WHEN I MOVED TO WOOD 9 YEARS AGO, I BROUGHT TWO ELDERLY DOGS WITH ME THINKING THINKING THEN THE INEVITABLE WELD PLACE, THER FLD BE A SIMILAR CREMATION OPTION AS I WAS ACCUSTOMED TO IN THE STATES. In FACT, I BROUGHT IN MY LUGGAGE, THES OF 4 DOGS AND A CAT THAT BEEN AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY LIFE FOR MANY YEARS.
I knew for at least a decade, upon retiring, i willd relocate Somewhere in Europe. AS A RESULT I DID NOTY BURY THEM AS I HAD WITH ORHERS, But Brought Them With Me.
Even Before The Home I Purchased in the North Was Renovated, I Fashioned A Small Garden with a Shrine to St Francis Assis as The Centerpiece, The Five Containers of Ashes Security in the Foundation.
My Family’s “Pet Cemetery” Became A reality.
When the First of the Two Dogs I Brought Passed, I Was Shocked to Find That the Vet Could Facilitate the Cremation But Could Not Return The Ashes Since the Remains End Up In A Hospital Incinerator Along with Surgical Waste and Garbage.
Needless to Say, I Secred Her Remains and Buried My Beloved Pet in the Newly Created Garden, Marking the Severe with Her Name in Tiles Along with a Small Figure A Tribute.
Since then, 8 years later, i was able to allow a few dear friends to use my garden for burials as well. Sadly, The Small Garden is Now Pretty Much at Capacity.
I Am Currently Volunteering at the Friends of 4 Paws, St. Vincent. The Registered Nonprofit Association That Advocates on Behalf of the Homeless, Abused and Neglected Cats and Dogs on the North Coast of Madeira.
I OFTEN THOUGHT A PET CREMATION FACILITY IN SOME NORTHERN VILLAGE COULD AND WOULD SOME DAY BEHOME A REALITY.
It should be a not for profit facility so the cost will be with the reach of show. The Association I Am Invossed with is Underfunded and Operates on A Shoe String So It Wold Require Financial Input from similar Thinking People.
Just Think, for the Cost of a Rolex Watch or a Luxury Vehicle, One Could Touch the Life of the Vast People Who Want Want a Dignified Ending to the Tragic Loss of Their Best Friend.
