Pets accompany their owners with their cuteness and warmth throughout their lives. If one day, pets have to leave us for some reasons. In addition to holding a decent funeral ceremony and cremating the body, should the pet’s ashes be scattered or placed at home? How to handle pet ashes more safely? This is a question that needs to be considered. And every pet owner has their own ideas. I hope the following several methods of handling ashes can help you.
01. Select a place for burial (not suitable for first- and second-tier cities). After a pet passes away, the owner hopes that the pet has a good resting place. Generally, in rural areas or remote small places, you can choose to bury the pet’s body in your own field, backyard or forest. This method is not suitable for pets with infectious diseases. Burial may cause the spread of diseases. At present, this behavior has been banned in first- and second-tier cities.
02. Place at home. After a pet passes away and the pet’s body is cremated, some pet owners are reluctant to part with their pets and place the pet’s ashes at home to remember the pet. In fact, placing pet ashes at home will not only affect the health of family members but also affect the feng shui and fortune of the home. So this method of placing pet ashes at home is also not advisable.
03. Sea burial. Every pet that comes to this world is like a little angel accompanying us and experiencing joys and sorrows with us. The currently popular sea burial method also allows these little angels from nature to return to nature and return to their true selves.
04. Tree burial. Today’s tree burial is different from the traditional tree burial. The new-era pet ashes tree burial is to scatter the ashes into the soil and then plant a small sapling or directly scatter them at the root of a tree to serve as fertilizer for the tree and provide nourishment for the tree. This means that the life of one’s beloved pet is continued in another way and is of great significance.
05. Make ashes into souvenirs. Pet ashes can also be made into small accessories that can be carried with you or stored in an appropriate place. The entire production process can be fully participated in by the pet owner and made by hand, which is very commemorative.
06. Store pet ashes in temples. Pet owners who have the conditions are advised to use temple burial for pet ashes. Temples are places for eliminating disasters and praying for blessings, curing diseases and avoiding harm, and transcending the deceased. Placing pet ashes in temples not only allows pets to be blessed by the Dharma assemblies of eminent monks but also helps pets accumulate merits and blessings, stay away from evil realms, and be reborn well in the next life. Pets can be baptized by the Dharma and will also be extremely happy. In this way, the souls of pets will also bless pet moms to be happy and safe.
