Recommendations for how to bury a small pet:

First of all - place in a cooler with ice or in a bag in a freezer until plans have been made.

Funerals for animals, just as for people, are very personal things. I can only describe what I do when one of my own pets have passed on. Right from when I was very little, my mother added a touch of ceremony to the whole funeral and this has, and will, stay with me forever.

If you are to bury any animal in your garden or backyard, it is important to choose a spot away from any public waterway and to bury your pet deep enough. Many local authorities require the pet be buried at least 2 feet deep. This will help prevent your pet from being dug up by another animal. It may also help to wrap the body in biodegradable cloth and put him or her in plastic bags, and place the pet in your freezer for a couple of days. Then remove the bags and bury your pet. Alternatively you can enquire at your local veterinary clinic for their Cremation service.

Soon after our pet had passed on, my mother and my family would sit together and make or adapt a cardboard box or other biodegradable container to form a coffin. When it was ready, we'd all take turns writing special messages on the box or place letters and tiny drawings inside. We would line the box with a little bedding and include minute amounts of a favorite treat our pet enjoyed, to 'send them on their way'. We'd gently place our loved one in the box. After a little while we'd say our farewells, often in between great sobs of sorrow, and gather a little candle to make the slow trek to the final resting place.

The hole was lined with the thinnest layer of bedding and after the coffin was placed in the ground, we all told our pet how much we love him or her, and how we'd miss him. We recited the Lord's Prayer, and talked of happy memories. Then each family member in turn placed a little earth into the grave, uttering yet more little messages. When we were little my brother and I would stand holding the candle, behind my mother while she would fill in the rest of the grave.

It is a good idea to 'heap' the soil on the grave, as they do in cemeteries, since as the body, of your loved one returns to the ground, the soil sinks in. It is much nicer, when the process is complete, to have level ground, as opposed to an indent, where your pet lay.

When the soil was heaped smoothly over, we'd place a simple cross on the grave made from two twigs bound together with twine, and also a couple of flowers from the garden. A few times my brother and I placed Dandelion flowers on the grave. Children are rarely concerned whether the flowers are weeds or not. Then we said a final few words, and (only did where it was safe to do so !) placed the candle on the grave top and left. More often than not, once back in the house, I'd cuddle up to my mother sobbing and talking about how I missed the much loved pet. My mother would agree and comfort me, making sure to listen and give me the time I needed. It is vitally important to try to answer any questions a child may have in a simple but honest manner.
