In the past, if an animal has died, the family usually have some kind of memorial service in remembrance garden for the benefit of educating children about what happens after something or someone dies. With the exception of some parrots, animals should not be with us in our lives. This type of memory animals resemble human burial rites. They teach the children that death is part of life.
In some low-lying areas, communities place their dead in crypts above ground, like the ancient Egyptians. In other areas, which for centuries the dead were buried in mass graves. The best way to dispose of a body buried in the ground. The coffins were found in raw wood form a rectangular type is created. On the one hand, the coffin was only slightly wider to accommodate the shoulders of the person. The bodies were in coffins lowered into a hole the same size and placed covered with earth. In general was far from the city a designated area for coffins. These cemeteries were called. The burial of the dead were carried out in cemeteries.
Family pet funerals are similar. For a small animal, a shoe box as a makeshift coffin be used. For larger animals, a similar sized hole was dug in the yard, and the body, often in a large plastic bag or covered with a tarp, the hole is reduced. Dirt fill the hole, the animal is dead. A monument was usually accompanied by a cross of twigs, flowers or a wreath and an element of personal pet.
In the past many people were buried without grave stone. Mass graves were to be discovered years later. Today, (named after the placement of the stone of the "head" of the body) or grave stones grave stones are used to mark the grave. Taken with names and dates, to cover the life of a family member.
Decided in the course of time, animal lovers, their pets should be honored with more than sticks and flowers. People are not the only ones worthy of grave stones. Animals also received. Today there are hundreds of monuments and a variety of pet urns. Both are printed with feelings, poems, names and dates. Many can be used for the burial itself, but some are present. Some pet memorial urns are so beautiful, you would think are valuable pieces of ancient art.
