buying a home with a pet grave
We close on our first house in 2 weeks and when we did our initial tour of the home I noticed in the back corner of the back yard (so the end of the half acre) a wooden cross. I assume it?s a pet (at least I hope it's just a pet).The marker is old so I assume that the owner will not be removing it.
DH and I are both animal lovers (we have 2 indoor cats), and don't want to disrespect anybody or the pet but I also don't want to be looking at a grave marker while enjoying our yard with our son.
What is the proper etiquette for this type of situation?
I say that we should say a few nice words and get rid of the marker (we would NEVER dig anything up!).

Once you sign on the dotted line, everything is yours. I would double check that it's Fido not uncle Frank buried back there. But marking it with a rock or something is a good idea, so it stays buried.

I think this is good idea. You are right, it is a little awkward...
Thanks all!
The cross is way in the back by the forest line, so it's not something that will need to happen the day we move in. I love the idea of a perennial or stone.
Thanks again!
