I wonder if they give people a good talking to about the care of a freeze dried pet. I mean they can and do get mites that eat them and also their hair can fall out if you pet them too much. I don't think I'd be able to move on if I could see Autumn daily even though her being gone would be a heartbreak. I don't think clinging to a stuffed body would suit me. I also won't do individual cremation. I mean, look at how many cases are discovered of the cremation place just giving you a random handful of ashes and telling you its your loved one. Even the 9/11 victims ended up in a garbage dump when they were supposed to be cremated. Do you really think your pet's ashes are going to get back to you? I don't think so. I think they all throw them together regardless and you'll get back the amount of ashes equavalent to your pet's size worth of ashes from the pile of cremated pets.
