Your treasured pet has died. Now, you face the sometimes difficult task of choosing your cat's final resting place.
You may want to bury your cat in your yard. Be aware that there can be laws against doing this, so be sure to check before proceeding. If you decide to move somewhere else later on, you probably won't be moving the cat with you. The new property owners might not be agreeable to you visiting your cat's grave. And, there is always a chance that an animal could disturb the burial site.
Burial in a pet cemetery may interest you. This can be costly, as you must purchase at least a plot and a casket. Most people also opt to be a grave marker which can be expensive, especially if you choose lots of personalization. An advantage is that you will be able to visit the grave no matter where you may move. And, someone else should be keeping the grave site maintained.
Cremation is commonly chosen for deceased pets. In one type of cremation, your pet is cremated by itself, and the ashes from your pet returned to you. In the other type, many animals are cremated at one time, and you receive ashes from the mass cremation instead of from just your animal. Usually the ashes are returned to you in a cardboard urn. Many urns are available that can be personalized for your pet, and some can be pretty pricey.
The death of a pet can be a very tough time for you. If possible, think about which option you would choose before you are faced with making a difficult decision during a time of stress.
