Personalizing your pet’s EUTHABAG

A soothing ritual before saying your final goodbye to your companion. It can facilitate acceptance of the animal’s departure and initiate the mourning process. A letter, a drawing or their favorite toy can be put it in the bag to accompany them across the rainbow bridge. Permanent markers, pens & paint work wonderfully on the fabric.

Planting a garden or creating a memorial

Creating a sanctuary for your deceased animal can be a special way to honor them. Decorating this sanctuary and making it special could help the grieving process. Planting flowers or even a garden can be a great positive step for children during this transition. Every spring, the flowers will bloom again, like a special “hello” from your beloved companion.

“When words are inadequate, have a ritual.”

Ceremony and funerals

Burying your companion at home, where he spent most of his life is a great way to pay tribute to him. Burying your pet yourself can be very peaceful and bring a feeling of closure. You can also have a small ceremony with the members of your family where everyone can pay him one final tribute and decorate his grave. This provides an opportunity to share stories and positive memories of your unique companion and how they’ve impacted you.

Keep in mind that burying a pet can be harmful to wild and domestic animals as well as the environment. Depending on the country, certain laws must be observed when the time comes to bury your pet or ashes. Find more information on the ecology of EUTHABAG and general advice on how to bury your animal and more specifically in Quebec (in french).
