To many, mourning the loss of a pet is similar to losing a close friend or family member. Pets are constant companions; many living with their owners for numerous years. And just like a close friend or family member, a beloved pet cannot be replaced.
Mourning the Loss of a Pet
Mourning the loss of a pet is more common today than in years past. For example, your pet, whether it be a dog, cat, lizard, fish or bird, can be buried at a pet cemetery instead of your own back yard. You can purchase a casket for your deceased animal or have him or her cremated.
Nowadays, it's not uncommon to hold a memorial service for your pet, with services held that are similar to that of a human. Eulogies and memorial poems and condolences are also appropriates, as are purchasing sympathy gifts, such as a gift basket or piece of jewelry.
