Self-Directed Pet Aftercare
You as the pet owner will coordinate your pet’s aftercare. This may include burial on private property or making your own arrangements for cremation.
The Home Burial
Some pet parents prefer to keep their pet at home, for burial on their private property. In doing so, you will need to adhere to your local ordinances and laws regarding the home burial process. This is important to protect the integrity of your pet, as well as the surrounding environment and wildlife.

Washington State law requires that “a person disposing of a dead animal by burial must place it so that every part is covered by at least three feet of soil; at a location not less than one hundred feet from any well, spring, stream or other surface waters; not in a low-lying area subject to seasonal flooding or within a one-hundred-year flood plain; and not in a manner likely to contaminate groundwater” (WAC 16-25-025).
