I have to agree. Look after the living.
Dogs are two-a-penny here. Can't even give them away. The locals think they have no souls. If a dog dies, it just gets thrown into the communal rubbish bin or over the nearest cliff. No sentiment.
But you live in an uncaring country, in the UK people have a soul.
How sad, I would hope the UK is more caring and people wouldn't simply put the deceased in a bin bag and put out with the rubbish to end up on the tip.
I know when my girlfriend's parents had their dogs cremated, that was about £200 - they were Dobermans. That did include getting the ashes back, I think it was a lot less for a vet's disposal, but presume by that meant they would be incinerated with other clinical waste in those yellow bags, unless animals do have to be cremated seperately

I think it just means you don't get the ashes back and they are cremated together rather than individually. That's how our vet explained it.
I paid £35 for my wee dog to go to sleep and suitable disposal by vet. There are now strict guidelines around the disposal of pets by vets, so I was assured that it was all ok.

I wasn't aware of that, we've only had a couple of cats over the years but always had the ashes back.
If i was paying for Fido's ashes I would expect the ashes returned to be Fido's. Even if I didn't, I do think it seems a bit undignified having a group cremation, thinking of Fido and however many others going up together in one big cremation, suppose it is a matter of practicalities - I would hope though that at least the ashes are still scattered somewhere
The dog is very ill and instead of it being buried in the garden, as it's a big dog and the house is not his. As wrong as it stands, would it cost a lot to euthanise him as he is not eating and not very active.
He lives in Dudley, West Midlands.
Do you have a forest or wood near you? Its not strictly legal but you could bury the dog under a tree somewhere on public land providing its deep enough and far enough from a water course! At least your friend would have a permanent place to visit!
Where I grew up, we had a large expanse of wasteland and loads of people used to bury their pets on it, some even erected small home made stone memorials

I have never had ashes back no interest in doing so either. Having watched the life go from my dogs I know they are just bodies their soul has left quite clearly. I don't have much different attitude to humans bodies either once you are dead the body is just a shell.
