I have a pet buried in the back yard, does that count?
No, because you have to take your Lil buddy to the vet to get euthanized before you get ashes. Part of the fun trauma of this age is having to be old enough to make that decision. That today is fluffy's last day on earth. Then you get to be guilted by the vet into buying some sort of memorial package in a moment of weakness.
Having your pal turn up toes at home is what gets you a backyard burial. Not awful enough, sorry friend.
Nope we did that. Vet just came to the house.
And yes that was the absolute hardest thing I’ve ever done. We scheduled it on a Friday and had to wait an entire weekend for it to happen on Monday. I am a 54 year old man and I cried like a little baby the whole weekend.
And they did indeed have a brochure of things to memorialize your pet. This was pretty recent so the brochure is actually still on the mantle.
So I’m thinking it does count 😏
Oh, you can have them cremated even if they died peacefully at home, either through a vet or by dealing directly with a pet crematorium. And you can take the body home to bury in the yard even if you've put them to sleep.
