They say memories are
golden, well maybe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted
you. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love
alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved
you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no
one could ever fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a
lane, I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again. Our family
chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by
one, the chain will link again. - Author Unknown
Here at Pionner we offer a couple different services concerning euthanasia.
1.) If you wish, you may take you pet's body home with you.
2.) You may leave your pet's body with us and we can take care of the body for you.
3.) We also work with a service that provides a "Special Cremation" where for an extra fee you will receive ashes of your pet back.
