Basics To Expect When Organizing A Proper Pet Funeral

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.

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.

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.

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.
