As a continuation of our review on back yard pet burial in San Diego we will cover another reason why pet cremation may be the better choice for you.
Reason #2: Local Restrictions on Backyard Pet Burial in San Diego
Another important consideration when deciding between backyard burial and professional pet aftercare is local restrictions. In California, including San Diego, there are strict regulations surrounding the burial of pets in residential yards.
Under California Health and Safety Code 117885, it is illegal to bury pet remains in a private backyard. The law mandates that animal remains must be disposed of in a manner that protects public health and safety. As a result, pet owners are required to choose one of the following options for proper disposal of their pet’s remains:
Aquamation/Cremation - A safe and respectful method for handling pet remains.
Animal Rendering Facilities - A facility where pet remains are processed in an environmentally safe manner.
Licensed Pet Cemeteries - Where pets can be buried in a legally regulated, environmentally secure space.
By choosing water cremation or another legal alternative, pet owners ensure they are in compliance with state laws and contributing to public health and environmental safety.
