Our precious pets are part of the family we spend time with.
Our precious lives are limited, and one day we will have to cross the Rainbow Bridge and depart.
When the cremation is complete and your beloved child's ashes are returned to you.
How to commemorate your pet's ashes varies from owner to owner.
There are no specific rules for how to care for a pet.
When I was a child, I remember many families burying their pets in their own gardens, but in recent years it seems to be more common to have pets cremated first at a pet funeral home or pet cemetery.
The remains can be placed in a charnel house or grave, taken home and kept at home, or
- Tree burials using plants as grave markers - Marine scattering of powdered remains into the sea, etc.
There are many different options available today, but I think the most important thing is for pet owners to choose the method that feels most comfortable for them.
I would like to propose a new form of personal memorial service, which could be called a "stuffed animal funeral."
This involves creating a stuffed animal that looks just like your deceased pet and storing the ashes inside it.
With FLUFFY, you can add a small hidden pocket to the stomach of your stuffed animal.
It is small and not large enough to fit an entire urn into the pocket, but it is a zippered pocket that can hold part of the bones in a capsule or other case.
Even if you don't have a Buddhist altar, it is recommended to place a stuffed animal containing your pet's ashes on the sofa or bed where your pet usually sat, as this is a natural way to hold a memorial service at home.
Some people like to place their pet's favorite blanket or toy next to it.
It takes time for anyone to come to terms with losing a beloved pet.
I know all too well the pain you feel when you see an empty place.
The idea is that "your pet's other self," whose ashes are tucked inside her belly, will always watch over her gently at home, and that she can pet and hold her whenever she feels sad.
I believe that this in itself will be a source of warm healing for those living today, and will be a memorial that will bring comfort to our child in heaven.
Why not consider a stuffed animal funeral as a new type of memorial service option that gently supports the whole family?
