About Pet Memorials

Burial at Home
This is the traditional resting place for
many family pets but digging a grave is no easy task. In a heavy soil there
should be at least two feet of soil on top of the burial but in a light sandy
soil we would advise three feet. You may wish to have a coffin for your pet and
you can buy a range from eco-friendly ones made from cardboard, willow, jute
and bamboo through to more elaborate and solid traditional coffins. If you do
not use a solid coffin then be sure to cover the grave with some paving stones
to stop any wild animals digging down. Before you go ahead think about how you
will feel having the grave in the garden. Many people simply do not like the
idea once the pet is buried or do not want to leave their pet when they move.
Pet Cemetery
This can range from a formal burial plot to
a green burial where trees are planted on the grave. All cemeteries are
different and it is important to visit the site to see if it appeals to you.

type of burial plot you want and how or if you wish to have the plot marked in
any way. Then see what cemeteries are nearest to you and if they meet your
requirements. You may have to travel some distance to find one that satisfies
you. The cemetery will usually provide the grave and the practical side of
the burial. You are usually free to carry out your own ceremony but discuss any
specific details with the staff in advance.
