What do people who live in neighborhoods do with the bodies of their dead pets??

[Kitty]

I have a pretty big front and back yard, but when my cat died I felt weird about burying him so I took him to the local pet cemetary to get him cremated. 

I still have his ashes and I paid a little extra for them to make his paw prints in both clay and in ink that I still have. I loved his paws so those are special to me. 

At the time I was grief-stricken so I asked them if they could stuff him for me like taxidermy but they said no.

I also asked my vet if they could clone him. She said that someone probably could and people do that, but it would cost a lot.
