When a pet dies, do you bury it or cremate it?

I cremated both of my bunnies and am glad I did do.
Their ashes stay in my bedroom and I can talk to them whenever I like.

We had my cat cremated. And the animal crematorium gave back her ashes in this really pretty box with a gorgeous name tag and pressed lavender on the top.
I thought that was better than burying her.

When our dog died, my mom was set on having her cremated. She was just too special to us to do anything else.

We buried our hamsters, but had our cat cremated. I'm pretty sure we'll do the same with the rest. I wanted to bury them in a pet cemetery, but my mom says it's too expensive. But I'd rather have them cremated, I think, because then they can be with me still. Instead of having to drive to visit their grave.

The majority of our pets have been buried, it was the quick and easy option, they all have there wee sections about the garden, but our last rabbit was cremated, just because of the time that she died.

We just bury our pets that have died.

I find the whole cremating process and keeping of the ashes a bit creepy.

I think it's kind of creepy, too. But we buried one of my pets at my old house. So when we moved we had to leave her behind. It made me so upset, so now we cremate our pets. We might bury some in a pet cemetery though, I'm not sure.

Well, I bury my deceased pets.
Because I get really attached to them, and still want somewhere to talk to them...Shifty

I've burried two hamsters in my garden...when our dog dies, I'm not really sure what we're going to do then. I mean I would like to have him cremated and then spread out on the moors where he loves the most but then again, I would like to have him burried somewhere in the garden so he's easy to go and see and talk to....

I've buried all of my pets.
But the most recent pet to die (my cat) we had it group cremated at the vet after it was put to sleep.

I got my 18 year-old Shi Tzu cremated.

I still talk to her and I celebrated her birthday this year with her. I still love her a ton, and at times I feel like she's still here :) <3

I'd rather have my dog cremated than burried.
I don't like the thought of her body rotting away and being eaten by maggots. Cry

I had my dog creamated... Now he sits on the fireplace so I can see him when ever I want...(well kinda) I loved him so much! =/

My dad wanted to get him stuffed but I told him that would be way to weird....

My pets were never cremated or buried...my mom took them and threw them into a garbage bag letting the garbage truck take it away Sad
But if we did bury or cremate...it'll definitely be burying...it's free and closer to the home that they know....

Mine are buried at the bottom of the garden in this little shady square, it's really nice there. I made little gravestones for all of them, but you can't really see them anymore. I'm not sure which pet is where in all honesty. But it doesn't really matter because, when I feel like it, I just go and tell them all I hope they're having a nice time in pet heaven and that I miss them.

Only pet that I ever really lost through death, was a guinea pig and we buried her in the backyard near the garden and firepit, in a shoebox filled with the woodchips we used to bed her cage with, and we threw in a couple of colored woodblocks she'd chew on for fun. My mom refused to have her cremated, since the idea of things being burned disturbs her.

I would want my pets burried, I think. I have two dogs.
I don't want them to die, though. So I'm not gonna think bout it anymore..
