Being a dog dad, one of the things that I insist on is having all of the ashes of our dogs with ours after we pass. Now a cemetery in Germany has realized how important that is to so many pet parents. I found this article on June 16 and thought I would share it, in hopes that other cemeteries in the U.S. and around the world will begin to offer the same service. - Rob
Eternity With Your Dog Or Cat? Human-Pet Cemeteries Open In Germany
BRAUBACH — Pets bring happiness to the lives of their owners. Now, a German Cemetery Association (Deutsche Friedhofsgesellschaft) allows the bond to continue for eternity, offering clients the opportunity to be buried alongside their dogs and cats.
Two German cemeteries, in the towns of Braubach and Essen, inaugurated the policy this week that allows humans and pets to be buried together in the same grave, reports the Berliner Morgenpost daily.
Judith Könsgen, who heads the cemetery association, says there were several legal obstacles to overcome before obtaining the authorization. Unser Hafen’s website, for example, indicates that the deceased people and animals must always be cremated separately.
Otherwise, it seems safe to say, the afterlife has never been so cute.
