Some tips on choosing the most suitable coffin for your pet

Pets add color to our life and become a part of the family. However, like every

mortal being your pet too will die, as most of them have a short life. So you

should prepare yourself for the death of your favorite and cute lap dog or the

ferocious bulldog as its age reaches around 9, 10 or 11 years. If you have

decided to give a burial to your pet after its death then you should order a pet

coffin earlier. However, bizarre it may sound this will surely help you to control

your emotions and also to minimize the cost and hassle of burying the pet. But

you must measure the length of your pet dog or other animal and order a pet

coffin of slightly larger size.

Factory made versus handmade

If you can afford then a factory made one is the best. It is available in a variety

of colors, features, protection level and comfort. These can be customized

according to your preferences. However, these are costly ones, especially if you

order them just one or two days in advance. Otherwise, you can go for a

handmade one. This will surely reflect more love and affection, but you will

have limited choice in terms of color, comfort and protection.

Biodegradable versus non biodegradable

If you want the casket as well as the mortal remains of your pet to assimilate

with the soil over time then you should go for a wooden casket, customized or

handmade. However, if you want the mortal remains to remain intact for a long

time to come then you should go for plastic pet coffins for sale with good

protection against moisture and seepage of water with the help of rubber

gaskets. Such coffins are made of polystyrene, a type of waterproof material,

which offers very good protection against moisture.

Before taking the body to the cemetery you must make sure that the city

permits its citizens to bury their pets within city limits. While digging the grave,

in the backyard or the pet cemetery, you must make it sufficiently deep. The

grave should be at least 3 feet deep. If you want to protect the mortal remains

then wrap the pet in a plastic sheet and place it within the coffin. This will

prevent incursion of moisture even if some of it is able to get into the coffin.

There are standard pet coffins for sale with bedding and upholstery, deluxe

coffins with bedding, crowned burial vault, farewell kit etc.

Having pets is wonderful, since they add a different dimension of enjoyment

and companionship to people. However, every pet owner must also be ready for

its death since most pets are short lived souls. Keep abreast with pet supplies,

in life as well as in death. May the soul of your chirpy and playful pet rest in

peace.
