Hi,
I've been in the position of having to relocate five ferret graves from a
friend's property to my own. The friend remarried and the grave markers
bothered her husband who wanted to remove them. So, I just dug them up
and reburied them on my own property which I acquired afterwards. It was
not a pleasant task, but I was determined to get all five of my guys out
of there. Just for your information, the ones I buried in plastic
containers and superglued the lids did well. (Some of you may want to
skip the next part although it is not gross.)
I accidentally punctured one lid when digging and I had to transport the
ferret into a new container. He had been deceased four years and actually
still looked like the day I buried him. No, I did not touch him, just
lifted him out by the sleep sack he was in. So, when my precious Chance
passed away this year, I buried him in two containers, one inside the
other. I glued the lids shut with plumber's glue. Their graves are
decorated with resin animals and artificial flowers and each has their
own marker. Although I hated disturbing their resting place, it was well
worth it. I mention this because someone posted about relocating graves.
