Basics You Should Know When Organizing A Pet Memorial

Dealing with a pet funeral can be a very rough job indeed. If the animal that has died was a family member for many years, then a proper sendoff will need to be given. As long as the dog or cat is shown the proper deference, everyone in the family should have a much easier time mourning its passing.

People must first decide what they will do with the pet. Small birds, for example, can be gently placed in a shoebox and buried in the back yard. Larger animals will require a bit more planning. Dogs and cats might have to be buried in a larger box.

As an alternative, individuals might also decide to have the animal cremated. There are a variety of lovely urns that can ultimately be chosen, and the ashes can be carefully kept in the container for many years. Most urns have sealed tops so that the ashes themselves cannot get out.

A ceremony for a beloved pet might also involve a number of pictures. Images of Fido or Fluffy in their younger days can be laid out for all to see. This is a wonderful way to honor the animal, and all attendees will be pleased with the choice. Some pictures might even be framed and set up near the grave for a few days.

Small kids might have an especially tough time with the loss of a family pet. They might need to have the situation gently explained to them by a loved one. With some delicate words, they will eventually understand that their animal friend will not be coming back.

In the end, a pet funeral will have to be planned out by the family well in advance. Adults should follow a checklist so that they can take care of all needed tasks. As long as the list has been double checked, there should not be any problems going forward.
