New Ask a Mortician
Added 2014-09-10 01:00:17 +0000 UTCHi deathlings! If you did not see this float by on social media this morning, here is the new Ask a Mortician. Everyone is being so kind about my fluffy curmudgeon moving to the great beyond. The video is a little more personal that usual but I hope it's also informative for all of you with animals of your own. ps- Sorry if it's a little sobby. Facing mortality is hard, I know!

Just saw this for the first time. I had a wake for my cat after she died a couple weeks back and then had her cremated. My family always buried animals, but after a traumatic experience in which the easement was dug up I've been afraid to do so. Nevermind that I have my own house now... I'm regretting it a little and part of me wishes I had buried her in the backyard somewhere. My partner offered to dig the hole. She died peacefully at home (before the at home euthanasia vet could come) and I have her ashes now, her favorite toys, I saved her whiskers and toe fur ( I intend to buy a keeper from an etsy maker). I intend to make her a memorial garden outside in a sunny spot, and keep her ashes, toys, photos inside in an altar area memorializing her.

2020-10-29 12:19:26 +0000 UTCRIP Meow, thank you for sharing Caitlin. I know I miss my bestest friend/dog Dave (aka Dave Matthews). I had him euthanized due to complications of lupus. So, to keep things real and light a little story.... I had him cremated and I made a beautiful wooden box to keep him in. I asked the vet to put him in the box and glue it shut when they got him back. They did. What they didn't do is keep him in a ziplock baggie NOR did they glue the box properly. So sometimes when people pick up Dave in his beautiful wooden box, he still greats them by jumping on them or falling on them - potato - patahtoe!
