Entrance to Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York
A pet cemetery is a cemetery for pets . Although the veneration and burial of beloved pets has been practiced since ancient times, burial grounds reserved specifically for animals were not common until the late 19th century.
History
[ edit ] Mummified cat at the Louvre
Many human cultures buried animal remains. For example, the Ancient Egyptians mummified and buried cats , which they considered deities ; the oldest known pet cemetery, mainly used for cat burials, was found during the excavation of the Berenice Troglodytica seaport in 2011 and was used between the 1st and 2nd century CE [1] [2] Ashkelon dog cemetery , the largest known dog cemetery in the ancient world, was discovered at the Ashkelon National Park in Ashkelon , Israel .[3]
The Hiran Minar Lahore , Pakistan is a minaret that was built in approximately 1606 CE by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir in honor of his beloved pet antelope Mansraj.[4]
London's Hyde Park was the site of an informal pet cemetery between 1881 and 1903, in the gatekeeper's garden.[5] [6] Royal Marines mascot dog "Prince" in 1967.[7]
Cimetière des Chiens
Cimetière des Chiens in Asnières-sur-Seine in Paris , dating from 1899, is an elaborate, sculpted pet cemetery believed to be one of the first public zoological necropolis in the world.[8]
America's largest and oldest pet cemetery is the Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York . It dates from 1896, when a veterinarian working out of Manhattan offered to let a grieving pet owner bury her dog at his hillside apple orchard. Today, it is the final resting place to around 80,000 animals including famous ones like Mariah Carey 's cat Clarence and Ming the tiger .[9] [10] National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[11] Aspin Hill Memorial Park in Silver Spring, Maryland , believed to be the second-oldest in America,[12] [13] Pet Memorial Cemetery in Calabasas, California , where Hopalong Cassidy 's horse, Topper, Steven Spielberg 's Jack Russell Terrier , and Rudolph Valentino 's dog, Kabar, are buried.[14]
Burial with humans
[ edit ]
At some cemeteries, such as Aspin Hill Memorial Park,[15] Stainton by Langworth to inter animal remains alongside human remains as part of a "green burial " site, making it the first place in England where pets could be buried alongside their owners.[16] New York State formally adopted guidelines to allow human burials in pet cemeteries as long as the cemetery doesn't advertise it or charge a burial fee.[9]
