There comes a time when our labrador retrievers are not lab puppies anymore. When your labrador retriever gets older, the inevitable will happen, they will go on to a different place. We recently had to put down one of our beloved labrador retrievers, and we chose a beautiful pet urn from Perfect Memorials.

At Perfect Memorials, there are some interesting options for your labrador retriever. There is a chocolate labrador retriever pet urn, a yellow labrador retriever, and a black lab laying down pet urn. If a pet urn is just not right for you and your family, you might even consider a labrador retriever memorial statue (pictured below):

Perfect Memorials has a great article about choosing a pet casket if you want to read up a bit more about it. Keep in mind that you will most likely need to choose your burial location wisely: you’re probably going to run into some City & County Burial Regulations if you don’t live in a rural area. If your vet is going to be keeping your labrador retriever for a day or more make sure you let your vet know your plans for a burial. This will allow them to properly position the legs, allowing for easy placement into the casket. Also, when performing a burial the most commonly recommend depth is at least 18″ below ground surface. In areas with high levels of water we encourage digging deeper to ensure water tables do not unearth the casket over time. We strongly encourage individuals to use a depth of 24″ or deeper to help discourage any curious wildlife.

I know that our labrador retriever lived a happy life with us for her 14 years; and we will always remember her for years to come.
