What did you do with the dead pets?

I've had pet dogs since I was a little girl and thankfully my parents have a couple of acres outside the city. We've buried several of our pets there and most recently my dachshund murphy. It never occured to me that some people do things differently like cremation until recently. I saw a documentary where people mix the ashes with paint and incorporate it in a painting or in a sculpture then place the work of art in their house or garden.
