If you are looking to complete a home burial (subject to municipal by-laws in your area) or burial at a pet cemetery, but the seasonal timing of your pet’s passing does not allow for this, Faithful Pet Memorial can safely hold your pet’s body during the colder months until burial is possible. 🌈🐾❄️

Our secure on-site holding space gives you and your family peace of mind knowing that your pet is being respectfully cared for until final arrangements can be made. This service is available for pets up to 25 lbs. Holding fees are charged on a monthly basis and paid for in advance.

We are here to help you navigate this difficult time. Please contact us at 📞416-767-3572 or email us at 📧[email protected] for further information.

💙 🐾 🧡 Meet our Team Monday 🧡 🐾 💙

Sheree has always had a special place in her heart for animals throughout her life. She fostered many dogs and cats growing up, and volunteered at the OSPCA in Orangeville during high school. As a born helper with a big heart, she was torn between two different career paths that would allow her to give back to the community: working with animals and assisting people with special needs.

Ultimately, Sheree pursued her Child & Youth Worker advanced diploma and went on to hold several different roles including working with youth facing mental health concerns and homelessness in the Indigenous community for 6 years and working in group homes for boys with autism for 5 years, before shifting into the pet care world as a Director of Animal Care for the past 4 years. She has now joined Faithful Pet Memorial as an Aftercare Associate, providing support for families in this final stage of their pet’s journey.

In her spare time, Sheree enjoys spending time with her family, her boyfriend Jordan and her animal children (a Chihuahua named Boston and a turtle named Camo). She is a big fan of all things basketball, in particular the Boston Celtics, which is where her sweet pup got his name. She also enjoys visiting her fur nephews, Otto (a Puggle) and Roman (an American bully).

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Sheree!

🐱 Our feline companions remind us of the beauty of living in the present and the importance of making the most of our time together. Whether it's cuddling on the couch, playing with their favourite toys, or simply watching them gracefully roam, these moments are fleeting and precious. Let's honour their wisdom by treasuring every moment we have with them. 🕰

🐾 Tag a fellow cat lover who has learned the art of living in the present moment from their beloved fur baby! 🐾

In anticipation of Giving Tuesday on December 3rd, we are excited to announce the launch of our Smudge Fund memorial candles. 🕯

This unique keepsake has been created exclusively for MMVHS & Faithful Pet Memorial. These locally made, hand-poured, soy wax aromatherapy candles are non-toxic for both humans and pets and feature notes of smooth sandalwood, a hint of exotic saffron, and earthy cedar, bringing a cozy, woodsy vibe to your home. Each limited edition candle is 16 oz, has a burn time of approximately 50 hours and includes a gift tag for personalization. 🎁

The best part?! $20 from the purchase of every candle will be donated to the Smudge Fund, making it the perfect way to honour your loved one while paying it forward to another family who may not otherwise be able to afford to say goodbye to their beloved pets in the comfort and privacy of home. Learn more about the Smudge Fund here: https://mmvhs.ca/smudge-fund/

Thank you for helping us help other pet parents! 🙏

Please note: The Smudge Fund is not a registered charity and therefore we cannot provide tax receipts.

🐾 What is the human-animal bond? It’s a deep, unbreakable connection we share with our pets—a relationship built on unconditional love, trust, and the joy they bring to our lives. Our pets aren’t just animals; they’re family, comforting us through difficult days, sharing our happiest moments, and leaving paw prints on our hearts forever.

At Faithful Pet Memorial, we’re here to honour that bond when it’s time to say goodbye, helping families find peace and gentle care for their loved ones. We believe this bond deserves the utmost respect, even after they’re gone, allowing their memory to live on with compassion and love. 🌈💞

As the spookiest night of the year approaches, we remember the pets who once brought magic to our lives, even if they’re no longer by our side. Whether they preferred chasing after falling leaves, participating in treat-or-treating festivities or simply hiding under the bed until it was all over, their spirit still lingers in every festive moment. 🕸️🍂

Wishing you a Halloween filled with warmth, love, and special memories of your faithful pets — both past and present. 🎃🕯️

Faithful Pet Memorial is the first (and only) company in the City of Toronto to offer aquamation, a water-based cremation process, for pets. As concern for the environment grows, we are pleased to provide pet parents with an eco-friendly alternative to flame-based cremation and burial. 🌎💧🌱

Upon the passing of a beloved pet, families are faced with many decisions regarding aftercare. One of the main considerations if opting for cremation or aquamation is whether you wish to receive your pet's ashes back (private) or not (communal). Below we explain the difference between these two options at Faithful Pet Memorial.

With private aquamation, your pet is gently and respectfully placed into their own private basket within the aquamation vessel. The barriers between the baskets maintain the purity of your pet’s cremated remains, ensuring you receive ONLY your pet’s ashes back. Included with this option is your choice of one of our standard urns, along with a memorial candle, a memorial stone, and a personalized certificate of aquamation to confirm your pet was privately aquamated with Faithful Pet Memorial.

With communal aquamation, your pet’s cremated remains will not be returned to you. Your pet will be gently placed together in the aquamation vessel with other pets whose families have chosen this option and their remains will be processed together. All communally cremated remains will be respectfully scattered in Lake Ontario at the beautiful Prince of Wales park located at 1 Third St. in Etobicoke.

For more information about our services, please don't hesitate to reach out to our compassionate team at 📞 416-767-3572 or 📧[email protected]. We would be honoured to make aftercare arrangements for your faithful pet. 🐾🍃💧

Communal vs. Private Aquamation

One of the most common questions we get from pet owners is "How do I know I'm getting just my pet's ashes back?" This is understandably one of the most common concerns amongst pet owners, and we take it very seriously at Faithful Pet Memorial. In this video, Dr. Banks, mobile hospice vet and founder of Faithful Pet Memorial, explains the difference between communal vs. private cremation or aquamation. From the moment your beloved pet enters our care, they are assigned a unique identification number that will stay with them throughout the aftercare journey. If private aquamation is requested, your pet will be placed in an individual basket within the vessel along with the unique stainless steel token that identifies your pet in our industry-specific tracking software. This token remains with your pet throughout the aquamation process and will be returned to you, along with the cremated remains (or “ashes”) in an urn at the end of the process. We hope this provides you with some peace of mind and comfort. As always, if you have any further questions, we encourage you to reach out to our compassionate aftercare team at Faithful Pet Memorial by email at 📧[email protected] or phone at 📞 416-767-3572. #faithfulpetmemorial #petlove #veterinarymedicine #vetmedlife #cremation #petcremation #petaftercare #aquamation #petaquamation #aquacremation #watercremation #greencremation #petloss #privatecremation #communalcremation #ashestoashes #TransparencyMatters
