What did you do with the dead pets?

In my area, people have become fatalistic, what with the frequent road accidents and most homes having a deceased member. The same mindset applies to pets. In my case, it is quite a sad and wistful affair. I know it is a good thing to give a pet a decent send off but I wouldn't go to the extent of constructing a cemetery. We usually look for a place in the garden and dig a deep hole and them pay our last respects. Pets are forever etched in my memories.
