Jake's Funeral- Kids Dealing With Pet Loss, pet funeral Options

[mydogjake]

Our beloved family dog died last week and we have all been devastated. My daughter who is 7 was having so much trouble dealing with the loss of her best friend. He was a white little maltese/yorkie mix and he was 13 years old. His passing was very sudden and my daughter didn't get to say goodbye : ... (!!!!
I had a very tough time explaining to her about death and what had happened. I started doing research online and came across something that helped me soooo much!! It was a complete pet funeral kit that came with the sweetest book for my daughter to fill out. It has questions like "what was your dog's favorite toy?", "what is the best memory you have of your pet?" ect. It also had a full funeral for us to recite together. We all decorated the box it came with and put his favorite toy and collar inside as a memory keep sake.
My daughter has it on her shelf of her room and ever since the day we received the kit, decorated the box and used the guide and work book she has been dealing with it so much better. I just wanted to share this info since it helped our family so much. I think it might be a new product because I have never seen it before but I thank whoever came up with this idea as I feel pet loss is hardly dealt with in the commercial world.
If anyone has any other ways they helped their children deal with the loss of their best friend please post them here. While she is doing so much better any advice will help me and her dad out! Thanks in advance.

While researching I found this link that I will share here.

Goodbye sweet Jakey boy we miss you so much!!!!!!!!!!!
