i would cast my own stone or do some other kind of marker/memorial, but there's no way i would spend that kind of money on a pet headstone.
what do you do with it if you move away?

This kind of thing has been around longer than you know. While touring the city of Rome, I passed over a cemetary area for the Leigon. Off to one side, but still a part of the main cemetary was a smaller section, with smaller stones. At first, I thought it must be for children attached to the roman army for purposes of family or ground support. When I started examining the stones closer, I realized I was looking at the final resting place of a decurion's dog. The whole smaller section was reserved for the pets of officers and enlisted men. The markers contained the pet's name, species, a short message, and the owner's name. Often, the owner was buried adjacent to the pet in the next section over.
We've associated ourselves with animals on a very personal level for longer than our species has had writing. What's so suprising that people consider pets as vital parts of the family?

Oh, at Edinburgh Castle in Scotland, there is a terraced area that was reserved specifically as a cemetery for soldiers' dogs.
If you move away?
You should leave it so the people that move in know why the roses grow so good!

Looks normal compared to a close friend of mine who purchased a child's casket to bury her dog in. It was over $600!
Okay the whole casket thing for a dog is just a bit over the top! My mom and her bf got our dog cremated, he sits on our fireplace. That was a sad day when he died, he died at home around 4am in the morning!
But as far as the plasque thing goes, I don't know if I could do that! I think for me that would be too painful to see, a reminder of my loss everyday! I love my cat very much he's my baby I've grown up with him. Had him in 1996, when I was 6. I'll be 18 in Sept. He means the world to me, and when he goes I'll be beyond upset, but noway I'd get a plaque, the reminder would just be too much!
