She wants an apology and a refund for the money she put down to have Lola cremated.

So who the heck's ashes did she receive?

We've cremated all our dear, lost pets and I've often wondered about the, um, integrity of pet cremation businesses. Do they just fill little bags with the right sized scoop of a group cremation?

Possibly the local woodpile.

Cremation is totally unverifiable - unless you witness a DNA test.

When I had my dog cremated, I had three options. I could pay a minimum fee and get no ashes, I could pay a slightly higher fee, and she would be part of a mass cremation, or pay a higher fee for a private cremation. I may be naive, but I worked for the Vet that euthanized her, and I trusted this crematorium because it was the one he used. I saw these people, sadly, almost every day. it does lead me to wonder if she bothered to request ashes be returned at all.

I’ve got a dog’s and cat’s “ashes” in little urns. You got me to thinking. I doubt very seriously if a crematorium is going to light the fire and burn the gas for each animal. I’ll never do that again. I’ll break the law and bury them in my back yard like we did as kids.

What ashes? The article doesn’t mention she received any ashes. She only put down money for a cremation.

Most people do not request the dog’s ashes and the ashes are disposed of.

I’ve had two beloved pets euthanized and it would never occur to me to want the ashes.
