Urn Selection

When you request a Private cremation for your pet, it provides you with the opportunity to keep your pet’s cremated remains as a permanent and personal keepsake. Your pet’s cremated remains will be returned to your regular veterinary practice (typically in 1-2 weeks) in your selected urn, along with a certificate of cremation, authenticating that your pet was cremated at Gateway Pet Memorial. You may choose one of the five complementary urns that are provided at no additional fee, or choose from one of the many custom urns that can be ordered. Please take some time to review your options at www.gatewaypetmemorial.com. The complimentary urns are pictured below.
Complimentary Urns (include engraved/etched name at no additional fee on all urns except Scattering Tube).

Many families prefer to hold off for now, while others pencil in a tentative time so key family members can be present and so we can plan our availability. If you feel ready, you’re welcome to choose a preferred time below and we’ll review and confirm. If not, we’ll keep your details on file and be here when the time feels right.

In most situations, we can arrange an in-home appointment within 2–3 business days, though we can often accommodate next-day requests — and in some cases even same-day appointments (after-hours/urgent fees apply; availability not guaranteed).

Helpful Tips

The items below are provided to help ensure the appointment goes as smoothly as possible.
Prior to the appointment:*

Ensure that a parking spot is available as close to the home as possible to facilitate your pet's transportation to the doctor's vehicle.If your pet is still mobile, try to encourage them to go to the bathroom prior to the doctor's arrival. This will help to keep them as comfortable as possible.If your pet is still interested in eating, please feel free to offer special treats in the couple hours leading up to the scheduled appointment.Choose a location where you and your pet will be most comfortable, that also provides enough space for everyone to gather.Consider any items that you want your pet to travel with (a favourite toy, picture, or letter), and have them prepared and ready.
When the doctor arrives:*

Consider turning off phone ringers to avoid unwanted interruptions.Following the sedative injection, the doctor will remove themselves from the immediate area to provide time for your family to gather around, pet, and snuggle your pet.Crying during the appointment is normal. Please ensure you have lots of tissue and hand sanitizer available.If you have chosen to have us coordinate your pet's aftercare, your pet will need to be carried to the doctor's vehicle following euthanasia. If your pet weighs more than 25lbs, a family member will be asked to help (or two family members can carry your pet together). If this poses any challenges (eg. physical limitations), please be sure to discuss this with our team ahead of time.
