When your pet passes away, do you bury them or do you place them in a trash bag and throw them away on garbage pickup day?

Bury them. My dad had my old Australian Shepherd cremated and put in an urn where she sits on a table in the living room, forever in our sight and mind.

Bury. It deserves to have the same treat as a family member.

Bury them.

I live at an apartment complex. I don't have a back yard. Just a large parking lot. Which has a huge dumpster and a lot of stray cats. Every once and a while one dies on the sidewalk near my door or over by my neighbors door.

The cats get sick and like to get behind the AC units next to the back doors. That's where they like to die.

No one cleans it up when the cat starts to rot and the flies start buzzing in a large mass around it. So, I just hold my breath, grab a trash bag, bag the dead cat, and go drop it in the dumpster. Evidently I'm not the only bagging them.

Well, that's a different situation. You just asked what most people do when their personal pets die. If I had the ability to do so, I would bury them or have them cremated and buried in my backyard.

I was just explaining that because some people bury stray animals that have passed away. When I was living out in the country, hadn't been married for very long. My cat died. I buried her in the front lawn.

Why the front lawn? Did you mark the spot?

It was a rental house and the landlord was okay with us burying my dead pet. They just didn't want anything in the yard. No markers or headstones.

I would bury it if i had the guts to do that. it's very sad to have a pet die on you then you have to bury it. i would rather have someone bury it for me. last year my cat died when i was not around so my sister and my mum put it in garbage bag and threw it away i felt so bad but it had to be done.

I've always buried my pets who have passed away, I would never think to just throw them away. To me pets are family, and if for some reason I wasn't able to bury my pet I would look into cremation and have their ashes scattered somewhere. (I did this with mine and my wife's late cat Baby. We took her to the vet to get cremated, and they disposed of her ashes.)

  2. Cremation and get ashes back.
  3. Cremation and don't get ashes back.
  4. Bury in your yard.
  5. Pay some farmer/property owner etc, to bury an animal on their land.
  6. Secretly bury in a park, random property.
  7. Dumpster.

I have them cremated and put in an urn. The urn has a name plate and the urns are kept in a curio cabinet in my living room.

Okay, I've done #3 with the last dog I had. I haven't thought about what I'm going to do when my current dog passes away.

Our vet told us it's actually illegal for us to "take home and bury" our deceased pet. But he was our vet for like the entire time, and knew us and our dog for 15 years. On that account, he looked the other way when we took her body home.... :(
