Basics To Expect When Planning A Pet Funeral

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.

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.

The youngest members of the family might have an especially tough time saying farewell to the family pet. The adults can sit them down and gently explain the situation. When toddlers understand the natural cycle of life and death, they should more easily make it through.

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.
