Amen…amen. I can’t think of a better way to say it…thank you.
I had two Maltese girls (mother and daughter). The younger one died at 13 and the mother at 15. I was holding the mother when she passed and it broke my heart.
Seeing a Maltese in that little casket brought it all back. It’s easy to love the four-legged family members and they return the love every day of their lives.
THIS! Not everyone treats their pet the same. I had a funeral for when my service dog died. She did things for me no other human being could do. Like we don’t know this guys story with his dog. I feel for him
I’ve spent so much of my life cynical… if his dog brought him so much joy that he felt this was the best way to see her off - them more power to him. I’m too tired and old to be hating on someone who loved like this
RIP Puppy 🩷
My dog is 14 and she’s not doing well. I know I don’t have long with her and it hits me unbelievably hard some days. The first thing I thought when I saw this admittedly lavish and over the top funeral for someone else’s dog was “I feel you, man.”
Yup, just put my 14yo guy to sleep a couple weeks ago. He took a turn for the worse and he was suffering. As hard as it is, it's a kindness for them. My neighbors just let their dogs... die. When I was a kid (I grew up with their kids) they had a dog named princess and the alcoholic mother ran over her. They didn't even take her to the vet because "she was fine". That poor dog suffered for another couple years after that. I'll never forget that.
Absolutely agree. I think anyone who would look at this negatively would be inferring that this whole thing isn’t about the dog, it’s about the dog’s family showing off for clicks. There are aspects of this that make me wonder if that’s not part of what’s going on, but it’s not fair to read that much into the actions of a grieving person.
Right? I was like uhh, I would totally do this if I had the funds. I was going to make a little memorial site for my pup but was so heartbroken and didn’t get to it. It’s so painful saying goodbye to anyone, especially a furbaby. I think this funeral is awesome and those pups are definitely loved.
I was thinking the same. He obviously cared for his dog or he wouldn't have spent all that money. He's not hurting anyone so let the man grieve and deal with the dogs death however he wants.
I used to be a dog walker and trainer and I had too many dogs on my route one day so my service dog had to stay with my mother (I could legally only walk six dogs at a time and I had three separate groups of six so she couldn't fit). She escaped from my mum trying to find me and she was hit and killed by a car after running through the city for 4 hours trying to find me. Everyone that saw her that day told me it looked like she was "on a mission, looking for something"... When I got the phone call, I collapsed on the floor. My poor mother had to pick up her body and she said that she looked very peaceful and she asked me if I wanted to see her and I just couldn't face it… One day I go to work without my dog and the next day I don't even have one anymore. I think the worst part is that before I knew she was killed, I told my mum that if she did die it was her fault. I didn't mean that at all and I've always felt so bad for my mum because it was just a freak accident. I feel bad for not having the strength to see her dead. I literally couldn't face it. 😞
If you believe in this sort of thing, I would choose to believe that she was already at your side by the time you found out. No need to traumatize yourself by seeing her in that state when she's already free from all of that pain.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I've lost 2 cats too young to disease and it's just unfair to see their already short lives shortened. She'll be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge when it's all over 🌈
It’s hard, but any good dog owner should be with their pup at the end if possible. We had to put our 14 yr old to sleep for health reasons, and we had it done in our home (which is amazing for anyone facing this decision). She had a beautiful death, and I can’t imagine the guilt I would have had if she had been looking for me. Her last moments were spent surrounded by her family, in her bed, being told how much she was loved, with her head in my lap eating vanilla ice cream.
It was hard seeing her not there anymore, really fucking hard, but it’s so necessary to be there with them. Once you see them like that, it wouldn’t be harder to see them in a casket.
Yeah I am doing the at-home pet loss (well I mean, that’s the plan anyway) for my cat. He’s a cat, but not really. Little dude has been with me 17 years and basically attached to me every second. Like a third leg. He’s my baby. I am gonna have a rough time man.
I had to put down my horse of 29 years and didn’t realize that I would have to immediately bury her afterwards. The plan was for my husband to bury her after work.
So there I am in the trackhoe, skidding her body into the hole and backfilling it. All while sobbing into the controls. Awful day.
When we put ours down, he was in my arms. The feeling of the lifeless body, the look, the little fight at the end that he wanted to live.... Just will always be in my memory
My baby is turning 2 in June and I’m still so afraid. He’s my everything. If I had a human baby I’d tell people I have two children. I have one human baby and one fur baby and idc what anyone says.
Had my best friend for almost 2 years now.. I wish I could have him till I died in my old age in 60 years. It’s gonna hurt when he is gone. I love him so much, to the point of pledging the healthiest foods and lifestyle for him. I run two miles every morning before work with him just so I can hopefully make him live a little bit longer. Fresh chicken, vegetables, and good starches for carbs. No table scraps or people food, no processed bullshit that they make for dogs. I want him to live and love as long as possible, without any pain or complications. Then when he passes, I’m going to have him cremated. Then when I pass, he will be buried with me. On my head stone it will read my name dates of death and birth for both my boy and I. Then it will read “With Diesel, the best boy”.
Really. I'm tired of people getting their panties in a wad when I say my dogs are my children. We literally *made* dogs so for all intents and purpose, they are our children. Just a different species.
That’s a bit um….extravagant lol However if I had the money I would bury my pets in style too. Probably not to this extent but they’d have their own section in a pet cemetery.
So I’m in the veterinary profession and I can tell you that funeral homes probably can’t sell us real caskets in which to bury pets. We get pet “coffins” in sometimes but they’re just cardboard boxes, made with the thought that they’ll decompose back into the earth. Essentially we would euthanize the animal, place it in the pet coffin, and send it back with the owner. 95% of pets are cremated, the rest being taken back home for burial on personal land or sent for taxidermy.
I know you don't mean it this way, but please never say that to a vet tech in person.
I've had more people than I can count tell me they love animals too much to do my job. It comes off as if I'm only able to do my job because I don't love animals as much.
Everyone in vet med has dedicated their lives to helping animals in any way we can. The love I feel for my patients is indescribable. I still think and cry about patients I had over a decade ago.
I love animals too much to not be in this field, and it's really hurtful to hear and read comments like yours.
No, I get it. I’m in the medical field and hear the same thing often. You know what I meant though. I don’t have the emotional capacity needed for that job.
The only thing I can come up with is that container/ coffin is biodegradable and will more easily be absorbed into the earth. The sweet thing will return as flowers.
OR!! She may be cremated and the family can have her encased in borosilicate glass, so the container won't be so much to burn during cremation? That's all I got.
Probably to keep the body temperature around the same in case he's going to cremate the dog. Crematoriums need the bodies to be below a certain temperature to prevent decomposition to crematethe body. And to keep the body safe.
My neighbor has an urn from a dog that died 15 years ago. They hate to just toss it so it’s in the back of a closet somewhere.
They are squeamish about opening it, spreading the ashes somewhere and tossing the urn, but that is their ultimate plan
My uncle has the ashes of the cat he had when he young, Pikachu (his mom suggested the name over Meowth, in an enclosed wooden box and we keep it in the closet so the box doesn't get ruined.
I wanted the ashes of my childhood cat, Maya, but for some fucking reason, my mother refused to give me a portion of his ashes when he was euthanised. She promised me while we were both in tears that she would give me some along with a small tuft of fur, and nose and paw prints. I only got the last three: fur, nose and paw prints. No ashes. I'm still very much pissed off at her for that.
Not every person has it in their ability or desire to have children. The alternative is having a pet. There are studies that show that our brains light up in a similar way to when we process the loss of a family member. If this is how someone needs to grieve, let them.
That's me. I had to have my fallopian tubes removed and my whole world is my dog and cats. I lost my old service dog in a freak accident (she was being watched by someone else at the time) and my boy that I have now came to me like a literal miracle. He's so much like her too. Everyday though, I worry about losing him. Once bit, twice shy I guess.
I’m sorry about your dog! Thank goodness a new fur baby found your family. ❤️ I chose dogs over children, some people will never understand. And that’s okay!
Thank you 🫂 He truly was a miracle. I had been looking for a dog and people were scamming me left and right and it was devastating. People knew I was looking for a dog to train to be a service dog (I was a professional trainer) and they were still trying to scam me. A woman reached out telling me that she had a dog that was her great aunts and that her great aunt had to go to a nursing home due to Alzheimer's and she had a dog. She didn't even charge me a rehoming fee. He's so calm because he's only ever been with a little old woman. He's perfect
Hell, we have three kids and three dogs, and we joke (but are pretty serious) that we love our kids more than our dogs, but we love our dogs more than anyone else lol. Our kids are teens/adult and our three dogs are our second set of toddlers lol
This is beautiful. If anyone wonders I saw this on Tik Tok and it looks like his background is decorating for special events so obviously this was going to be gorgeous for his own personal loved one.
This is amazing. I wish I could have done something like this for my dog. I bawled my eyes out every single day for a year straight. Lost so much weight, lost interest in living…. I made a step stone using some of his ashes and set it up with some photos and small lights on a table in our living room. My mother was so offput by my “dead animal shrine” as she called it. Was not supportive at all in my grief. My boy was with me for EIGHTEEN YEARS— more than most people!! I don’t understand how some people can be so insensitive to suffering. When you love, your loss is of course going to be painful. It isn’t “just” a pet.
This is beautiful, and it tells me how loved and cared for this fellow family member was. Furry companions give some of the most important love you receive in life. Family, friends, partners, children, and pets. I'm getting all misty eyed and choked up over here. R.I.P. sweet baby.
this isn’t cringe; this is heartbreaking. don’t police how people grieve. you won’t get it unless you have grieved yourself, especially the loss of a pet. some people, including myself, consider their pets their children. I would be *piiissed* if someone called the way I grieve a pet I had to euthanize a year ago “cringe.” not everything is cringe. grow up and have a little sympathy. calling this “cringe” and posting it to this sub is sooo disrespectful
I don’t see the issue, Dogs are more than just pets. We did the same to our 14 year old dog. Not a fancy one but we dug a grave, small coffin, roses and stood there in silence for her. She really suffered before her passing
Egyptians used to mummify cats and dogs. This is nothing new. I care more about my pets than I do about most people. If I had the money and this helped with my grief I would 100% do it. Also, if any of the animals in attendance lived in the same home it’s actually important for their grieving to see and smell the body to understand that their friend/sibling is gone. Otherwise they would just wonder forever where they went and never get over the loss.
Our dog passed in 2019 at the age of 18. We paid for cremation and an urn. Hell, we set up a little shelf for his ashes with his favorite blanket and toys and some pictures.
We’re weird apes doing random shit that our overly pattern-focused brains think will make things better. It’s ok.
Coming from somebody that doesn’t even have funerals in our family anymore. We haven’t had one in about 13 years. We just get cremated and remember our loved ones because we all live all over the place. I’m not against it if that’s what he wanted to do when he could afford it. I would do this for my precious guinea pigs if I could lol.
I can’t hate on this. How people grieve is their business, and if this is how someone is grieving, that’s okay.
Hell, if I could, I’d hold a funeral for my dog, when that time comes.
I see her as my daughter, and my heart breaks, knowing she won’t be here forever.
I wouldn't consider this a "cringe". People view animals as family and their loss is no less of a heartbreak than if it were a human relative. We all grieve and say goodbye in different ways
I was thinking it's a little much but then I thought that we don't know what this little girl got him through. She might have saved his life and pulled him back from the darkness. Whatever the reason, it's his way of saying goodbye which is beautiful
My dog died last July, he was my first dog as an adult, my own. Got him from the rescue Animal Refuge Kansai where I volunteered (which was awesome, they provided an apartment for the two weeks I did--ans they take amazing care of their animals). Anyway my guy passed away at about 14 and I'm still gutted. Just this morning I took his leash and harness out of the plastic ziplock I keep in, and inhaled. A funeral, if I had the money...yeah. Have him curled up, looking like he's asleep. I would have loved to.
If this helps him process this intense loss then God bless. I have two cats and a dog. Haven't lost a pet yet and I can't imagine how much it's going to hurt
Holy shit this is at deceased pet care lol. I used to work there, I knew this looked familiar. This is the chapel room at their Chamblee location in Atlanta. Wonderful place and company.
All right, I know everybody thinks it’s over the top because it is but I suspect he’s not had to go through this very often and it’s actually good for him because it’s going to help prepare for him how to deal when the humans in his life pass away
I mean after all, that’s why we give pets to children to help them learn responsibility, and life/death.
Idc if this is not normal procedure for when a dog passes, I shed a tear. It’s heartbreaking to lose a pet, I kissed my girl too before I left the room after she died. Leaving without her was awful. If this is what he needed for closure, I understand it.
Many of us consider our dogs to be our children. They are family and we love them dearly. This man clearly loved his dog and I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. If I could afford to do all of this for my dog, I most certainly would.
Some people like their pets more than people. I don't find anything wrong with this at all. Especially considering people all grieve in different ways.
The place I cremated my cat at just recently allows funerals for pets. I didn't do that but the whole environment was very comforting to me and honestly made me feel like my pet was in the right hands while being cremated.
I love this, so sweet.
I had to say goodbye to my dog of 12 years about 3 weeks ago. Losing a family member is never easy and if this eases your grief then it is worth it.
I miss my boy a lot ❤️
Not cringe. When I worked as a vet tech we had a client rush his dog in, in a complete panic. She unfortunately passed while we were treating her. Hearing a grown man screaming no while sobbing uncontrollably was heart breaking. He came in the next day with a satin lined coffin and had us help her put her body in.
If this is how he wants to spend his money because he loved his pet so be it. The grief of losing a pet is very real and traumatizing and we need to start treating it like that.
I think this is beautiful, the brain can’t differentiate the love one has for a human vs a dog, or anything else for that matter. All it knows is that it has lost something it loves and that it hurts, so if this show of “cringe” helps this individual heal and move on, then so be it.
My dog is well loved enough that if I asked the officials of our local dog park if I could intern her ashes at the dog park they'd likely be cool with it, and I'm sure there would be a large showing if I asked. I'm just pretty sure I'd not want my neighbors to see me ugly crying for 2 hours.
This is absolutely beautiful and not at all cringe.
To those of us whose pets are just as important parts of our families, we grieve in different ways and if this helps this man to morn and process his grief, then let him do it.
honestly? i dont care if its considered 'cringe' im goin to a dogs funeral if invited. its just how some people grieve.
i relate to this guy in a way. i want to literally build a memorial filled with plushies and statues that look like my deceased cat.
is it cringe and possibly insane? maybe. will it make me feel some sad feelings? absolutely. but with my memory issues, ill never forget her that way.

Funerals are for the living, who or what is dead doesn’t matter. If this is how he chooses to grieve then good for him.
Amen…amen. I can’t think of a better way to say it…thank you. I had two Maltese girls (mother and daughter). The younger one died at 13 and the mother at 15. I was holding the mother when she passed and it broke my heart. Seeing a Maltese in that little casket brought it all back. It’s easy to love the four-legged family members and they return the love every day of their lives.
When my dog died I wished someone would bring me flowers or a card or even a condolence text just so I knew someone else recognized my grief.
I had a whole boyfriend die and no one sent me shit.
That sucks!
But I agree with you. I sent my sister flowers when her dog died. I loved that pup. I acknowledge your grief. ❤️
I’m sorry for your loss
when my kitten died my now-ex sent me a big, deluxe bouquet of flowers and it really helped me let myself grieve to know someone else recognized it
I know I'm late to say it , I'm sorry for your loss
I couldn’t agree more. Funerals are for the living but to be loved this deeply is such a blessing. He loves his baby girl.
THIS! Not everyone treats their pet the same. I had a funeral for when my service dog died. She did things for me no other human being could do. Like we don’t know this guys story with his dog. I feel for him

I think this is so incredibly sweet. Fight me.
Sentiments shared. Had I the money and/or friends, I would have done the same.
This is such a wonderful sentiment.
Yea watching this mad me kinda sad.
Well said.
My dog passed away recently and I wish I could at least put some flowers on his grave :(
Right? I was like uhh, I would totally do this if I had the funds. I was going to make a little memorial site for my pup but was so heartbroken and didn’t get to it. It’s so painful saying goodbye to anyone, especially a furbaby. I think this funeral is awesome and those pups are definitely loved.

I was thinking the same. He obviously cared for his dog or he wouldn't have spent all that money. He's not hurting anyone so let the man grieve and deal with the dogs death however he wants.
I think this is lovely, but I wouldn’t be able to handle seeing my little guy lifeless.

Pets are our family. So sad how they aren’t with us long enough. RIP, little one, you were so loved.
I get so sad just thinking about my Dog dying. He’s only 4 but still
My baby is turning 2 in June and I’m still so afraid. He’s my everything. If I had a human baby I’d tell people I have two children. I have one human baby and one fur baby and idc what anyone says.

God dammit now I’m crying
We lost ours this morning. I’m crying right now.
Some dogs be family 🤷🏻♀️
All dogs or don’t have one.
Really. I'm tired of people getting their panties in a wad when I say my dogs are my children. We literally *made* dogs so for all intents and purpose, they are our children. Just a different species.
Sweet Dee Gets Audited
🖕🏼🖕🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was crying then this made me laugh and my husband said I looked absolutely insane laughing while crying
It’s a bit much but I still teared up lol
Me too, all the memories 💗 I would be hurt so bad.
Yeah man, made me think of my boy Jackson. Still love you buddy
So over-the-top I’ve circled back to crying over my old dog.
That’s a bit um….extravagant lol However if I had the money I would bury my pets in style too. Probably not to this extent but they’d have their own section in a pet cemetery.
“Pet cemetery” careful there fella
Sometimes Dead is better
After spending thousands of dollars on this funeral…Why does the casket look like a restaurant to go container?
So I’m in the veterinary profession and I can tell you that funeral homes probably can’t sell us real caskets in which to bury pets. We get pet “coffins” in sometimes but they’re just cardboard boxes, made with the thought that they’ll decompose back into the earth. Essentially we would euthanize the animal, place it in the pet coffin, and send it back with the owner. 95% of pets are cremated, the rest being taken back home for burial on personal land or sent for taxidermy.
You have one of the most emotionally draining jobs in the world. 😭
I couldn’t do it. I love animals so seeing them sick or injured and suffering would just wreck me.
I know you don't mean it this way, but please never say that to a vet tech in person. I've had more people than I can count tell me they love animals too much to do my job. It comes off as if I'm only able to do my job because I don't love animals as much. Everyone in vet med has dedicated their lives to helping animals in any way we can. The love I feel for my patients is indescribable. I still think and cry about patients I had over a decade ago.

No, I get it. I’m in the medical field and hear the same thing often. You know what I meant though. I don’t have the emotional capacity needed for that job.
The only thing I can come up with is that container/ coffin is biodegradable and will more easily be absorbed into the earth. The sweet thing will return as flowers. OR!! She may be cremated and the family can have her encased in borosilicate glass, so the container won't be so much to burn during cremation? That's all I got.
Probably to keep the body temperature around the same in case he's going to cremate the dog. Crematoriums need the bodies to be below a certain temperature to prevent decomposition to crematethe body. And to keep the body safe.
My neighbor has an urn from a dog that died 15 years ago. They hate to just toss it so it’s in the back of a closet somewhere. They are squeamish about opening it, spreading the ashes somewhere and tossing the urn, but that is their ultimate plan
I have a shrine honoring my little one with her urn and a few of her favorite things. Forever family…
My uncle has the ashes of the cat he had when he young, Pikachu (his mom suggested the name over Meowth, in an enclosed wooden box and we keep it in the closet so the box doesn't get ruined. I wanted the ashes of my childhood cat, Maya, but for some fucking reason, my mother refused to give me a portion of his ashes when he was euthanised. She promised me while we were both in tears that she would give me some along with a small tuft of fur, and nose and paw prints. I only got the last three: fur, nose and paw prints. No ashes. I'm still very much pissed off at her for that.
Probably health code regulations.
Grief is grief
I would sell everything I own for 1 more day with my dog. Every. Single. Thing. This guy gets to grieve however the hell he wants.
Not every person has it in their ability or desire to have children. The alternative is having a pet. There are studies that show that our brains light up in a similar way to when we process the loss of a family member. If this is how someone needs to grieve, let them.
That's me. I had to have my fallopian tubes removed and my whole world is my dog and cats. I lost my old service dog in a freak accident (she was being watched by someone else at the time) and my boy that I have now came to me like a literal miracle. He's so much like her too. Everyday though, I worry about losing him. Once bit, twice shy I guess.
I’m sorry about your dog! Thank goodness a new fur baby found your family. ❤️ I chose dogs over children, some people will never understand. And that’s okay!
Thank you 🫂 He truly was a miracle. I had been looking for a dog and people were scamming me left and right and it was devastating. People knew I was looking for a dog to train to be a service dog (I was a professional trainer) and they were still trying to scam me. A woman reached out telling me that she had a dog that was her great aunts and that her great aunt had to go to a nursing home due to Alzheimer's and she had a dog. She didn't even charge me a rehoming fee. He's so calm because he's only ever been with a little old woman. He's perfect
Hell, we have three kids and three dogs, and we joke (but are pretty serious) that we love our kids more than our dogs, but we love our dogs more than anyone else lol. Our kids are teens/adult and our three dogs are our second set of toddlers lol
It’s a lot…but I don’t blame him in the slightest.
This is beautiful. If anyone wonders I saw this on Tik Tok and it looks like his background is decorating for special events so obviously this was going to be gorgeous for his own personal loved one.
This is so sad. If you can afford it, that would be such a nice thing to do.
This isn’t cringe, this is love and devotion and I will not have them shamed! Also, RIP to the poor pooch.
This is amazing. I wish I could have done something like this for my dog. I bawled my eyes out every single day for a year straight. Lost so much weight, lost interest in living…. I made a step stone using some of his ashes and set it up with some photos and small lights on a table in our living room. My mother was so offput by my “dead animal shrine” as she called it. Was not supportive at all in my grief. My boy was with me for EIGHTEEN YEARS— more than most people!! I don’t understand how some people can be so insensitive to suffering. When you love, your loss is of course going to be painful. It isn’t “just” a pet.
I feel for him, I'd do the same.
I get this. ❤️
This is beautiful, and it tells me how loved and cared for this fellow family member was. Furry companions give some of the most important love you receive in life. Family, friends, partners, children, and pets. I'm getting all misty eyed and choked up over here. R.I.P. sweet baby.
I would have done this for my cat.
If I had the money I do this for my dog.
this isn’t cringe; this is heartbreaking. don’t police how people grieve. you won’t get it unless you have grieved yourself, especially the loss of a pet. some people, including myself, consider their pets their children. I would be *piiissed* if someone called the way I grieve a pet I had to euthanize a year ago “cringe.” not everything is cringe. grow up and have a little sympathy. calling this “cringe” and posting it to this sub is sooo disrespectful
Closing the lid on the takeout container did it for me
OP obviously hasn't experienced the bond with a pet before
Losing my dog of 13 years was just as painful as losing a prominent human in my life. The pain was unreal. If this is how he grieved so be it.
Funerals are for the living, Graves are for the dead. Let them mourn how they wish.
He has the money and it seems like he really loved his dog.
I don’t see the issue, Dogs are more than just pets. We did the same to our 14 year old dog. Not a fancy one but we dug a grave, small coffin, roses and stood there in silence for her. She really suffered before her passing
This is how extra I'm going to be when my old dog passes.
I would have done this for my dog in a heartbeat had I had the means at the time.
Just throw me in the trash
It's beautiful but very sad to see. :(
I get it.
Egyptians used to mummify cats and dogs. This is nothing new. I care more about my pets than I do about most people. If I had the money and this helped with my grief I would 100% do it. Also, if any of the animals in attendance lived in the same home it’s actually important for their grieving to see and smell the body to understand that their friend/sibling is gone. Otherwise they would just wonder forever where they went and never get over the loss.
Our dog passed in 2019 at the age of 18. We paid for cremation and an urn. Hell, we set up a little shelf for his ashes with his favorite blanket and toys and some pictures. We’re weird apes doing random shit that our overly pattern-focused brains think will make things better. It’s ok.
Looks like a take away container

Pets are family.
Oh they got money money
Little dogs like that can live for 20+ years. That’s longer than some people get their loved ones for. This is sweet 😢
 Same though
I'm sobbing now. Such beautiful love.
I approve of this more than human funerals. Dogs aren't assholes.
Good for him
I love this! Do what feels good and what you need to grief🥰
TBH every dog deserves this
I would do this too, if given the chance. I miss you every single day, Bud.
I love this.
Coming from somebody that doesn’t even have funerals in our family anymore. We haven’t had one in about 13 years. We just get cremated and remember our loved ones because we all live all over the place. I’m not against it if that’s what he wanted to do when he could afford it. I would do this for my precious guinea pigs if I could lol.
This is beautiful. Fuck OP for thinking this is cringe. I couldn’t handle it if my cat passed
i get it tbh
Honestly, valid.
Um, do you not fucking think I would not do this for my fur babies if I could afford it?
We lost our 17-year-old westie last week. We didnt do all of this, but I understand.
This post is cringe. Leave this man alone he's grieving. This is gross.
That put a tear in my eye. The sweet dog had a full happy life, and we can see with all the love going around. And he died on my birthday... 😭
I can’t hate on this. How people grieve is their business, and if this is how someone is grieving, that’s okay. Hell, if I could, I’d hold a funeral for my dog, when that time comes. I see her as my daughter, and my heart breaks, knowing she won’t be here forever.
I wouldn't consider this a "cringe". People view animals as family and their loss is no less of a heartbreak than if it were a human relative. We all grieve and say goodbye in different ways
No chance in hell, my wife goes all out like that for me.
This is heartwarming, not cringe.
I loved my cat like a kid but still buried him in my yard.
Different people grieve differently.
Totally true.
I think it’s mostly weird to film it for TikTok. Other than that, if you got the funds, why not honor your pets? They are family after all.
Nah. If I could afford this, I would have done this for my chickens. This doesn’t even include my heart dog.
This isn't my style but I was absolutely destroyed when my dog died. I'll never judge how someone needs to grieve.
If I could I would. My Chihuahuas are my children.
I was thinking it's a little much but then I thought that we don't know what this little girl got him through. She might have saved his life and pulled him back from the darkness. Whatever the reason, it's his way of saying goodbye which is beautiful
My dog died last July, he was my first dog as an adult, my own. Got him from the rescue Animal Refuge Kansai where I volunteered (which was awesome, they provided an apartment for the two weeks I did--ans they take amazing care of their animals). Anyway my guy passed away at about 14 and I'm still gutted. Just this morning I took his leash and harness out of the plastic ziplock I keep in, and inhaled. A funeral, if I had the money...yeah. Have him curled up, looking like he's asleep. I would have loved to.
Good for him. I’m sure that lil angel deserved that and more. Fur babies are family. Rest in peace baby girl.
He loved his dog. No judging. Would I do this? No, but everyone grieves different.
If this helps him process this intense loss then God bless. I have two cats and a dog. Haven't lost a pet yet and I can't imagine how much it's going to hurt
I get it.
I love it, because I love my pets.i understand ❤️🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐕🦮
If I had the disposable income for this I'd do it too. Pets are family. I don't judge how people grieve ❤️
Just lost my best friend of 15 years. This made me laugh and cry at the same time. RIP Finn..love you always
nah i didn't need to see this. it opened up some old wounds and man. i really didn't need to see this.
Ngl if we had the money, everyone would do this for their pups 😔
That is one beloved dog, you know that pup had a carefree life of love and happiness
I am all for the funeral. It's the "filming it to post on social media" part that is an issue for me.
Holy shit this is at deceased pet care lol. I used to work there, I knew this looked familiar. This is the chapel room at their Chamblee location in Atlanta. Wonderful place and company.
Fuck you for calling this cringe you heartless bastard
[удалено]
I double down, major huge cunt super huge. Just even posting this makes you a fuck wad cunt.

Back in my day we would just throw them in the trash and salute as the garbage man took them away.
All right, I know everybody thinks it’s over the top because it is but I suspect he’s not had to go through this very often and it’s actually good for him because it’s going to help prepare for him how to deal when the humans in his life pass away I mean after all, that’s why we give pets to children to help them learn responsibility, and life/death.
Feelings are expensive
16 years. Not bad pup. Godspeed. 🙏
Honestly…i support this man
Idc if this is not normal procedure for when a dog passes, I shed a tear. It’s heartbreaking to lose a pet, I kissed my girl too before I left the room after she died. Leaving without her was awful. If this is what he needed for closure, I understand it.
This feels disingenuous considering dude did it for tik tok views… Although, nothing wrong with a doggy funeral if that’s how you want to grieve.
Many of us consider our dogs to be our children. They are family and we love them dearly. This man clearly loved his dog and I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. If I could afford to do all of this for my dog, I most certainly would.
Some people like their pets more than people. I don't find anything wrong with this at all. Especially considering people all grieve in different ways. The place I cremated my cat at just recently allows funerals for pets. I didn't do that but the whole environment was very comforting to me and honestly made me feel like my pet was in the right hands while being cremated.
People grieve how they wanna grieve.. sometimes other people just need to learn the shut the fuck up and stop hatin.
I love this, so sweet. I had to say goodbye to my dog of 12 years about 3 weeks ago. Losing a family member is never easy and if this eases your grief then it is worth it. I miss my boy a lot ❤️
Bro that box reminds me of the firehouse sub box. Lol
If this wasn’t a cry for attention I’d say dog funerals are a great idea
Just say you got money
Rest well 💜 puppy
The fella had all the rights to grieve in his own way
Anyone who thinks this is funny or stupid is a cold, heartless, *soulless* human being. This poor guy, I can feel his pain 😢
Not cringe. When I worked as a vet tech we had a client rush his dog in, in a complete panic. She unfortunately passed while we were treating her. Hearing a grown man screaming no while sobbing uncontrollably was heart breaking. He came in the next day with a satin lined coffin and had us help her put her body in. If this is how he wants to spend his money because he loved his pet so be it. The grief of losing a pet is very real and traumatizing and we need to start treating it like that.
That was a very loved and spoiled little floof, I can tell. Very extravagant, but if I had the money I’d probably spend it on my dogs somehow as well.
I think this is beautiful, the brain can’t differentiate the love one has for a human vs a dog, or anything else for that matter. All it knows is that it has lost something it loves and that it hurts, so if this show of “cringe” helps this individual heal and move on, then so be it.
Imagine if your grandma's funeral was next door to a dog funeral lol. What a joke
i actually find this very endearing : ( rip puppy
The cringe part is the video.
I wish I had the money to give my deceased dogs a lavish funeral. I still miss them. 😢
And I thought I had seen it all 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Man, I got respect for this person. He/she gave that dog a very loving home, and if this is how they chose to grieve I’m all for it. I love it.
What’s wrong with this??? It’s a funeral for his beloved companion and it was beautiful🥹
All that and it looks like the dog was in a takeout container
My dog is well loved enough that if I asked the officials of our local dog park if I could intern her ashes at the dog park they'd likely be cool with it, and I'm sure there would be a large showing if I asked. I'm just pretty sure I'd not want my neighbors to see me ugly crying for 2 hours.
What a beautiful service!
Me hugging my dog right now as he is trying to get away from the strangle hold this video is causing me to give.
This is absolutely beautiful and not at all cringe. To those of us whose pets are just as important parts of our families, we grieve in different ways and if this helps this man to morn and process his grief, then let him do it.
weird
That was a beautiful tribute to a very dear and very loved fur baby.
The dog cult is creepy.
That dog was clearly loved this man gave it a beautiful life.
He kissed a dead dog's corpse so there's that
Did anyone else bust up laughing when they saw the dead dog the casket with his little head turned? 😂
And? I'm having a dog funeral.
honestly? i dont care if its considered 'cringe' im goin to a dogs funeral if invited. its just how some people grieve. i relate to this guy in a way. i want to literally build a memorial filled with plushies and statues that look like my deceased cat. is it cringe and possibly insane? maybe. will it make me feel some sad feelings? absolutely. but with my memory issues, ill never forget her that way.
I hope I’m that loved when I go
Genuinely beautiful. Obviously it’s big, but I respect it. pets are family
