Pet Cemetery, Hyde Park, London

Pets and other animals to which people are emotionally attached are often ceremonially buried. Most families bury deceased pets on their own properties, typically in the yard. Pet cemeteries offer single and multiple plots options. A specially designed pet casket or vault may be used. In cremation, the remains can be saved in an urn, buried, or scattered. In a memorial cremation, several pets are cremated together. The resulting cremated remains are then scattered on the cemetery grounds. In most cases pet cemeteries will have a chapel, and there will be facilities to hold either a non-denominational Christian or, alternatively, a non-religious ceremony.
In January 2010, West Lindsey District Council gave permission for a site in the village of Stainton by Langworth where animal remains can be interred alongside human remains as part of a "green burial" site, making it the first place in England where pets could be buried alongside their owners.
American art collector Peggy Guggenheim is buried alongside the grave of her dogs on the grounds of her home, the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni (Now the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, an art museum on the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy).
