Can I be cremated with my pet?

In most cases, it is illegal for a human and a pet to be cremated together in the same cremation chamber (retort) due to health and safety regulations. However, you can generally have your pet cremated separately and then have their ashes placed in your casket or urn with you, a process that is often permitted.

Key Considerations for Being "With" Your Pet:
• Separate Cremations: Human remains are always cremated separately from pets.
• Ashes Placement: You can have your pet's ashes placed in your casket before your own cremation.
• Alternative Option: Have your pet cremated, keep its ashes, and have a family member or funeral director place them inside your urn with your own ashes.
• Legal Regulations: While, for instance, Wisconsin allows pet cremation, state laws can vary on the specifics of combining remains.

When caregiving ends, grief may deepen rather than fade. This tender transition deserves care, patience, and support. Healing takes time and may involve tending to your own needs, honoring your emotions, and gently rediscovering yourself beyond the caregiving role. Small steps—restoring routines, connecting with supportive communities, and easing back into interests—can help. Grieve at your own pace, protect your energy, and seek professional support if burnout feels heavy. You’re not alone in this season.

We’re here to support you and connect you with helpful resources. Please call us, visit our office, or explore the support resources on our website: Kessler Fahrenkrug Funeral Home – Resources.
