Here is an un usual story concerning pet remains.... When I was about 10 years old living in an apartment in the Bronx, I was outside on the stoop when my friend came downstairs carrying his dead dog. He told me his dog died and his mother had called the city to come for his dog. Just then a big garbage truck pulled up. A sanitation worker said..."Where's the dead dog"
When he saw the dog he grabbed it out of my friend's hands and carried it by holding it by it's tail. He opened the door on the side of the truck and swung the dog by it's tail up into the bed of the truck and then just drove away. My friend was just devastated.

My pets have been cremated. The last one was Abner, our little poodle who made it to 18 years. I still have his ashes. Richard and I chose cremation and have everything all paid for. Richard past last June 22nd and I have his ashes here at home with me. When my time comes, I will also be cremated. I've asked my kids to please take my ashes to California where I grew up and spread them at Mt. Tamalpais where I used to love to go and visit.

As John Prine said -

Give my stomach to Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get ‘em out of here
Venus Di Milo can have arms
(Look out I got your nose)
Sell my heart to the junk man
And give my love to Rose

I cremate my pets. I want my remains donated to science and the rest of me turned into glass. It's a cool glass sphere thing.

Pets were all buried. I thought about a green burial which is the most eco-friendly but won't put my family through that. I'll be cremated and my ashes mixed with the remainder of my husbands.. I, we, will be scattered to the winds.

1, buried my dog in his favorite spot in the garden,
2. I intend to be cremated and have my ashes spread where I spread my daughter's ashes.

I have a Pet Cemetery since 1989. Rainbow (mutt) and Benny (German Shephard) both poisoned in 1989 (killer never found), Einstein (red Doberman) in 2000 when a piece of bone lodged in his intestines, Doogie (poodle named for Doogie Houser) died of old age (adopted him from my great grandfather after he passed and only had him a couple of years), Scruffy in 2004 (terrier mutt) died of kidney failure/old age (he was significantly north of 15, but we unofficially adopted him when his owner, our neighbor, died around 1990), Charlie in 2010 (yellow lab, a crazy one a la "Marley and Me" ) died of old age after 14 years, and Barney in 2018 (yellow chihuahua terrier mix) died in the car on the way to the vet ER with enlarged heart and liver (the regular vet could do nothing). We also buried my aunt's cat there. I think its name was Tiffer, but I could be mistaken.

I wouldn't mind being buried with them. I don't think that's going to happen.

Depends on the pet. Fish go down the loo We buried the hamsters. My beautiful cat went to the vet.
As regards my own remains...I seriously don't care but hopefully my remains would be useful. Maybe compost.

Want to die in the forest so that the animals can eat, if not, compost. Same for my pets.

Compost for both of them.

In my family, we always buried our pets in the backyard but never commemorated the location with a marker of any sort — just a simple means of disposal.

After I die, I'd like my body disposed of in a dumpster fire — but, laws being what they are, regular cremation will have to suffice, with my ashes placed in a mayonnaise jar (and then tossed into a dumpster).

Pets - cremated
Me - donated to science. I hope to one day be the skeleton in a high school biology lab

Pets cremated. I move a lot.

Me? Pick me clean of use-able parts, cremate the rest, so I don't take up space. Chuck me off of something high and windy so my atoms spread as far as possible.

Whatever we can afford, lol. Nothing religious about it, digging a hole is easy and does the trick.

Veteran cemetery

We'll both be cremated.

I have a farm so all our critters, including two horses, are buried here. I’ll be in a cemetery which is subject to change.

We just throw dead pets in the valley.
We buryin' each-others in the ground inside chests, classic, I will love that one for Me.
Our monks are mostly, as I know, buryin' each-others simple in special nice cloth, without chest, called natural burial. If I was a monk or something much greater than this I would love this burial.

Cremation for both!

My problem is it takes fossil fuels to accomplish!

I would prefer compost types of burial!

It seems cost and location is the biggest obstacle for me and others!

For the first one you find a place to put remains in the ground. Only silly people would have markers and headstones. As for the second one I have decided to be cremated. My relatives can have a day of remembering me in pictures and words for the closure they need. Either my kids keep my ashes or they will know where to scatter me.

I have buried remains of my cat friends in my vegetable garden. As for my own, My body is to be cremated and the ashes scattered on a windswept point in a lake in which I loved to fish.

For pets, I've always buried them, not ritually, but just to avoid the odor, scavengers, and aesthetics.

For me, a forensic study program like the body farm.

The trash works for me for pets. I always thought that pet cemeteries were a bit too sentimental. However, I did discover one in the grounds of Port Merian. If you are unaware of the place? It was the location for the cult 60s TV show "The Prisoner". Somehow a beautiful setting to bury a much-loved animal seemed to fit in that context.

As for me, I don't care

Bury the fur ones, Set the fin ones to water.

And I also want the pod or medical science.

Anything but an open casket and all that horror.

Burn & scatter.
