Okay, assuming it’s legal, depth matters. You need at least three feet of soil to stop other animals from digging up your dog. Think raccoons, foxes, or your own nosy golden retriever who suddenly smells a snack. Wrap the body in a biodegradable shroud or blanket—no plastic, no sealed boxes. Decomposition needs air, like a weird, sad compost pile.

Also, avoid planting toxic bulbs like daffodils or tulips near the grave. Your garden isn’t a crime scene; it’s a memory. Mark the spot with a stone or a plant—something that lives, because your dog definitely did. Just don’t use a plastic cross from the dollar store, unless you want your garden to look like a miniature cemetery for action figures.
Pro tip: call your local utility company before digging. Nothing kills the mood like hitting a gas line and turning your pet’s funeral into a literal explosion. “Buster’s last gift? A neighborhood evacuation.” Not the legacy you want.
