Cemetery Allows Owners To Be Buried With Pets
AKRON, Ohio -- For many people, their pets are their lives. Now, when some owners depart from this life they can be laid to rest with their pet.
Cleveland television station WEWS reported that a historic Akron cemetery is allowing pet owners and their animal friends to be buried together.
The Glendale Cemetery in Akron will allow pet owners to cremate their pets to be buried in their lots.
Missy Jordan is like a mortician for animals. She sells pet urns. She said that, at Hummel Funeral Homes, they cremate about 200 animals a month.
"We have done some lizards in the past, rabbits, things like that," Jordan said.
Whether your pet has feathers, scales or fur, or if it slithers or climbs, Jordan has prepared pets for funerals -- even rats.
"I'm not a rodent fan, but a lot of people love them and have them as pets, and they cremate them and keep them with them forever," Jordan said.
If an owner is interested in having a spot for their pet at Glendale Cemetery, the cost is $350. The pet can have a flat marker, and there are thousands of plots available.
