Services of the Animal Welfare League

Ashes can be returned to you in an urn of your choice, or you may decide to have the ashes forever placed in our Memorial Wall.

The League’s Memorial Wall is a peaceful and thoughtfully laid out area, providing an appropriate place of remembrance for your companion animal. It is an area that you may visit and dwell in peace on the many happy times shared together.

Our services include:

• Collection of the deceased pet, and delivery of ashes to either a veterinarian service or home, with respect and dignity.
• A guarantee that the ashes returned to the owner will be those of their treasured friend.
• A seven-day turn around period for the return of ashes, to the owner or veterinary clinic.
• Assurance that only trained and understanding Animal Welfare League staff handle the beloved pet throughout the entire service.
• Plaques are available on request.

Testimonials:

“Sincere thanks for your understanding and compassion in arranging the cremation of my beloved Heeler “Deesha” last week. It is a big comfort to know that there are people like you to help pet owners like myself through a difficult time.”

“To everyone at the AWL who was involved with my beautiful baby girl ‘Kahrma’. Thank you so much for being there for us in such a caring and professional manner. Myself and my family truly appreciate it.”

"Just a note of sincere thanks for the special care taken with Dillon's ashes and urn. He was my special mate for more than half my life and will be with me always. Thanks again for your compassion. People like yourself are a rare few."

"Thank you so much for being so kind and caring when we brought our cat Buster to you. It's still very hard to come to terms with, that he's gone. He was so special. It's easier when there's compassionate people like you. Thank you again."

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigour; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone very special, someone who was left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.

The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together….
