Q: If my cat has to be put to sleep, how could I dispose of his body?

Answer: Some owners wish to have the body their cat returned to them for burial at home, although most will prefer their vet to dispose of the body for them. (Subject to local laws, any grave should be made at least three feet (1 m) deep.) Usually the vet will have an arrangement with the local authority to collected any bodies either for incineration or burial, whichever method of the disposal is available in the area. Also there are various pet cemeteries and crematoriums that can offer their services, and usually your vet will be able to give advice about the facilities which are available locally.
