There are actually pet cemeteries in this country.Wonder how much it cost on average to bury abeloved pet there?

Doggone it.

I guess roll over is out of the question.

@Llewellenbruce – about 10 years ago we had to put our cat down and it would have cost about $30-40 for a marked grave but it was really out in the country too.

Tear jerker. I’ve got one of these situations coming up soon…

There is one south of Des Moines, on the back way to Indianola.

I Google’d pet cemeteries. Holy Cats!! There are more than you can swing a…. well.

As Hagrid so wisely put it, ‘people can be a bit stupid about their pets.’

yup. still hurts…

No more playing.

Even Confuscious mourned his dog. I got a couple I miss…

We’ve had our last two deceased cats cremated — in each case, the ashes were returned to us in a very nice small wooden box with a brass nameplate.

Awww! So sad. :( In 2001 we had to have our Boston Terrier put down. For the cremation and wooden urn it was $125.00 and we had to get our own inscribed plate for it. Still miss her a lot. We have another BT that will be 13 years old in July. So we know we will be going through this again.

My friend wants to be buried with his dog (Abe’s) ashes. Abe died at 15 a few years ago. I lost a cat to a coyote in 2009; it hurt more than I thought it would.

Wow … both the comic and the comments kind of got to me here tonight.

My cat is in a shady corner of a garden under a tree. R.I.P Mua.

I remember going to a circus one time, and one of the elephants had died. Beside him was a man that was really upset and bawling. Someone said “You must have been really attached to that elephant.” “It’s not that – I have been selected to bury him.”

I read that an elephant is buried in Illinois along the Mississippi River north-east of Burlington, Iowa. As I recall, the circus was in town and he was struck by lightning. Anyone with more details?
