Being a funeral director and just having lost my dog of 12 years two weeks ago; I can tell you, pets are just like family. We get calls all the time at the funeral home from people crying and asking about pet funerals. It might not be so for some people, but for some people pets are very important.

Mark u r wrong, pets when they die they can still have respect, its wrong and rude to just throw them to bags or just dump it sumwhere, imagine u had a great companion a true friend that r always there for u, wat if that beloved pet was murderd,stolen and killed on the same time?? how would u feel?? its like a person… animals r kinda like persons, they work and play, listen to ur prob. I LOVE PETS… and i always will no matta wat, and its true wen a pet died its sad and painful but “THERE GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN”….

Just occupational hazzard. I was in charge of a sexual offender treatment program for almost 5 years. (You don’t want to know!) We had to “become familiar with” various laws around the country to be able to influence law in NH.

Jamie you are a little too into laws about “activities” with living and/or dead animals.

Mark-
I’m pretty sure if you look around you can find some laws in select “southern states” that will restrict activities with dead or live animals.

Although sometimes I think people make up stupid laws to see if you can make someone violate them just to say they did.

Take this from a local Kentucky ordinance prohibiting your animal from … ” (1) Molesting pedestrians or passing vehicles;” It further defines you can not be fined more than $100 in a 24 hour period for the same offense. Is $100 a day too much to ask for a happy dog? Pedestrians, ok… Passing vehicles?! Really?

Then again the State of Georgia prohibits Keeping Donkeys in bathtubs. Got to tell you, with the popularity of Shrek and the vague terminology of this law, I would be removing certain “donkey” toys from my kid’s bath time supply kit just to be safe.

And if you need one or two true dead animal references… Sec. 54-5. Hauling on Kansas Avenue restricted. No stable manure, offal, house refuse, garbage, night soil or dead animals shall be hauled along Kansas Avenue except over the Kansas Avenue Memorial Bridge. (Code 1981, § 20-202)
Kansas even goes as far as to define punitive damages you must pay an animal owner if you perform certain “acts” on their beloved dead “Muff Muff.”

230 word reply, how’s that Chris?

in latinamerica the problem of homeless animals is so tremendous that having a place to make a funeral for them would be great. My point is to have a cementery to burry the animals or putting the homeless animals into an oven instead of the garbage container. Maybe you guys don’t know the reality in this side of the world, but here animals use to die in the streets and people don’t have where to burry them. So the only options are to use your backyard (if there is one), throw it to the garbage (with all the flies and smell problem) or just travel out of the city with a shovel and burry it there. The last option is very uncommon, since most of the people take the first option with their own pets and the second for homeless animals.

Very true Mark but the one good thing about pet funerals is that there will be female mourners ripe for hooking up with due to their vulnerability.
