I cannot even stand the thought of cremating and keeping them in the house! My mother even offered to pay to have my beloved dog cremated and she could not understand why the very idea creeped me out so bad. She is buried under the trees in the yard behind the chicken pen.
When I was a kid, my neighbor wanted to stuff her OLD mutt when it died and put it on her mantle. If she had, I likely never would have set foot in her house again! Chickens are a bit different though. Not as creepy as stuffed pet dogs!
