What do you plan to do when your beloved pet pass's away?
Cremated ?
Buried ?
Stuffed?

My collies were cremated and their ashes sealed into wooden box urns. They sit on a shelf in the 'dog room' where they look over my present babies.

I wanted to be able to have them near me always.

yup all mine will be cremated. Sad to think about before hand, or actually anytime but it has to be done.
I'm not quite sure if I have them released w/ me when I go or if I ever find my forever home they may be released there.

I don't want to think about it either. I don't even know what my mom did with her RB babies. I always feel uncomfortable thinking about it so I try not to.

[binka_nugget]

I hate thinking about this but I think it's best if I know what I will do before hand..so I have one less thing to think about when it happens. Both of mine will be cremated.

Cremated.

I agree it is hard to think about, especially when in relation to the babies that are with you now. It is a bit easier to talk about once you are talking about the past.

Everyone deals with these things differently. My mother-in-law had her sheltie Devon, who just passed away this last summer, buried in a pet cemetary. She said she just could not have handled having his urn there where it would always remind her and make her grieve.

For me, I felt immediately comforted feeling like I had them with me again to watch over me. It is my tribute to their wonderful gift of life and love to me that I keep their memory strong with me. Sure it is painful at times, but also when I look upon their memorial, I feel flooded with a feeling of warmth and love, and I am convinced their souls communicate this feeling to me from where ever they look down upon me beyond the Rainbow Bridge.

"Remember our love, remember we are waiting for you here." I can just feel it.

I really don't know, probably cremated. That's because I could have him with me anywhere I go.

I Know its something most people just don't want to think about, whether it is their pets or themselves, but as you get older, you do tend to think about these things, well at least with regard to the end of your own life.

I buried my darling RB Sooti, underneath our camelia tree, its a very special place, with many things on his grave site, I have mentioned it before, but for those of you who missed it, he has a butterfly,(he used to love to catch them) a heart ornament , an angel ornament(as he was one of those for sure) and artificial sunflowers(for respect) and a special heart shaped stone my daughter and I decorated together, its painted pale green, with glitter all over it, with his name on it in black with paw prints all over it.

His coffin we will call it, was a decorated cardboard box, with loving messages from us all, my daughters idea, as she had done this with her grandmother's passing, he is wrapped up gently in a bedsheet.

I will do the same for any of my beloved pets who pass on to the rainbow bridge, they will have special places all over the section.

Infact I am about to get some new flowers and ornaments for Sootis grave, I always look after his gravesite, as its the only way I can feel close to him, and I still miss my furbaby so much.

This is something that I would NEVER do.
The reason:
You know how your pets have that glint in their eye when they are feeling michevious, and even other glints when they have different feelings? If I had my pets stuffed, the glint would be gone. It wouldn't be my baby. I would not be able to stand it.
