Reply #7: The Schindlers wanted her freeze-dried and mounted to keep on the couch

A more comforting alternative to burial or cremation.
Freeze-dry preservation.

Pets, be it cat or dog, become a very important part of our lives. They give us so much unconditional love and affection. It doesn't matter if we are rich or poor, young or old, or what we look like, all they want is our approval and attention. When we leave our homes, they are there to say good-bye and when we return they are there to welcome us with love and excitement.

But someday the time comes when we say that final "good-bye". The loss of our pet leaves a tremendous hole in our life and the grief can be overwhelming. Sometimes the grief is stronger than giving up a relative or loved one. When the time comes that we must let go, we are faced with the dilemma of what to do with our beloved pet. In humans, society dictates burial or cremation. With a pet however, we have an alternative to burial or cremation. Today's technology has made freeze-dry preservation - a more comforting alternative - an option.

With this method we can preserve your pet in a restful and peaceful manner. Although they are no longer living, we can keep them in our presence. A pet is many things to different people. To many pet owners burial and cremation are not acceptable. Very often we receive calls from grieving pet owners, and many of them tell us "we just cannot stand the thought of burying our pet."
