Today I received the call from the pet mortuary. And that was not exactly a call I was looking forward to. Usually I take the few personal calls I receive during my work hours in the office. But taking this call I walked out of the office. The girl from the pet funeral company was very nice. I did have a pretty clear idea for what I wanted for Daisy.
I chose to opt for a single cremation. I didn't want her to be cremated with other animals. I just wanted it to be her ashes. It's more expensive, but I really didn't care about the costs. Only the best for my companion animal. And I did choose a urn that really looks visually appealing and is appropriate for the occasion. I could have opted to pay for a pet grave in Vienna's Pet Cemetery, but I chose not to. It's not a question of money, but the pet cemetery is on the very outskirts of Vienna and not that easily accessible by public transportation. And I really want Daisy's ashes back and incorporate them into my apartment. To some that might sound a little weird, but it's not an uncommon practice in parts of Austria's rural communities. And to recreate something like that is something I had in mind.
When all that was done, I got the total of all the funeral arrangements. It came up to a little over 500 bucks. I didn't even think about that twice. I gave my OK and the pet mortuary was going to send me the invoice by email and of course I was going to transfer the money the same day. As soon as the receive the money they will be going ahead with the funeral arrangements.
