WVDL (Madison and Barron Laboratories) will continue to offer cremation services through Trusted Journey Pet Memorial Services (previously called Midwest Cremation Service). However, as of September 1, 2024, it will be the responsibility of the submitter (clinic, rDVM, or owner) to directly work with Trusted Journey Pet Memorial Service to order and pay for cremation services that are desired.
WVDL will no longer place the Trusted Journey Pet Memorial Services (formerly Midwest Cremation) cremation order or charge our DVM/clinic clients for cremation services. Website for Trusted Journey Pet Memorial Service: https://www.trustedjourney.com/
The submitter will be required to provide a copy of the Midwest Cremation Service order to the WVDL along with the Necropsy Submission Form. Ashes will be returned directly to the submitting clinic or owner.
Handling of cremations sent to Memorial Pet Service (Madison Laboratory only) will remain the same (submitter directly works with MPS to order and pay for service).
Please contact WVDL if you have any questions regarding this policy change.
