If I privately bury my pet, do I have to buy a headstone?

If I privately bury my pet, do I have to buy a headstone?

No, you don’t have to but we encourage you to do so – an unmarked grave is a lonely sight.  Willowrock offers a wrought iron cross for sale and we can advise you on other avenues to follow for grave markers.  We do charge an extra $25 on burials so that if you have not provided a marker by the one year anniversary of your pet’s burial, we will use that money to have a small plaque engraved with your pet;s name to be placed on the grave.  If you supply a marker, that $25 is refunded.
