Pet Cemetery: Make a Pet Cemetery in Your Backyard
Without a doubt, the first thought that many people have is to bury their pet in their own yard. While this can be done, there are potential problems that you should be aware of. Many cities have ordinances that prohibit having a pet cemetery, or prohibit burying your pet in your yard. Renters should check with their landlords before making a pet cemetery in the yard, too.
If you decide to have a pet cemetery in your yard, this must be disclosed to potential buyers if you ever choose to sell your home. Future homeowners have the right to ask that you remove your pets’ remains before purchasing your home. Once you sell your home, you give up any rights to visit your pets’ gravesite.
If you still choose to make a pet cemetery in your yard, choose an area like a corner that will not be disturbed. Clear out flowers, bushes or growth that is presently in the area. Consider using bricks as a border treatment to differentiate your pet cemetery from the remainder of the yard.
You can use rocks, large stones and flowers to decorate the pet cemetery and let your pet rest in peace, close to the family that it loved.
