Me and My best-friend (aetd96) run an "under-the counter" funeral home. And what I mean by that is we run a funeral service for animals kinda quitely. I have been doing this since I was 10 years old in 2003. I established my animal funeral service b/c in 2003 I have deicded to become a LIC. funeral director for people when I'm old enough. As of now I'm 15 and in the next year I plan on working as an apprentice at a real funeral home. I do this animal service sort-of for practice. My associates and I have been carring-out our traditions for nearly 6yrs. and we have had 4 members along my side through the years. now I only have 2 besides my self. We do not charge any money! If we are given money we donate the cash to a local animal charity or shelter. We offer complete services that any that any funeral home would normally offer. We pre-arrange, consualt, make memory cards, obituaries notices, hand-made caskets, and rubbermaid burial vaults. We only bury in owner's yard not a cemetery. We do memorbila, such as slide shows .and cremation services as well. If cremation is deisered the master of the pet must send the body to a LIC. company, once ashes are returned to the owner we offer what ever they want done. We preform Calling Hours (viewings) and Full-Funeral services as well. This is generally held at your home in the living room, we will re-arrange chairs and sofas to create a funeral home atmosphere and bring our own pink-torchiere lamps for the mood-lights setting as well. Sorry we don't embalm. As our moto at my funeral service says... "Every life is significant, everylife has a story to be told, let us help you tell that story" I'm serious in what I do, Animals have lives don't they? They have a story to be told? Why don't they desvere to have it told? Well I think they do! -- And that is why my associates and I do what we do best! If you are a funeral director and you are reading this I would appreciate your imput, I need some perfessional help. I do want to become a real Mortician in the years to come. I'm 15 so I will be soon. I'm only do the animal services now sort-of as practice. So I want to create an online website for no cost and to advertise my services.
