I was sitting at the vets today, and found this phamplet I actually took it home and put it away. It was cremation of your animals, I had read it online seeing as I was curious of the cost. They have some neat things to put their ashes in. Most vets will opt to cremate or if you leave them they get loaded in a slaughter truck and taken to a pit and dumped. Whereas most vets here will let you take them home and bury them. I want to cremate them as I may move several times, and want to bring them, not bury them as if found they will toss them lik garbage. I know several who have cremated their animals and have them on their nightstands or mantle.

My family has had our dogs cremated and then there ashes spread out into the air to let them rest in the world. In the USA they do it a bit different some people's even get ther animals stuffed after they die or get them bared.

You can get that done here, but it's rather pricey. Most vets will give you back the animal after putting it down.

Here it coast money too but I've never had to pay for it. Most people here have pet insurances so when that happens its over.

We don’t have such customs in terms of pet remains, though cremation is practiced here in my country but for human-cremation and not on animals. On the other hand, I rather choose a traditional animal burial rather than cremation, because it’s quite customary in my country on doing traditional animal burial and I don’t find it as if they are thrown like garbage because we do have a local pet cemetery here in my place.

hui ricki oh that makes sense to cremate them of course. I had never thought about the remains of ones precious pets as we had just buried them on the farm. I would have liked to cremate my dogs but did not know that they did cremate pets.thats a great ides.
