As the old saying goes, “There is no such thing as a goodbye.” People spend their lives in constant farewells, learning to say goodbye to friends, learning to say goodbye to family, and also learning to say goodbye to pets. For those who have pets, they must feel the same way, after all, the life span of pets is only a little more than ten years.
For people, a decade or so is like the passage of a white horse, but for pets, it’s their whole life. And after the pets passed away, how should the shoveler place them? Most people used to bury them, but this is not in line with today’s environmental awareness, and there is less and less land today to meet the needs of pooper scoopers.
Thus the pet funeral industry was born, but people have different opinions about this service. Some people feel that pet funeral services make money by completely capitalizing on the owner’s feelings for the pet, while others feel that it allows the pet to walk its final journey with dignity. Today, we would like to discuss those things about pet funeral services.
Does it really make sense to have a funeral service for a deceased pet?
I would like to start by sharing a personal experience with you. When I was a child, I had a dog, and then the dog passed away due to illness, and my family buried it in a vacant lot, and when I wanted to think about it, I would go to see it. Then one day this piece of vacant land even construction, and can not find the remains of the dog, want it when I do not know where to go to miss.
1. Significance of pet funeral services
The reason for telling that story above is to make sure that people don’t have any prejudices about pet funeral services, and it’s actually quite significant. First of allGood for the environment. If pets are directly buried, there is a risk of environmental pollution.Because dogs can carry some germs on their bodies, being buried in the soil could spread them, and if these germsIt’s even worse when you accidentally contaminate your domestic water.
secondlyIt enables the dog to walk with more dignity.It is felt that pets, like human beings, also need dignity, they spend their whole life with their masters, and finally they can leave this world with dignity, this should not be too much to ask for the pooper scooper.
2. What kind of work do pet ferrymen do?
Pet ferryman, this is a cold occupation, everyone’s surrounding should not have seen people who do this, so what kind of work do they do? After asking the relevant people and checking the information, we found that most of the people who do pet funeral services have one thing in common, that is, they have had pets and have had the experience of their pets passing away.Presumably, having experienced it firsthand, they can understand how much pets mean to their owners.So they chose this somewhat cold career.
Many people would think that the pet funeral industry is very lucrative because they are just needing to cremate their pets and that’s it, without any professional requirements at all. However, the understanding found thatMany companies doing pet funeral services were operating at a loss in previous years. Their job is not as simple as they think.
People also don’t take the idea of pet funerals that seriously and find them too expensive, so not that many owners are willing to have their pets cremated.In fact, counting various expenses such as labor, rent, oil and so on, its cost is still quite high, so the price will inevitably be higher.
Nowadays, there is no professional management for the pet funeral industry in China, so the standards are different in all aspects. This also leads to some businesses will set the price very high, which is also a reason why people do not want to choose this, right?
I’ve watched some documentaries on pet funerals and have gotten a general idea of what these pet wranglers do. TheyThe deceased pet will be dressed up to make it look clean and then put into the cremator for cremation, after which the pet’s ashes will be ground up and put into a special box for them to take home according to the owner’s wishes, or the urn will be buried in a special place.
It is felt that there must be a sentiment in the hearts of the staff doing pet funeral services, otherwise it would be difficult to keep doing the job.It is sad when a pet passes away, we can’t stop the loss of life, but what we can do is to make sure that they leave this life in a decent manner, and that is enough.
