America’s First Pet Burial Grounds - Est 1896

Hartsdale Pet Cemetery near White Plains, NY, also called The Peaceable Kingdom, was established in 1896 by a New York City veterinarian who offered an apple orchard at his summer retreat in nearby Westchester County to serve as a burial plot for a bereaved friend’s dog. Its five acres are home to 80,000 pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and a lion cub among the vast numbers of cats and dogs).

  1. I can see why this became popular. Many people live in apartments/condos with no property. A lot more are transient , planning on moving up or out in a few years. I have five acres and more than a dozen pet graves over and above my own pets.
