Cremation Information For Your Pet
At Precious Memories Pet Cemetery And Crematory Inc we understand that when it is time to plan the for the loss of your pet, that cremation is often preferred over burial. In order to provide our clients with everything they need during this time of grief, we provide you with the resources and services you need. We offer private cremation and the cremains are usually available within 24 hours upon receiving your pet, excluding weekends and holidays. We accept pets for drop off anytime during our regular business hours and you do not need an appointment. In some cases, the cremains are available the same day. We also know that many of our clients travel from outside the immediate are to utilize our services. As a courtesy, we offer the option to wait while the cremation occurs so that you do not have to make the trip twice. We do ask that you call us to set up an appointment in that case so that we can have a machine prepared when you arrive and can give you an accurate time frame for the cremation. As a full-service pet cemetery we offer pet cremations and pet burials at our own cemetery with unobstructed views of the beautiful Colorado scenery. Take a tour of our site here.

What is Legacy? For Horses… its Head, Heart, and Hooves
Horses on average weigh 1000 pounds, which means, when a horse dies, it takes a significant amount of effort for a full cremation or burial. Because of this, the tradition to cremate or bury only the head, heart, and hooves of a racehorse, began.
Why the head, heart and hooves?
The head signifies intelligence and “Will to Win,” the heart is for courage, and the hooves are speed of execution. These three things make a racehorse.
Head = Will to Win – the drive and determination to pursue a sustainable win and legacy
Heart = Courage – moving forward, despite fear, to pursue greatness
Hoof = Speed of Execution – mastering the timing and urgency displayed by champions
Don't think of her as gone away...
her journey has just begun.
Life holds many facets,
the Earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting from
the sorrows and the tears,
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched,
For nothing loved is ever lost...
And she was loved so much.
