NEWS FROM THE PET WORLD
“Faithful to our four-legged friends,
even on their final journey…”
Paraphrasing a famous quote by the Scottish man of letters Walter Scott, we might surmise that dogs’ lives are so short out of compassion for the human race. If you think about it, we suffer terribly when we lose a dog, even though our time together lasts, on average, just 12 years or so… Imagine, then, how much greater our pain would be if we shared our lives with them for longer… For 20, 25, or 30 years…
For the American writer Agnes Sligt Turnbull, on the other hand, it is their “too short life” that’s to blame. And if the passing of a dog—or of any other beloved pet, for that matter—inevitably causes grief, we believe the time has come—especially in light of the very recent administrative decree by the Municipality of Milan […] that allows the deceased (by their own wishes or those of their heirs) to include the ashes of their beloved pet within their burial niche—to make ourselves available to “accompany” our cherished companions on their final “journey”…
By enlisting the expertise of outstanding partners who meet all legal requirements for the transport, burial, and cremation of animals […], La Maison Sissy is thus expanding the range of services it offers its clientele.

And now, in light of the new administrative resolution by the City of Milan […]—which effectively opens the gates of Milan’s cemeteries to the ashes of pets—we’re preparing to expand our range of services to include what we might call the ‘post-life’ stage. “After all,” adds Maddem, “as I recently mentioned in an interview with RAI, we have a conscientious, informed clientele who place unconditional trust in us by entrusting their dogs to our care while they’re alive… How could we fail to handle what I would call their final ‘journey’—their very last ‘journey’? “Moreover, how could we not offer solace and support to the owners of our four-legged friends during a time marked by the grief of losing a true member of the family—something that, according to the renowned American psychologist Frank McAndrew, can jolt one’s daily routine even more profoundly than the loss of most friends or relatives?…”
