Refrigeration & Holding Options
Give Yourself Permission to Pause
Losing a beloved pet can feel overwhelming. In the midst of grief, making decisions about burial, aquamation, or memorial services may feel like more than you can handle in the moment.
We want families to know that there is no need to rush. If you are unsure which aftercare option is right for your companion, we can safely and respectfully hold your pet in our climate-controlled care areas while you take the time you need to process your loss and make a thoughtful decision.
When you are ready, we will be here to guide you with compassion and support every step of the way.
Decisions in Your Own Time
No Pressure, No Rush
Choosing your pet’s final arrangements is a deeply personal decision. Our goal is to give you the time and space to make that decision when you feel ready.
Whether you ultimately choose pet aquamation, burial, or another memorial option, your companion will remain in respectful and compassionate care.
Safe and Respectful Temporary Care
Our refrigeration and holding services provide a secure and dignified environment for your companion until you are ready to proceed.
Families often use this service when they need time to:
- Consider pet aquamation or burial options
- Coordinate with family members
- Plan a private goodbye or memorial service
- Choose an urn or keepsake
- Simply process the loss before making decisions

Whether your pet has passed at home or at a veterinary office, we can provide immediate care and preserve your options.
