Why do you have to pay extra to ensure you get your dog back after cremation? Do they cremate a few in one go and then just divvy up the ashes?

Yes they do.

Ok.

I am going to let them bury the dog as hopefully this will seal the deal. I have called the local garden centre and they will come and collect the Koi - well someone will come after they are shut at 8pm so I will have to put them in the bath until then as I have told the buyer they can come by at 7pm. The buyer was ever so grateful and I feel like I have done something helpful today. I told them about the concrete under the pond and they are bringing over a hammer and chisel.

Quite a day. I wish it was the postman at the door.

I used to work in a vets once and they had a big chest freezer full of dead bodies. Every so often somebody would pick them up and yes they all got burnt together unless you paid extra.

I guess that removes the personal from it, especially if you have an urn, it may as well say 'fluffy the bunny' 'snowball the cat' 'terence the budgie' 'george the guinea pig', but mostly 'gerald the great dane', which is a lot of engraving :rotfl:

Some years ago a vet in Cumbria had a Dead Dog Box in the yard for him and anyone else to use, council used to empty it every couple of days :rotfl:

I have to say you've made a lot of effort for them :T:T

And you've made lots of us either giggle at work or spit tea all over laptops :rotfl::rotfl:

Well in a previous thread, the OP had asked if it was okay to live in a sellers vacant property for a week to test drive the property before committing to its purchase....

So what are they putting on top of the dog?
