There are many ways to memorialize pets… The annual Tomb-Sweeping Day is a day when we remember our deceased relatives every year. With the continuous development of society, the awareness of companion animals has been deeply implanted in our attitude towards life. Cats and dogs have a lifespan of at most 15 years and can only accompany a certain stage of a pet owner’s life. So we often say that they only have you in their lives, while you can have countless of them in your life. If there is a memory of TA in your life, then on this rainy day, how do you miss TA who once accompanied you and regarded you as the only relative? Let’s see what others do.
01 Various funerals. Some pet owners hold grand ceremonies to mourn their pets, so as to comfort their companionship over the years and also make it convenient to visit the cemetery to mourn when missing them and get through the sad days. Burial is the most common way to deal with corpses. After burial, a monument can be erected and some flowers can be planted. Although this grand farewell ceremony cannot alleviate much sadness, it provides a place for pet owners to place their remembrance.
Tree burial represents that pets turn into trees and continue in another way. Burying pets under trees and using pet remains as nutrients can make trees grow better. These two methods are the most widely accepted. In order to avoid environmental problems and disease transmission, it is recommended that pet owners take their pet remains for cremation first. After cremation, using pet ashes for burial and tree burial will have no impact and will not pollute the environment.
02 Felts. This way of commemorating pets is also very common. Although it should be regarded as a relatively popular trend in recent years. Collect some hairs of pets before they die, and then make a felt ornament that is the same as the deceased pet by yourself or ask someone on Taobao to do it. It can replace the company of pets once. Whenever pet owners miss the felt ornament very much, it seems that they can also feel that they have never left. However, the price of felt ornament making on Taobao seems a bit expensive. Pet owners who have time and good hands-on ability can try it by themselves. You can make several felt toys for pets to play with before they die, and it can also leave more beautiful memories. After all, the daily output of hairs is also quite large.
03 Making specimens. This kind of thing is most popular in the United States. Americans used to have the habit of making specimens of hunted prey. Now it has also developed into making specimens of their deceased pets, and there are also specialized specimen-making companies. The charge for pets under 4.5 kilograms is 850 US dollars, which is about 5800 yuan. For every pound increase in weight, the price increases by 40 US dollars.
04 Making ashes diamonds. There should be very few pet owners in China who choose to keep their pets by this method, but many people abroad do so. Of course, this production method is actually very expensive. Mainly, the carbon elements in the ashes are integrated into carbon molecular structures with the same structure as diamonds by machines. After being inlaid by workers, it becomes ashes diamonds.
People who are familiar with diamonds know that the language of diamonds is eternity. This also symbolizes that the beautiful memories left by cats to pet owners are always there and never leave. When pet owners hang the ring around their necks, it means that this memory is always in the place closest to the heart and always beats with the heartbeat of pet owners. And pet owners also have more motivation for life because of the existence of pets.
Parting is always sad. No one is born to like this emotion, but I believe that after some things leave, they will return in another way. I also hope that pet owners believe this.
Although our feline companions may not speak, love does not require words. In the days that remain, cherish each other’s company; time will show that the end of love is never a point in life.
