For those who don't often frequent the Ontario forum, I thought I would also share this here, as this (in my opinion) is a pretty unique location.
Took a weekend road-trip out of province recently with RiddimRyder and on our way back we made a number of stops in Ontario between the Quebec border and Belleville.
One of the places we knew we wanted to see was a location that Finz519 introduced to us a a few years ago, this very unique pet crematorium.
Located down some forgotten rural road in Ontario, up a short driveway in a field next to an abandoned house.
A small tin roof shack with chimneys, through a door that reads "Employees Only", you are immediately greeted by the sight of a large metal oven, with a large heavy door. To the left, a white bx full of urns, wooden boxes for ashes and porcelain urns.
Move beyond the oven and you will find the schedule for a whole years worth of cremations scheduled every day. Names like Woody, Benji, Bart, Ash, Finnigan and Trigger grace the pages of the day calendar.
In the back, a very old cremation oven and three food processors that were used to pulverize bone fragments into ash.
On the floor, a bucket almost full to the rim with bone fragments, and all over the floor, bits of bones scattered everywhere. We even found a complete rib bone.
For those interested here is a video from the location with an image gallery
For those who aren't interested in the video, here are some photos from inside
Surely one of the most unique and saddest places I have explored. There were a number of small urns with the ashes of pets in them that were never claimed.

That is so sad. But somewhere I would love to see.
I really need to meet up with you guys when I'm next over. Considering I spend so much time in Buffalo with our mutual friends it seems crazy I've only ever been north of the border once.
