Warren Veteran
I hope you don't mind me asking but how long was it before your pets have been returned to you following an individual cremation arranged via the vet practice? We live fairly rurally and about an hour away from the crematorium so I wasn't expecting it to be super quick but I am getting worried that it has been three weeks. It took me hours to psyche myself up to call the vets today and the new vet answered (which is odd as there is always someone on reception) and she said she was not back but it is usually a week (at the time the vet nurse told me around two weeks which would have been last week if she was collected the week we took her in). I had dissolved into tears by that point so couldn't ask anything else.
I am not dealing very well with her not being here and I don't feel settled that she is not home. When we took her I remember telling my OH my fear of her getting lost or them accidentally scattering her ashes or the wrong thing being ticked on the form so this is playing on my mind hugely. What if I was so upset that the nurse took the wrong details from me as to what my wishes were?? I even start thinking what if she is lost, what has happened to her and how will I trust the crematorium haven't given me some random ashes to fob me off with to cover up a mistake. I just want her home.
