What You Should Expect When Arranging 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.

The burial will be a big deal. Smaller animals can be buried in a little cardboard box. Larger animals might not fit in a small shoebox and will instead have to be placed in the ground without a container. Many people choose to bury the creature in the back yard under a beautiful tree.

Other individuals might want to have a cremation instead. Instead of burying the animal in soil, the ashes can be scattered in the forest or added to an urn. Most urns are very decorative and will feature sealed tops. This way, the ashes will not become dislodged.

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 a hard time dealing with the event. If this occurs, parents can gently take them aside and explain what has happened. With tactfulness, the adults will be able to help the kids through the ceremony.

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.
