Pet Cemeteries: A Peaceful Resting Place for Our Furry Companions

In life, our dogs loved to be outside, running to fetch a stick, chase a ball or even plunge into an icy river. Many of our cats also chose the outside life, hunting under trees or simply sunning their bellies on a warm day. But when our beloved pets draw their last breaths, we often struggle with what to do with their remains. Should we scatter in the woods or bury in the backyard? For those who are undecided, a pet cemetery may be the perfect option.

Growing in popularity in many regions across Canada, pet cemeteries offer a secure and safe place to inter our best friends. Most of these cemeteries have beautifully landscaped grounds, providing a place of comfort to visitors. And pet cemeteries are not just open to dogs and cats; they also cater to birds, reptiles, pigs and small mammals. Even horses are allowed at some properties.

These gated, park-like settings provide several options, from private or communal plots for full body burials to locations designated for placing cremated remains. Memorial plaques are also available to provide a physical marking to where our fur baby is resting and to record their name and lifespan. Most importantly, pet cemeteries provide peace of mind and a place to remember fond memories.

Finding a Solution for Everyone Involved

When preplanning a service, there are often many individuals who will have feelings about the type of tribute that is planned to honour and remember the life of a loved one. Family members include immediate family: spouse, children, parents, siblings and more distant relatives. There are close and not so close friends. There are workplace and social colleagues who have formed significant relationships over time. It’s surprising how many people are impacted by the death of a loved one and the connections that were shared.

When planning a service, a good starting point is considering all of those people who had ties directly or even indirectly with a loved one. Some families will even create a list as a means to determine who or who won’t attend, who needs to be advised and who would want the opportunity to pay respects. We all have impacts on the lives of others and one of the reasons to honour someone is to recognize these ties.

With an idea of who would like to be part of honouring your loved one, subsequent decisions can be made. A level of service and venue can be selected. A life can be honoured and a community of well-wishers can unite and remember.
