While it's important to many to give their pet a final resting place, burying an animal is not legal everywhere. Prior to burying your cat, check local regulations. You can call someone at your local courthouse or Department of Natural Resources to see whether it's legal to bury a pet in your backyard. Usually, you cannot bury a cat in public place like a park.  Refrain from burying a cat near a body of water. This could contaminate the water supply. You should also make sure you're not digging into any cables in the ground. Choose an area of your yard that's far away from home. If you encounter any cables while digging your hole, stop digging, refill the hole, and pick a different spot. If you're renting, make sure to check with your landlord. Not all landlords will allow people to bury pets in the backyard. Once you have made sure burying your cat is legal, select a burial site, such as a spot in your yard.  You may want to pick a special or symbolic place to bury your cat. If your cat always hung out near the wildflowers in your yard, for example, this may be a good spot to bury it. If your cat loved to play in the woods, you could bury your cat there. However, think about logistics when deciding to bury your cat. You do not want the grave somewhere in the yard where it will frequently be stepped on or disturbed. Choose an area of your yard where you don't usually go. If you have young children, pick a spot where they do not play. You want some kind of vessel to place your cat in prior to burial. This is particularly important if your state or area has certain regulations regarding burying pets. You may be required to use a particular type of container due to concerns about contaminating the ground.  You can purchase a coffin for a pet online. If it's important to you to have a formal coffin, this may be the right option for you. However, coffins can be expensive. You can also bury your cat in something like a cardboard box. If your cat had a bed it loved, consider burying your cat in its bed. If you don't need to use a container, you can always just wrap your cat in a towel prior to burial. There are many things you could use to mark your pet's grave. You can purchase a marker for your pet online, which you can custom create to include your pet's name and other details, such as the date of birth and death. However, if this is out of your budget, there are other options.  You can gather stones and rocks from your backyard and pile them near the grave. If it's important for you to have your cat's name on the grave marker, you can use paint to write the cat's name on a larger rock. If your cat loved a particular type of plant, consider placing a plant over your cat's grave. You can also put down something bigger, like a tree.
Check whether burying your cat is legal and safe. Choose a burial site. Select a coffin or container. Settle on a grave marker.
