Our Services- We offer only Single Cremations not separate," individual," "private" or mass cremations.
Included with every Fairwinds Safe Journey Cremation:
- Hair Clipping with ribbon
- Safe Journey Chronicle
- Numbered Stainless Steel Identification Tag
- Ceramic Memory Heart - ( Outer heart represents your heart, inner heart, your loved ones heart. Your loved one’s heart is attached to them with a ribbon and cremated with them. It is returned to you, two hearts reunited.
Each loved one has a numbered stainless steel Safe Journey Identification tag attached to them with ribbon when they arrive at Fairwinds. This and a very detailed Safe Journey Chronicle documents all activity associated with your loved one during their stay. The Chronicle, ID tag, hairclipping with ribbon,and inner remembering heart, are all returned to you when you come to pick up your loved ones remains.
Fairwinds is not, and does not want to be a volume-based pet cremation service. That is only a small part of what I offer those that believe like me, that our pets are our family, and deserve to be treated with love and respect when they have to leave us. "My" pets are always carefully cleansed and cared for. I encourage you to make an appointment to visit with me at Fairwinds and compare my services and facility to others you may have used. I know you will see that what I do is the only choice for your loved one.
Witness Cremation: This additional service is for those clients that want to be present for the cremation. The family typically walks back to the cremation area with their loved one. At this point, you may or may not want to witness the actual transfer of remains into the cremation chamber. Most will say their final goodbyes, then are escorted back into the center to wait for the cremation to be completed and the remains returned to you. Depending upon the size of the pet, this can be between one and three hours. During this time, families
either wait here at the center, or leave and return when the process is completed. There is an additional fee for this because: cremations are otherwise performed at a time that is within a 5 day period & the remains require some preparation prior to cremation .
Center hours:
9a-6p Monday-Saturday. Available 24 hours for retrievals from your home/ vet or for families that prefer to bring their loved to Fairwinds.
Click here to contact us! Because I frequently leave the center to help clients, appointments are appreciated.
