Deceased Pets
We have had three cats in the past 46 years. They have all passed. We always buried them on our property. What do people do who have dogs... that are bigger than cats and...maybe the property isn't big enough to bury them at home..Just wondering. NB

I have the ashes of my two dogs in two separate containers, which sit on the mantle.

We put two dogs to rest over the past two years and both were cremated.
The ashes are in small cedar box, with Gus gone this year we are going to spread their ashes together. |

We have the ashes of 4 beloved dogs in a large urn-ish sort of thing in our bedroom. My parents in Michigan also have portions of those ashes as well, not sure in what though.
I had originally intended to bury the first dog we lost on our property in Michigan, glad I didn't since we don't seem to be too tied to any one place too long.

Not sure what the laws are in NH, but in Mass, you could only bury your pet, as you wanted, if they die at home on their own, otherwise, with assisted death, they need to be cremated, or, buried at a pet cemetery. Our Simmie, is also with us, tucked safe in a cedar box.She resides on a shelf in my living room, and I still come home, and say, "hi, Sim !"

When Dad passed away he was survived by his beautiful Golden Retriever Sam. When Mom passed nearly 14 years later I took Sam's urn and Mom's urn and placed them both in the small grave with Dad's urn. The director at the cemetery told me it was not "legal" to place a dog's ashes in a "people" cemetery but the grave diggers "looked the other way" as I broke the "law" and did it anyway. After all, Sam was family and I'm sure Mom and Dad wouldn't object.
