Since we don't own our home, I wouldn't bury an animal in the back yard, because I'd be conscious that moving would mean leaving them there. I couldn't do that. Until we own our own home, we will continue to have any animals that pass away, cremated individually, and given back to us so that we can create our own little tribute to them. We did just that last year, when we lost one of our fuzzies. He now has his own little shrine on the wall, inside a box decorated with velvet and such, that I personally sewed around him. It's finished off with a card, with his name on it. When we move, we can take him with us.
