I need your help. My cat died.
in Pets
He was hit by a car after he darted out of our house last night. My friend is taking him to the vet to be cremated for me. I am getting the ashes back. If you had your animal cremated, did you put them in a box or urn or something special? Or what did you do? I'm so lost. He was the best cat. He was my best friend. He was there through everything with me and I just want to curl up in a ball and i don't know. I can't stop crying. I hurt so much.
Re: I need your help. My cat died.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
For my cat, I buried him in my back garden and ordered a little stone with an engraving. It's nice to look out my window and think of him, even though I still miss him so much.
i am so, so sorry for your loss.
we've decided that when we lose our cats, we will take their ashes and spread them in a "happy kitty" place, like the field near my mom's house that is always full of mice.

We didn't claim the ashes of our cat, but I considered it - I saw some cute pet urns on Etsy. If you just search for pet urn, you can find some really pretty shapes and designs.

So sorry for your loss!
When my parents dog died they had him cremated. They put the plastic bag with his ashes in the cookie jar where they used to keep his dog treats. The jar is kept in the family room on a small table next to his favorite sofa.
I know when Sassy passes, I will have her cremated, put her in a pretty box/urn and place it near a framed photo of her.
I know your pain and it sucks.
I am also waiting for napoelons ashes to come back. I decided not to make any decisions on it.
You also do not have to decide right now. Just because you have the ashes does not mean you have to spread them right away. Or decide on a place to spread them. I plan on just letting Napoelons ashes sit in the living room on a shelf. Im no hurry to decide when or where, or maybe if I ever will spread them.
Just take your time to grieve. Lots of love

I am so sorry for your loss.
When Mopar died, we had her cremated and her ashes came back in a beautiful wooden box that was carved on the top with a poem on the back. She is on the mantle, with her collar around the box.
