What To Do When You’ve Buried Your Pet but You’re Moving Your House

Few things in life are more devastating than the loss of a pet. You are heartbroken and need all the support you can get to get through this emotional trauma. Pet burials can go a long way in helping you move on and provide some sort of closure to you. They give you a place where you can go to mourn your pet whenever you miss it. If the burial spot is in your home or near it then you can visit it often. But, what happens if you are moving away from your house? Do you move the pet’s body too? Is it a good idea? How to go about doing it? Let’s find out.


Examining the Remains of the Pet

If the pet was buried a long time ago, there is little chance that there are any remains of the pet left. This usually the case for smaller pets like hamsters and rabbits. However, if you had buried your pet dog or cat, there is a chance that some of the remains of your pet are still there. If you plan on moving the pet’s body with you then it is important to examine if the remains are worth moving or not.

Digging up the Pet’s Dead Body

Digging up the body of the pet or exhumation can be a very unpleasant task. If you find it too difficult to do then it is best to call in a pet exhumation service. There are companies that offer you the chance to have the bodies of your pet exhumed without you having to do anything. However, there is a catch. These service providers cremate the body of the pet after digging it up from its grave. So, you will get the remains of the pet in the form of ashes rather than its dead body. So, if you are fine with keeping the ashes of the pet then you shouldn’t hesitate in giving these companies a call.

Transporting the Pet’s Remains

If the remains of the pet are in the form of its ashes then transporting them wouldn’t be much of a concern. You can keep the ashes in a commemorative urn and take it with you to your new home. However, if you choose not to cremate the pet then transporting the pet’s body might be a little tricky. No cargo service is going to offer you this option. So, you will have to do this task yourself. Depending on the condition of the dead body, it is best to keep it in a sealed container so that the smell won’t go out. A Styrofoam cooler can be used for this purpose. But, do keep in mind that you will have to transport the pet’s remains in your car and not by a moving service.
