The answer is normally yes but it will depend on how the pet crematorium works and whatever conditions of licensing that may apply. An appointment will need to be scheduled and this will usually involve an additional charge.
Although this question may be asked, people have different ideas about what they mean. Seeing their pet placed carefully into the cremation chamber is important to some people.This may be to assure themselves that the cremation really is individual or it may be for religious beliefs. Other people may simply want to be present in the grounds at the time of the cremation and not to actually witness the process.
Attended pet cremations have to be fitted into what is often a busy day. The procedures at a pet crematorium are the same as a human one but do not normally have any ceremony accompanying the cremation. People often associate the ceremony at a human service with the time of the cremation but it is not necessarily the case. Whilst the ceremonies are scheduled the actual cremations will be carried out in order and may be later, although always by the finish of the day. To carry out a cremation at a specific time means that some space needs to be available at the start to ensure the unit is available. Obviously this will mean fewer cremations may be carried out and is why an extra charge is often added.
If you want to see the start of the cremation to reassure yourself that it is a genuine individual cremation then there are a few points to understand. Most genuine pet crematoriums have small machines that, for environmental reasons, are not allowed to use coffins for the cremation. To adhere to the rules the cremation unit must be raised to the correct temperature before the cremation begins. This means your pet will be going into a very hot chamber which may result in instant combustion. You must decide if you want this to be your final memory of your pet.
If you wish to view then safety procedures must be observed so it is important to follow instructions from the crematorium as to where to stand. You must not try to interfere with the procedure. It is normal for an additional member of staff to be present to prevent this. There have been cases in the past where people have found viewing the cremation too traumatic and therefore some establishments may not allow this.
Your pet crematorium may have a viewing room where you can watch through a window or you may be able to see it on a closed circuit camera. However you should be cautious if they only show the pet going towards the unit, not the actual inside of the cremator. This may be because the cremation is not being carried out individually.
If you want to be reassured about the start of the cremation but do not want to see your pet go into the hot unit then there are other options. Make arrangements to have your pet cremated at a definite time. Make sure you inspect the inside of the cremation unit before the start of the cremation. The hearth should be clean with no remnants from other cremations. If you see any remains on the hearth then you would be best to go to another crematorium as it means the correct care is not being taken. If you wish to be close by then make sure you can stand somewhere so that you feel part of the cremation without having to actually see it. To take the ashes home you will have anything from an hour and a half to four or five hours wait, depending on the size of your pet. You may want to go off and return later but discuss matters with the crematorium to see what they can do for you.
