What You Should Know When Organizing A Pet Memorial

When adults have been charged with organizing a pet funeral, they'll have to look into things carefully. They may even want to seek some professional advice early on in the process. There are a number of perfectly fine ways that a dog or cat can be honored with a memorial service.

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.

Cremation might also be an option for some people. This way, the ashes themselves can be saved. Most urns can store ashes for a long period of time. Urns also have sealed tops so that the ashes inside will not spill out onto the floor if the container slips over on its side.

Pictures of the animal might also be presented to guests. This is a good way to remember the dog or cat. Friends and neighborhoods might appreciate a look at Fluffy as he was a few years before. These pictures can later be set up around the house after the ceremony is finished.

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.

At the end of the day, a pet funeral should be planned properly. Some families might wish to pull out all the stops. Whether they want to do a burial or a cremation, they can seek professional advice before they begin. Fluffy can be given an eminently elegant sendoff with flowers and memorial plaques.
