Pawsitive Passage Cremation Service

[frequentflier (Premo)]

Last week, a gentleman came in and said one of his dogs passed away the night before. He and his wife were very distraught and wanted to know if they had to take the dog to a vet to get him cremated.
Recently, someone had dropped off fliers for "Pawsitive Passage Pet Cremation Service" in Leonardtown.
The following day, the gentleman returned to thank me for the referral. He said the people were wonderful and that they were able to wait and take their beloved pet's ashes home.

I do need to stop by there and chat with them... I have some questions JUST in case i have one that passes without me by thier side!

I have also heard great things about them.

They're one of our sponsors and Charlene is very nice. Haven't used their services, but when she and Patrick explained to me what they do it seemed like a wonderful idea vs. having the vet send your pet off to VA for cremation, then getting them (?) back a week later.

they sound like a place further up north.... where you can take your pet... and wait for them.

Im sure some out there could care less... but I do care about my pets! The last two I lost I took them to Mattingley-Gardiner Funeral Home

I cant wait to stop by and ask a few questions.

Are you implying that those that don't chose to cremate their dead pet didn't really care about them?

I think what is meant by that comment is that if your pet is sent away and comes back in a tin, that you don't really know what happened to your pet and if you are actually getting YOUR pet's ashes or something else? How would you know? I have cremated one dog and buried several others. The cremation process through my vet was very impersonal. My vet tried to do the best she could but her time is limited. When my dog's ashes arrived I recieved a call to pick them up, in a waiting room full of people. I couldn't get out the door fast enough before I started bawling in front of all those people. It could have been done a little better, I think. Being able to take my dog to be cremated would have been a wonderful option! But the backyard works, too. Nothing wrong with that.

nooooo .....

just that some dont even care about thier pets . Also there are many that just dump thier pets off at the shelter so the deed gets done... now thats just plain effed up in my book.


I know many people that bury thier pet.... but still care very much about thier pet.

I know I will not stay in one spot for the rest of my life and would not want to leave my pet behind.

Anyone know the average cost? I didn't see anything listed on their site. We have a 125+ pound dog and digging that hole would take days.
