I'm happy to see your thinking ahead like this. It's such a comfort knowing your babies will be taken care of in your passing, or while your alive. |
Our vet only charges $100 more to have them cremated separately as opposed to a communal cremation. I think it was $140 or $40 -- something like that, maybe not exact.
That was very thoughtful of your friends to provide a nice casket. Something you would have found very difficult to order ahead of time. Nice that they did it for you. You all have made me start thinking about who will take care of mine should I go before them. Guess I better talk to my kids.
