Now let’s talk about something close to our hearts – pet cemeteries. Did you know that the Spanish city of Barcelona is set to open its first public pet cemetery next year? This is surprising news considering Barcelona’s dense population and the fact that 50% of families own a pet. Finally, pet owners in Barcelona will have a place to bury or cremate their beloved pets.
Public pet cemeteries have been around in Europe and the Americas for over a century, offering a space for pet owners to grieve and find closure. Just like the burial of people, the burial of pets is an intimate cultural practice that reflects the changing relationships society has with its cherished creatures.
Our research into the history of pet burial practices has shown us how the relationship between humans and animals has evolved over time. In the 19th century, pets were seen as important friends, with gravestones often dedicated to a “loving friend” or “devoted companion.” By the early 20th century, pets had become members of the family, with gravestones displaying family surnames and loving epitaphs from “Mummy and Daddy.”
The way we treat our animal dead reflects the close bond we have with our pets in life. And just like grieving for a human loved one, the heartbreak and taboos around grieving for animals are still prevalent today. That’s why it’s important to find an appropriate outlet to express your pain and seek support during this difficult time.
While the new pet cemetery in Barcelona may not be financially accessible to everyone, there are other ways to commemorate your pet’s life and express your grief. Keeping cremated remains at home, spreading ashes in a meaningful location, or utilizing online forums and digital pet cemeteries are all acceptable options.
At our financial services company, we understand that the bond between a pet and their owner can be just as strong and significant as relationships with other humans. That’s why we strive to provide fast and easy MCA solutions to small businesses and gig workers, including those in the pet care industry.
Whether you choose to visit a pet cemetery or not, we want to assure you that there are many acceptable ways to express your grief and remember the important animals in your life. Our team is here to support you and provide the financing you need to continue serving pet owners and their beloved companions.
