Owners Perspective - Burial Options

Deciding on a burial option for your dog is a deeply personal one.

After Lynda McKee’s Pembroke Welsh corgi, Bickley, died a few years ago, she delivered his body to a crematorium near her home in Hiram, Georgia.

“I was a wreck,” recalled McKee.

During the 45 minute drive, she called a good friend on her cell phone.

“We cried. We laughed. We swapped Bickley stories,” she recalls. “It was like having our own private funeral ceremony. It was very soothing to me and something I am really glad I did.”

Kim Yount of Miami, Florida, has kept the ashes of the many dogs she and her husband have owned over the years.

“We put in our will that when we pass, we choose to be cremated, and all of us together sprinkled in the Caribbean Sea,” she said. “We have always felt strongly about all of us being buried together.”
 
Jan Korch feels the same way about her lhasa mix, Choo Choo, who died in 2004 at age 14.

“He never wanted to be away from me in life and I wasn’t about to put him in the ground somewhere and separate us,” said Korch, who lives outside of Pittsburg. “If I move, (his ashes) go with me. And when it’s my time, he’ll be buried with me.”
