What exactly do you do?
- Animal Rites, USA offers cremation services for pet parents at a crucial time after a pet death. We will pick up your beloved pet from your home or your vet's office and return the ashes in a quality oak box or an urn of your choosing. We will perform a pet memorial service when the ashes are returned if requested and also do pet services at the local pet cemeteries.

Will my pet go to heaven?
- Whether you are religious or not, it is comforting to think our animals are in a safe place when they leave us. The Book of Genesis gives testimony that God gave us the responsibility to take care of the animals and because of those words we believe our pets will be taken care of when they leave us.
