cases, commercial pet crematories may be located several hours away from your vet’s office, leading to extended transportation times for your pet.
Ensuring the individuality of your pet’s cremation is important. Ask about identification measures in place for private cremations.
Clarify the procedure to ensure that your pet is cremated alone in the cremation unit if you choose a private cremation.
