I had Willie and Cody cremated and in sealed wooden urns. I will always do something that enables me to keep part of them with me because I find it a comfort. I don't bury for some of the same reasons as has been mentioned.

Everyone is different and what's "right" to one person may not be to another, and there's nothing wrong with that. There's no right or wrong way, and the point is that whatever you choose to do to memorialize your pet, it is a comfort to your soul and your way of respecting their remains, the same way you would a beloved family member who passed away. I don't think anyone here actually considers the ashes/remains to "be" their pet, we all know their soul has moved on.
