Would You Have a Deceased Pet Stuffed?

i plan on having all three of mine cremated when they are ready to leave this place and have their ashes put in urns and then in my will i will have each urn put into my casket with me and buried in the cematary next to my husband and his dogs lol.

I would say no. It would be too hard. Plus I would probably always be afraid it would come back alive but be evil.

i like the idea of saving the cremated remains to be buried with me

just dont know if whomever is left will remember to do it tho

No matter what anyone says, a lawyer is a lady's best friend.

Maybe somewhere nice and warm (and dry) might be better? I'd ask him first.

ashes don't feel hot and cold i just went and told him i had something very serious to talk to him about tho. i put him up on my lap, and i asked him, "Wonton, when you pass, do you want me to put your ashes somewhere warm?"
he looked at me intently, with his greenish-yellow eyes. then i said "Do you want me to sprinkle them in the ocean?" and he flicked his right ear towards me, and settled down in my arms. i am taking that as a yes

Just to hijack the thread a little, when our eldest Granddaughter was about six, she said that when I died she was going to have me stuffed and have my house as a Grandma museum

I am reminded that Roy Rogers joked about being stuffed and mounted and set on his horse Trigger.

No, like everyone else has said...it would be too freaky. It would remind me of Pet Cemetary....and that was a scary movie!

We buried Lemur in our back yard and we have a marker there.


I even hate it when the hunters stuff their "kill" and hang them on the wall...that is freaky and inhumane.

Ummm... no. I have all my pets cremated. I have 5 beautiful handmade boxes on one of the entertainment centers - 5 guinea pigs. Then there's a much larger handmade box on a bookshelf... 1 rottie. No one knows what they are but us, and they're really pretty boxes.

No I would not.

No, too weird......

I DO have fur from my dog that passed last year in a small baggie but I don't take it out and pet it or anything. Mom brushed him right before his last trip to the vet's.

i kept my cat Sara's white color which has a felt inner lining with her fur still on it (after 11 yrs!)

and i kept Snoopy's harness and leash

not sure what i will do when Mickie goes, she is 19 so i guess she would be next

i do not have any one THING that she is attached to, expect me- she is very very fond of me LOL

hey, thats it, i will get someone to take a picture of us together, thats something i dont have
as i am usually the one behind the camera

No. I had to have my GSD put to sleep recently.. and it would have made me sick to have her still in the house, unmoving.. lifeless...

I do have a baggie thing with some of her hair in it... I keep in it a drawer.. I hate to look at it, it makes it seem too real...


I miss her so much

No, that's way to weird! I wouldn't want "fluffy" staring at me every morning when i wake up- lol i would just adopt another animal in need if mine passed away and give the deceased furbaby a nice burial.

Stuffed animals look bad.

The hair falls out over time and without the natural oil secreted by the follicles the carcass soon become dull and brittle.

No, I think of death as "at peace" and I just can't imagine a dead animal being at peace while stuffed. He spends the rest of his, well, time as a stuffed ornament doing nothing but posing, and I just feel that'd be somewhat tiring, in my weird little way of thinking. I was thinking that when Jake died, I'd sprinkle a little bit of his ashes in the park where he likes to play, but he won't (hopefully) die for another 5 years, so who knows if we'll even be going to that park by then. And with Buffy, she loves the outdoors so much that I was thinking of sprinkling her ashes in a trail from our house to the next few houses alongside us, but she'll be alive for another 15 years and I'm eventually going to move out on my own and be able to MAKE SURE the little queen doesn't sneak out, so in 15 years, will she even care about the outdoors?

I'm liking the idea of simply having them put in nice little boxes and maybe having them buried with me when I die. The thing is, when I die, will there be too many boxes to fit in the coffin with me? Maybe they can dump the ashes out and cover my body with them?

I think it would mess me up more than anything. I'd have a harder time getting over their death.

I know my family members wouldn't be too thrilled, either.

So my vote is no.
