Pet Cemetery

This is probably one of the saddest things I've ever seen. It's an abandoned pet cemetery, with graves dating back as far as the 1960s. The graves (some 500 of them) were moved here seven or eight years ago when the original cemetery land was sold for development. A few years later, the cemetery closed for good when one of the owners died and the other couldn't keep the place up. Supposedly the pet owners were notified and allowed to rebury their pets elsewhere, but there's a lot of overgrown graves still out there.

4. Some of the older graves there.

7. These ones are probably the saddest of all. Just a plastic panel covering a hand written card where the name of the pet has long since faded away.


Thanks for looking.

Awww this is kinda sad. Too bad some of the locals couldn't chip in and trim it back a bit. Thanks for sharing this.

The question is not when are we gonna stop, It's who's gonna stop us?

That is indeed an interesting find.






...Just don't try to reanimate anything in there, ok?

I have never seen tombstones engraved with names like Goober and Muffin before... Sad, yes but also a little bizarre. Though who am I to talk, just had a vet come to the house and put my dog down, she was cremated, and we're going to scatter her ashes on top of a mountain. Yeah you could say I'm an animal person.

This is really cool. That first headstone is especially neat. Thanks for sharing!
