In our backyard we have buried 7 beloved critters. We had them cremated. The ashes were put in a Rubbermaid container with a laminated picture and a copy of The Rainbow Bridge poem. On the ground, above each site, is a brick engraved with their name and years with us.

We try to bury each one in a spot that was special to them. For instance, Mouse(cat) is in a garden on the lot line. He was always guarding the yard from intruders. Nelly Jane(cat) and Jenny(dog) are buried side by side - as that is how they lived their lives.
