It seems that deciding what to do about an animal's funeral and final goodbye is even harder than the goodbye itself.
I'm sorry if this is upsetting but I can't bear to send his remains to the communal cremation and thence to a mass pet grave. I just can't do it. Cremation means nothing to me. When it comes to death, I am an Earth person not a Fire person. I have never been enamoured of ashes. I know some people are but not me. We came out of earth, Adam was created from earth, and as far as I am concerned, so we shall return - thank you very much.
I have only a short time to decide which way to go with this. As I write, a burial on open land is being mooted. Burial at a pet cemetery is out of budget. Really difficult decision.
Mulling it over ...
