Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is an incredibly difficult experience. At Pet Meadow, we understand the profound bond you share with your animal companion and are dedicated to providing compassionate and respectful aftercare services during this sensitive time. Located on 6 tranquil acres in Hamilton, Mercer County, NJ, Pet Meadow has been a peaceful final resting place for pets for over a century. As a family-owned establishment and a proud member of the International Association of Pet Cemeteries and Crematories (IAOPCC), we uphold the highest standards of care and ethics in the pet aftercare profession, ensuring your pet is treated with dignity and love.
After-Care Services Designed for Peace of Mind
Pet Meadow offers a comprehensive range of after-care services to honor your pet’s memory and provide solace during your time of grief. We strive to make the process as comforting and transparent as possible, offering various options to suit your needs and preferences.
True Private Pet Cremation Services
We provide True Private Pet Cremation, guaranteeing that your pet is cremated individually and that you receive only their ashes back. Unlike services labeled “individual” or “segregated,” our process utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and a meticulous tracking system to maintain the integrity of each cremation. This ensures complete peace of mind that the cremains returned to you are exclusively those of your cherished pet. Your pet’s ashes will be returned to you in an elegant wooden memorial chest. For a more personalized tribute, we also offer a diverse selection of memorial urns, available for viewing on our website and at our memorial center. For those seeking further clarification, we offer a detailed explanation of the distinctions between private and individual pet cremation, including a photo of our crematory for complete transparency, accessible via this link: The Benefits of Private Cremation.
Pet Viewing and Attended Cremation Options
Recognizing the importance of closure, Pet Meadow provides a private viewing room where you and your family can spend precious moments saying goodbye to your pet before cremation. For those who wish to be present during the cremation process, we offer attended cremation services by appointment. Please contact our office to schedule a time that accommodates your needs.
Communal Pet Cremation
For pet owners who prefer an alternative to private cremation, we offer communal pet cremation. In this process, pets are cremated together, and while cremains are not returned, it remains a respectful and dignified way to care for your pet’s remains.
Transportation Services for Your Convenience
To ease the burden during this difficult time, Pet Meadow offers compassionate transportation services. We can gently transport your pet from your home or veterinarian’s office to our facility, ensuring they are handled with the utmost care and respect throughout the journey.
Pre-Need Planning for Pet Aftercare
Understanding that the loss of a pet is emotionally overwhelming, we encourage pet owners to consider pre-need planning for aftercare arrangements. Making these decisions in advance allows you to thoughtfully explore your options during a calmer period, rather than during a time of grief. Contact us at any time to discuss pre-planning your pet cremation or burial services.
Pet Burial Services at Our Tranquil Cemetery
For a more traditional memorial, Pet Meadow offers formal pet burial services within our beautiful and historic cemetery grounds in Hamilton. Burial options include caskets and granite markers. To ensure the perpetual tranquility of our cemetery, deed restrictions and maintenance fees are in place. Please contact our Hamilton office to arrange pet burial services.
“Farewell, Master, Yet not farewell. Where I go, ye, too, shall dwell I am gone, before your face, A moment’s time, a little space. When ye come where I have stepped Ye will wonder why ye wept.”
