Pet Section and Cemetery Planning

The loss of a pet can bring grief that is both profound and can be parallel to the loss of a family member. In recent years, this fact has led to the conclusion by many that the comfort, healing and tribute that cemeteries offer should be available to those experiencing the grief of losing a pet companion.

While a dedicated pet burial area functions much like a human cemetery, there are key differences involving statutory requirements and the physical variety of interment spaces. Depending on the jurisdiction, a pet section may require its own parcel, a designated subdivision within an existing cemetery, or no specific legal separation at all.
