Environmental regulations and guidelines

The Environment Agency regulates both cemeteries and crematoria, and it is advised that you contact your local authority who will be able to provide you with further information.The Association of Private Pet Cemeteries and Crematoria operates a Code of Practice for smaller pet cemeteries and crematoria (those which incinerate less than 50kg an hour).

Many U.S. cities prohibit home pet burials, and these regulations are growing stronger as solid waste, water protection and air pollution strategies are strengthened.

Environmental regulations as well as business licenses are required for quality services to be offered. These regulations control whether a crematorium is qualified to service infectious animals, and how they are handled; as well as how the remains are treated to minimize air pollutants and solid waste pollutants. Business license guidelines help protect citizens from fraudulent operators and provide a standard of service through training and operations that is reassuring to the community that respects life. Avoid burials near watercourses, drains and wells.

Burials of pet or wildlife ashes should be treated with the same caution and care that we provide for human remains. Animals are part of the ecosystem and their remains return natural elements to the soil, water and air. As we use more medications in veterinarian care, it is important to consider proper treatment of remains to protect the natural resources from chemicals and diseases. Cremation is a highly recommended method to minimize environmental impact and treat your pet with dignity.

The Association of Pet Cemeteries and Crematoria recommends burial of unembalmed remains in biodegradable cardboard coffins at a depth of at least 2 feet??? with grave plots avoiding watercourses, drains and wells.

Wildlife Cremations

Sometimes when a disease outbreak causes wildlife deaths, it is important that the diseased remains be cremated to stop the spread of the disease through the ecosystem. Call your local, county environmental health department to check on regulations and assistance in dealing with wildlife remains. There are other reasons for wildlife cremations, and your local authorities can provide city guidelines as well as reporting guidelines when you find dead wildlife in public areas.
