Laura, I am so sorry for your loss. I have never been a fan of burial, until I lost two of my ferrets. I found it immensely healing to bury them in my sunny rose garden with their favorite toys and a vial of ferrotone, then placed an appropriate memorial over each grave. I still, when working out there, place a few blossoms on each grave and tell them how I love and miss them. I don't know why, but somehow, it helped me. cb [Posted in FML issue 3423]
