You may be interested to know that in Australia we have environmentally friendly pet cemeteries, where primarily whole pet bodies are buried and a Memorial Tree planted on top.
The pets details and a photograph are attached to the tree GPS location and can be accessed using a mobile phone with camera or any device with internet access. Whole body burial will benefit the tree as the root system reaches the pet – the circle of life. Pet burials using this service are creating flora and fauna refuge, with each burial finding the prorogation of at least one tree.
Our next project is to fund the operations of an open plan zoo by using the green belts as cemeteries. As the zoo has been operational for nearly a century the site may be considered to be secure.
