I don't think it is. Unless it's something like you sprinkle them in your bed or you keep them on display. If your pet was very dear to you, it's fine to keep his or her ashes in your home, as long as it's somewhere safe and private ( as in, not sitting on your kitchen counter in a shoe box). If you ever feel weird about it or don't want to keep them anymore, you could sprinkle them on his or her favorite outdoor playing or sleeping place. Or you could sprinkle them in a river, and know that he or she will be in the rivers of life forever. (Corny I know lol) Hope that helps. (by the way, my mom has a tiny box of my aunts ashes, because my cousin did the ceremony without us there at all, so my mom wants to keep a part of her sister. its in her room in a tiny ring sized box. not creepy at all to me =) it's something to remember my aunt by, you know? )

no, it's not any more gross than people who keep their relatives ashes. My mom has the ashes of one of our cats and one of our dogs sitting in our garage, in the hopes that one day she will spread them out in the garden.

No my friend kept her cats ashes in an earn. It's not like a main feauture that everyone sees as soon as they enter the house, its just in her room, with a couple of pictures.

My grandmother kept her cat too, but she was crazy and the bloody thing was woshipped, and it was the nastiest cat ever too.
no way.

if you truly loved them then why not keep them. a frfiend of mines boxer paast away of cancer and the kept the ashes.
Well, I'm not sure. It would be a odd way to remember your pet, but there are worse things. At my step-grandfather's farm they used to have a cat. Well, after it died he took it to a taxidermist and now it is stuffed sitting on a shelf. I think keeping ashes is a LOT better then that.
oh chorse not it is memories of ur pet because my aunt has ashes of her dog and she had her dog for a looooooong time. it would be nice. i will do that to my dogs.
I don't think it's gross at all. I've heard of a lot of people do this. Sometimes they keep them in a urn while others have them fired into a clay figure of their pet. Do whatever makes you feel better and helps the grieving process.
No its not weird! Some of my friends has their dogs in a vase! If you have had a pet for a long time and it dies it would be a good way to remember it .
its sweet!!! you always remember your puppy
no it's perfectly fine alot of ppl do it probably but don't say nething b/c they're afraid ppl will find it weird but it's not ne weirder than ppl keeping their loved ones ashes ........but no it's not weird at all
i had my dog but used her to fertilize a garden.

i know a few people with human ashes -- i don't think its that weird. in a shrinking earth you can bury everything.
Of course not!!! If you love your pet, keeping their ashes would be showing that to others! Weird to type... but-- we still have my mom's ashes. It's different, but keeping your pet's ashes proves to people that you don't have the heart to toss them out to the world. It's perfectly fine in my eyes!
Compaired to the other thing I have seen NO. I know someone who had their pet stuffed and sitting in the living room and takes it to her bedroom and sits in next to her bed when she goes to bed.
No...I don't think it is. When My Golden R dies I'm going to keep her ashes. When my Boxer dies I'm going to have her stuffed. Those are 2 of my most prised posetions. My boxer is young. I havent even had her for a year yet but I know she is a year old. My Golden R is....9 years old. Her belly is all big from how many litters shes had. I love my pets dearly and If you have your pets ashes I'm proud of you because some people just can't take it. It also showes that you cared deeply for them and still do.
I think keeping his ashes is a wonderful tribute to a much beloved pet.
