The boxes were only for small animals, as we saw a lot of them. Actually, I think right before I left we may have had some little coffin type things. We always made sure to position them carefully and wrap them nicely in paper towels inside the box. I think I like the tissue paper idea though.

When we took our pets in for euthanasia, I brought their favorite blanket or piece of fabric I had chosen that reflected their personality. After they were gone, I wrapped them in the fabric so they could be sent for cremation. I don't know if the fabric was actually cremated with them (I doubt it), but it was a way for me to prepare them, and myself, for their final journey. <br /><br />Maybe you could do something similar for the clients. The practice could get several inexpensive animal print fabrics or solid colors to use as a wrap to send pets home in. I think it would be a thoughtful touch, and much nicer than trying to find some sort of box to put them in. Even several layers of tissue paper would work for the extra-small pets. We buried our hamster after wrapping her in several layers of pink tissue paper.

She found a company that would take the dog's ashes and turn them into wearable stones. She had a necklace made from her dog's ashes that she treasures.
