Recently we had a longtime pet pass, and we chose Radiant Heart Aftercare in Bellingham, WA, which is a pet-only funeral home with on-site cremation, offering personal and respectful care for you and your pet. This was an educational experience I felt should be shared. They offer both eco-friendly water cremation and traditional flame cremation and utilize steel ID tags to guarantee the return of your pet’s remains. We had a deep discussion about the two types of cremation and the advantages and disadvantages of each. The ecological footprint of each type is quite different. If you don't choose to have the remains returned, they have a unique way of honoring your pets passing which Bobbie Ruth Langley shared and is so touching. They also offer a variety of pet memorials including one-of-a-kind pieces created by talented local and regional artists.
