How long does it take to cremate a small dog?<\/strong><br data-start=\"461\" data-end=\"464\" \/>The cremation of a small dog usually lasts between <strong data-start=\"515\" data-end=\"538\">45 minutes and 1 hour<\/strong>. It is a faster process because the volume of matter is smaller, but just as respectful as that of a large animal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"658\" data-end=\"870\"><strong data-start=\"658\" data-end=\"704\">2. How long does it take to cremate a large dog?<\/strong><br data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"707\" \/>A medium to large sized dog may take <strong data-start=\"754\" data-end=\"788\">between 1.5 and 2 hours<\/strong>depending on their weight and the type of cremation chosen (individual or collective).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"1106\"><strong data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"930\">3. How long does it take before the ashes are delivered?<\/strong><br data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"933\" \/>At FuneralVet, the ashes are delivered <strong data-start=\"972\" data-end=\"1004\">within 12 to 24 hours<\/strong> from the collection of the pet. If the family attends the process, the delivery takes place on the same day.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1393\"><strong data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1158\">4. May I be present during the cremation?<\/strong><br data-start=\"1158\" data-end=\"1161\" \/>Yes. You can accompany your pet for the first few minutes or wait in our <strong data-start=\"1245\" data-end=\"1315\"><a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralvet.com\/en\/sala-de-despedida\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1313\">farewell room<\/a><\/strong>.

What is the difference between individual and collective cremation in terms of time?<\/strong><br data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1484\" \/>Cremation <strong data-start=\"1497\" data-end=\"1511\">individual<\/strong> is shorter (about 1 hour), as only one pet per shift is performed. The <strong data-start=\"1597\" data-end=\"1610\">collective<\/strong> can last more than 2 hours when the chamber is shared with other animals.<br \/>\nRead more here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralvet.com\/en\/cremacion-individual-mascotas\/\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Individual pet cremation and difference with collective cremation<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1690\" data-end=\"1930\"><strong data-start=\"1690\" data-end=\"1752\">6. Does the size of the furnace influence the cremation time?<\/strong><br data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1755\" \/>Yes, state-of-the-art ovens, such as those from FuneralVet, optimise the process without any loss of precision or respect. Even so, the duration is always adjusted to the size of the animal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1932\" data-end=\"2224\"><strong data-start=\"1932\" data-end=\"2000\">7. Can the process be accelerated if I am in a hurry for the ashes?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2000\" data-end=\"2003\" \/>The cremation cycle is never accelerated. At FuneralVet we prioritise the <strong data-start=\"2072\" data-end=\"2101\">traceability and respect<\/strong> about speed. If you need the ashes the same day, we manage the time to deliver them with all the guarantees.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2226\" data-end=\"2475\"><strong data-start=\"2226\" data-end=\"2281\">8. What happens after the cremation is over?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2281\" data-end=\"2284\" \/>The furnace is allowed to cool before the ashes are handled. The ashes are then collected by hand and placed in the urn or kit, together with the <strong data-start=\"2420\" data-end=\"2448\">cremation certificate<\/strong> and the identification plate.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2477\" data-end=\"2708\"><strong data-start=\"2477\" data-end=\"2533\">9. Can I choose the time to come and say goodbye?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2533\" data-end=\"2536\" \/>Yes, if you prefer, you can arrange your visit to say goodbye before or after the process. In our private room everything is prepared for a quiet and personal farewell.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2477\" data-end=\"2708\">You can find more information here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralvet.com\/en\/despedirse-de-tu-perro\/\">How to know when it's time to say goodbye to your dog<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2710\" data-end=\"3026\"><strong data-start=\"2710\" data-end=\"2776\">10.
