I would cremate, and if you can't bear the thought of looking at an urn, scatter them in some special place. I prefer burial, but in a place that will not be disturbed. I am extremely saddened by the new owners of our place digging up at least 6 of our buried strays that were in a little wooded area on our place to put in a garage. The only consolation I get is it was dirt that was for fill and in this way they will be reburied. I say a little prayer for them every night...... My beloved Chrissy, Burt, and Casper are all buried close together and the whole area was covered in cement. as an extension of a patio. I pray they can rest in peace. It's so hard to leave them when we move, but I will always carry their memories and love with me......
