The last time a dog of mine died, we buried him in the back yard. We dug his grave and said our good byes. I know that others spend on pet burials but in our country, this isn't what normally happens. Sometimes, people will just pay the vet to get rid of the body. When ours died at the vets, we were surprised that they had told us they already placed him in a carton box. They had asked whether we were to pick him up or pay for him to be disposed of (that was a day after they told us that his prognosis was positive).
