We all love our pets, most of the time. When they die it can be very very tough. How much would you spend to keep a sick pet alive? $0, $500, $5,000, $20,000, etc. When a pet is older and sick is it the vet's responsibility to counsel you to not spend a lot of money trying to keep your pet alive? Apparently often a great deal of money can be spent and then the pet dies anyway. Sometimes you may be able to spend thousands and often not. Some of us will try almost anything to keep a pet alive. It's personal. A pet can be a family member like a child.
When death occurs there are pet cemeteries where you can bury your pet. A plot will cost about $500 to $1200 depending on the size of the pet. You will need to buy a coffin. Most are polyethylene. They will cost from $200-$700 at a cemetery depending on size. You can buy them for not much money online but the cemetery may give you a hard time. That can be overcome. Usually memorialization is optional. A memorial at the cemetery will cost you anywhere from $700 and up into the thousands depending on size, etc. You can buy them for much lower prices online.
Typically if you would like to cremate your pet the vet can handle that for you. Not all vets have a crematorium. Those that do can actually do an individual cremation for you. Many pet crematoriums handle group cremations of pets. Some people like to keep their cremated pet(s) somewhere in their home. Some don't want to ever see their pets in any form after death.
And some people like to bury their pets in their yards. A lot of towns, cities, etc. do not allow this.
