10 Things You Need To Know
If you’re
active on facebook, you more than likely know of the latest, “like my status
and I’ll give you a number” posting game.
The idea behind this is to reveal some things about yourself that maybe
not everybody knows. For example someone
gives you the number 10 and you share ten things about yourself. Because we value transparency at Forrest Run
and have a lot of questions from people, we decided that we wanted to play the
game and tell you 10 things you may not know about Forrest Run. We will also throw in some “need to knows”
about pet cremation.
1.
We are going to be celebrating our 30 year
anniversary in 2014.
2.
We
are “nestled” right in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
3.
The
Forrest Run property was once part of a nursery. The former owner of Forrest Run decided to section off 5 acres
of his nursery for the pet cemetery.
4.
The
cremation process for pets is exactly the same as it is for people.
5.
Your
veterinarian most likely doesn’t own or operate a pet crematory. They contract out with a pet cremation
provider like Forrest Run. Ask your
veterinarian who they use for cremation.
6.
We
have an open door policy and will show you any part of our operation. As a pet owner or a veterinarian we believe
you have the right to see how we operate.
After all, you are trusting us with a beloved family member. As a veterinarian, your clients are trusting
you with their beloved family member.
7.
We
have a walk in refrigeration system where pets are caringly placed until it is
time for cremation.
8.
We
have a scheduled time usually once per week where we visit your veterinary
clinic to pick up pets for cremation.
This is also the time we bring back the private cremations from the week
before. For a more expedient return and
for a small fee, you can request that we come to pick your pet up prior to our
scheduled visit.
9.
We
have a Scattering Garden at Forrest Run where all of the group cremated remains
are buried and can rest peacefully.
10. Now for
the biggest mystery of all !!.. (and a little humor). Contrary to popular belief, Jill and Pat are
not married. Jill joined Pat as office
manager (and many other responsibilities) in 2005. She has a wonderful husband, who helps at
Forrest Run, and a beautiful family. Pat
is not married and is happily single. He
will often say he is, ”Married to Forrest Run, which is a pretty happy
marriage”. Check out the links below to
meet us.
These are just 10 items that we hope help answer some questions. But of course we know there may be many
more. Please feel free to contact us at
any time with any questions at all.
There is no such thing as a “strange question”. In fact we welcome them.
