As horrible as it may sound, there are very few things in this universe, which are as certain as death. No matter how much we hate it, we cannot deny the same. When a loved one passes away, many of us tend to remain in a state of denial for a few hours. When the truth finally sinks in, the pain is really inexplicable.

If you are someone for whom pets mean the world, the short life of your beloved pet can be pretty devastating. Fortunately, like humans, you can have a funeral of your choice and even wear the remains of your beloved pet as gemstones on your body.

Below is a list of some funeral options that you can avail for your pet.

Home Burial: This is undoubtedly one of the most popular options which homeowners choose when it comes to laying their pet to rest. However, before you proceed with your plans make sure your state allows home burial. You need to have sufficient open space in your garden or backyard to dig out a grave that is at least 3 meters deep so that your pet’s remains stay safe within the funeral caskets even if the ground is dug at a later stage for plantation purposes. Besides offering flowers for a funeral, many people choose to put a tombstone or plant a tree near the grave as a memorial.

Cremation Procedure: This is a good option for people who live in apartments and do not have the option for a home burial. You can arrange for a private cremation of your pet in one of the many pet crematoriums and then collect the ashes and store them in beautifully decorated cremation urns. These urns can be customized as per the need of the customer along with the picture of your favorite pet. It is a great way to stay connected with your beloved even after death. The arrangement for the cremation is usually done by the veterinarian or you can find them in many local search engines.

Cemetery Burial: If you cared for your pet like a member of a household, then perhaps you would like to give him a formal cemetery burial. There are literally hundreds of cemeteries all over the United States who offer burial services for pets. It is a great way to perpetuate the memories of your pet, even if you do not have enough space in your backyard or plan to move from one state to the other.

Deciding on the type of funeral you wish to give to your beloved pet should be a family decision. Some people lay importance on the soul while others attach a lot of importance to the mortal remains through which they hope to remain connected with someone who has been their best friend all throughout his mortal life.
