Local Funeral Home Now Offering Pet Cremation

McCormack Funeral Home in Sarnia says it's the first funeral provider in Sarnia-Lambton to offer cremation services for your pet.

Owner Cameron McCormack says he'd been mulling over the idea for some time.

"To me, it's a natural synergy," he says. "People grieve when they lose their pets, every bit as much as they do when a family member passes away."

Pet cremation can cost from $99 to $645, depending on the weight of your pet and the type of service you decide upon.

McCormack says he's already had over 8,000 hits on their Facebook page and one client.
