As more people live alone, the number of people who raise pets to relieve their loneliness is increasing. They become attached to each other by raising pets, and they also become more cherished than their families. However, pets may die earlier than people because their lifespan is shorter than that of humans. In this case, a job as a pet funeral director was created to make people's sadness smaller.

When a request for a funeral for a companion animal happens, the funeral process is discussed with the client and a permanent car is sent to the home to drive the body to the funeral hall. The body of the companion animal is straightened and applied, and the entrance is made after collecting it cleanly and through acupuncture. A pet that died in an accident should be recovered as clean as possible by sewing the body with a surgical needle.

When the entrance is completed, the funeral ceremony and makeup are performed to suit the client's religion. After cremation, the remains are recovered, the bones are handed over to the customer, and the ceremony is closed. Depending on the customer, there are some cases where only makeup is done, and behind the makeup, they are placed in a charnel house owned by a pet funeral company or sprayed outdoors.

For customers who are unable to directly participate in the funeral, all processes shall also be filmed and provided in a video.
