宠物殡葬是一个针对养宠物人群的刚需行业。
据统计,2021年中国饲养猫狗的人群数量达到了6844万人,而且这个数字还在不断增长。
因此,宠物的身后事也会成为一个很大的问题。
而宠物殡葬也在这几年成了中国一个迅速发展的行业。
当宠物去世以后,很多主人往往不知道该如何处理。
如果随便找一个地方埋葬,不仅主人情感上不能接受,对环境也可能造成污染。
一个成熟的、标准化的殡葬仪式能让主人感到非常强的慰藉,整个告别过程的参与感也很强。
很多宠物殡葬服务会分为四大部分:前期服务、告别仪式、火化仪式和骨灰安置。
当主人来到宠物殡仪馆时,前期的客服会先了解客户的需求,初步安排宠物的后事;
然后殡葬师会将宠物主人和宠物都接到服务点,进行遗体清洁后,举办正式的告别仪式;
之后殡葬师将宠物遗体火化;
最后殡葬师会将宠物的骨灰收纳好,交还给主人。
整个过程大概会持续两个小时。
但有时候碰到主人过度伤心的情况,也会充分尊重主人的感受,让主人表达悲痛,不对他们进行干扰。
对于骨灰盒的安置,也有多种选择。
主人可以带走自己处理,也可以交给殡葬服务的寄存点,随时来看望;
也有人选择将宠物的骨灰做成晶石、项链等,随身携带;
也可以安置在合作的寺庙或者树林中。
除了处理宠物的遗体,宠物殡葬服务还有一项重要的任务,就是帮助主人们疏导悲伤的情绪。
很多宠物的死亡是突如其来的意外,主人很难一下子接受这个事实。
而殡葬服务的工作人员会和他们聊宠物生前的事情,帮助他们进行情绪疏导,让他们接受这个事实。
死亡不应该是生命的终点,而是另一种开始。
死亡也不是分别,遗忘才是。
目前中国已经有1900多家宠物殡葬的公司了,而中国每年去世的宠物大概有一千万只。
宠物殡葬行业还是一片蓝海,极具发展潜力。
