I think that a pet cemetery is a great idea. We just lost our 11 year old Boston Terrier and his death has been hard on as, epecially our 7 year old Son. This is the first death that he has had to encounter in his short little life. We actually live in Oregon and we don't have a pet cemetery to have buried our dog nearby, so we did have him cremated.The loss of a pet can be very tragic and very hard on a family and I think that having a place for people to know where their pet can be buried will be very healing and helpful in their loss. Great story thanks!

Wish there were more pet cemeteries, or that every human cemetery had a space allotted for beloved pets. Maybe not far off in the future?

My dogs have always been part of my family. I am so glad that this option is available.

The new pet cemetery in Cottonwood Heights will offer a spot for service dogs to be buried. Utah has two other pet cemeteries.  (Tim Hussin, Deseret News)
