I hate to begin my visits here with this topic but recently I lost a pet &, unlike previous situations was unable to bury the cat.
Following cremation, however, I began to have questions & haven't found any online info (or from friends, either) that helps.
Maybe someone here can either help me or point me to a source for info...

There have been controversies regarding the handling of human remains at crematoriums, so I wonder if there might not be sometimes problems at pet facilities.

What do the remains look like?
I thought the remains would be more or less consistent but
what I recieved was surprising in that it was a mix of fine & crude material (some almost as large as small pebbles).
Is that usual?

I was also surprised by the size of the remains.
Is there any general scale for that compared to the size/weight of the animal?


I realize this is a bit morbid but I am completely at a loss here & would appreciate any info.

Thank you.

Hi,

I got this info off a website I found "A pound reduces to approximately one cubic inch of ashes". There is also a FAQs section of the website that I think might help with this or any other question you might have. The site is www.laserpals.com there's a FAQs link on the left side of the page.
