Evansville Pet Crematory Coming?

Whenever I have had a pet that died, we bury it in a backyard or at my dad’s office. If Titzer Funeral Homes has it’s way, I can have my pet cremated and put in an urn on my mantle next to grandmother and Aunt Judith. The Titzer’s are proposing putting the pet crematory across the street from their funeral home, but residents in the neighborhood are not pleased.

Residents say that the crematory will be noisy and emit a lovely odor. To combat the proposed doggie kiln, they have presented a petition at a city zoning hearing last week with nearly 100 signatures of neighbors against the proposal. The board of zoning appeals gave Titzer until June 21 to work out a solution with the neighbors before they get involved.

There’s presently no pet crematory in the Evansville area. If you want such as service presently, you need to drive to Louisville. Personally, I am not so sure I want my yorkies or bichon forever on my mantle, nor do I really want them to continue marking their territory by spreading ashes around the backyard. What about you? Would you be interested in cremating a pet?
