What do vets do with ashes?

After a pet's cremation, veterinarians typically return the ashes to the pet owner in an urn or other container. Some veterinary clinics offer options for communal or individual cremation, influencing how the ashes are handled. Owners may choose to keep the ashes at home, bury them in a special location, or even have memorials made. Ultimately, the handling of ashes is a personal decision for pet owners.
