Pet Cremation Alton IL Area
One way to handle the death of a pet is through cremation services and classy urns. When pets are simply buried in the backyard people move, and many times, never get to be around their pet again. Cremation offers more time to plan the honoring of a pet. We cremate at our building and have a wide range of urns and containers available. Your animal’s ashes can even be kept in a columbarium.
We cremate pets using a method called alkaline hydrolysis. This is a much more eco-friendly cremation practice. This involves mixing a large amount of water and chemicals for a more natural process. This method is far better for the environment because it cuts down on harmful gasses being released into the air. Cremating this way uses 90% less energy than flame-based cremation. Finally, all the water we use is reused, and it produces 20% more remains for the family. This is the most responsible and gentle way to dispose of your pet.

In addition to our cremation services, we also offer pet burial services if you choose to go that direction. Some people are just more comfortable with traditional burial practices for their pets, and we’re here to do whatever our clients are comfortable with. With a direct burial service, you’ll always have a way to go and visit your friend; no matter where life takes you.
We offer many caskets that are an affordable and comfortable place for any animal to take their final rest. Also, we offer a range of memorial headstones and monuments that mark the spot of their resting place. We can even provide an elegant bronze marker for pet gravesites. Call Homeward Bound with any pet loss needs and questions.
