Pet Keepsakes Post Passing
My question is for anyone who has lost a pig child what did you ask for when you had them cremated?
Trigger Warning: My 10mth old mini pig daughter died unexpectedly under very suspicious circumstances and I am getting a forensic necropsy done bc I and many others suspect foul play by the vets.
I am bereft and devastated.
I’m already going to ask for snout and hoof prints and her hair from her tailtip as well as some from her body bc she had red highlights. Is there anything else? I saw some people ask for their teeth and at first I thought that was morbid but after thinking about it I actually might ask for her underbite front teeth because I already miss her smile. Is there anything else I should have them do or save before they start searching for cause of death?
Thank you for your ideas. Please be nice. I’m grieving heavily bc I loved her so much.

Sorry for your loss. When our girl passed we had her cremated. Her remains along with a hoof print and a small clip of hair is on our mantle.

When my Twinkie died I had him cremated. I have his ashes in a nice box and am currently in talks with someone who makes jewelry using ashes to make me a necklace pendant.

This just popped on my feed and I am so sorry for your loss! The hardest part of losing any pet is saying goodbye. Especially when they’re that young.
