What if I want to make my own arrangements?

Burying a pet at home is very natural and helps many through the bereavement process and to achieve closure. There may be city and county codes that must be adhered to for pet burials. Check with your township or municipality for guidelines and rules. Once that is cleared and you have selected a site on your property, preparing the site is next. The depth of the burial site is very essential. The site should be at least 2 to 3 feet deep to prevent other animals from disturbing your pet and stop the freeze/thaw cycle from unearthing them. Many people will plant a flowering bush or place a grave marker over their pet.
