Pet Burials Increase with Respect

Here at Respect we are finding that Pet Burials are increasing.  Families are wishing to lay their beloved Pets to rest in a natural environment where the whole family attends from Grandma & Grandad to the children and everyone is encouraged to get involved either by saying a little prayer or poem to leaving the Pet’s favourite toy / blanket and even little treats.

I think throughout everyone’s life we have a Pet within the family – someone quoted to me recently that “a dog is like a three year old in a fur coat” and I got it!  It’s true!!!  Our pets love us unconditionally and it is heartbreaking when we lose them but it also reassuring to know that they are being laid to rest where nature will prevail.
