Last year our friend of 7 years died and we were grief stricken, as anyone
else would be I imagine, and we wanted to have Sid buried so we could visit
and pay our respects.
Since we live in an apartment, a backyard burial was obviously out of the
question. Our vet suggested a local pet cemetary which turned out to be
less than 5 miles from us. I never even knew it was there.
It wasn't cheap. To the best of my recollection, it cost us around $500+ which
included a headstone with a metal engraving of a picture of Sid. This
did not include a yearly maintenance fee of $25 or we could have opted for a
one-time perpetual maintenance payment of $300.
A less expensive option is cremation but we didn't want to do that. I'm not
sorry that we spent the money. Sid meant a lot to us and I couldn't put a
monetary value on that. And, it sure is nice to be able to take fresh flowers
and visit.
