According to this site, there are several options related to taking care of your pets body after it has passed. They list the following:
Home Burial - Digging a hole and putting your pet in your backyard. My family has always done this.
Cremation – This seems to range anywhere from $30 to $350 bucks depending on how you want it done.
Pet Cemetaries – Prices will vary and can be costly if you’re paying a monthly fee.
Pet Taxidermy or freeze-drying – I wouldn’t want to see my pet frozen on my counter, but some ppl do.
Veterinary Hospital Care – Basically you’d surrender their body.
Educational Memorial – Basically turning them into cadavers for research.
Personally, I’ve had many pets buried in my backyard….dogs, birds, rabbits, fishes….but as of this moment, I think I would actually like to cremate my dogs and scatter their ashes somewhere nice when it’s time for them to go.
This may be a sensitve subject for some, but just like human bodies, I feel that it is important to think ahead to save the financial headaches down the line.
