I thought it was weird as hell when my cat died the crematorium asking if i wanted fur, paw prints and shit like that. I said no and they did it anyway. Gross as hell to think they took my dead pet and pluck fur of his dead body, forced his dead feet into a piece of a clay and gave it to me. fuck that, I dont get why people would want that. I kept whiskers that fell out on their own while he was alive, though.
Sort of like a mortician who handles the burial of a family member giving you a tasteful little box after the service which contains a hank of hair, an inked palm-print, and a postmortem photo.
I can kind of understand that for a stillborn baby. I don't think I'd want that, personally, but I can understand why they'd want something to remind them when they have been left with nothing. For anyone else, it's creepy.
My aunt wants my grandmother left at home until she can travel from Melbourne to Sydney (takes her 2 days with 2 kids she intends on bringing with her) to see her at home instead of at a funeral home.
Intellectually, I can see where she's coming from, but it's caused some rifts.
Is it normal to keep your deceased dog’s fur?

I agree: that's some peculiar shit.
