McCaleb Funeral Home Pet Cremation Services
Serving Mercedes, Texas. Weslaco, Texas and Hidalgo County.
Our mission is simple: To love and care for each and every animal just like we would want someone to take care of ours.
Private Cremation
A private cremation means your pet is placed in the cremation chamber alone. Upon completion of the cremation, your pet's cremated remains are removed from the chamber, and returned to you, in an urn of your choice.
Individual Cremation
Here, your pet shares space in the cremation chamber with other pets, but as each pet carries a unique identification tag into the chamber, you’re ensured of receiving only your pet’s cremated remains, in the urn of your choice.
Communal Cremation
In a communal cremation, your pet is cremated along with a number of other pets, and the cremated remains are not separated. No cremated remains are returned to you. It is common practice for these cremated remains to be scattered on private land by one of our staff members.
Viewing Cremation
Many times family members want to be involved in the cremation of their pet. This is just like a private cremation, but your family is present during the cremation in a viewing room. This option is not available at all crematories. Please ask our staff for further information.
Have Questions?
We know how important and difficult this can be. We are here for you should you need us and our services. The special bond between humans and animals can only be described as unconditional love.
Please do not hesitate to call us with questions.
