Now, let’s shift gears and talk about something close to our hearts – pet cemeteries. The city of Barcelona has recently made an exciting announcement. They will be investing in the establishment of the country’s first public pet cemetery. This is a significant development for a city with limited privately owned land and where 50% of families own a pet.
It’s surprising to think that a city with 180,000 dogs didn’t already have a public pet cemetery. Until now, the service was only provided by the private sector. However, constant public demand has spurred the municipal-funded initiative.
Pet cemeteries have been around since the late 19th century, appearing in Europe and the Americas. They offer a place for pet owners to grieve and find closure. Just like human cemeteries, pet cemeteries reflect the changing relationships between humans and their cherished pets.
Our research into the history of pet burial practices has led us to discover interesting stories. For example, our study of gravestones and epitaphs from the Victorian period to today in Britain shows how the human-animal relationship has evolved. Pets transitioned from being considered important friends to being regarded as family members.
As our relationships with animals become even closer, it’s no wonder that modern pet cemeteries allow for co-burial of cremated animals and people. This reflects the changing funerary and commemoration practices for both humans and animals.
The connection between pet owners and their furry friends is just as strong and significant as their relationships with other humans. However, expressing grief for the loss of a pet can sometimes be challenging due to social stigmas. We want to assure pet owners that they should not feel shame for their grief. There are organizations, such as the RSPCA, the Blue Cross, and the Rainbow Bridge Pet Loss Grief Center, that offer support and counseling to bereaved humans.
While Barcelona’s new public pet cemetery is an exciting development, we understand that not everyone will financially be able to take advantage of the opportunity to grieve in this dedicated space. Pet owners may choose to keep cremated remains at home or find other meaningful ways to commemorate their beloved pets. Online forums and digital pet cemeteries also offer alternative ways to express grief and remember the special bond between humans and their animal companions.
Whether you choose a pet cemetery or not, there are numerous acceptable ways to honor and remember the important animals in your life. Our company is here to provide fast and easy MCA solutions to small businesses, while also recognizing the significance of the human-animal bond.
