Once the pet has passed away, knowing what to do with the remains can also be a difficult decision. We encourage you to think about this in advance and have an idea of your wishes, as after the pet passes you will be emotional and do not want to later regret decisions that cannot be undone.
Home burial may be an option. We recommend you check with city ordinances where you live to assure there are no restrictions. We also suggest you evaluate the likelihood you may not always live at your current residence. In such a case you may wish you could have your pet go where you go, and cremation may be the best option.
