Pet lovers now can show their love to their dear friends even when they are gone, with pet coffins now available in various sizes and colours. 

This storeroom of pet caskets is a part of Chonsamon Kanchanapat business. These colourful caskets are used as coffins for pets such as dogs, cats and rabbits.

Small coffins are offered for small dogs like Poodles and chihuahuas. Bigger coffins are available for Saint Bernards and Golden Retreivers. The cost of a pet coffin ranges from 700 baht to the largest size at 4,500 baht.

A coffin together with a free pillow and a wreath will be delivered to customers by pick-up truck.

Chonsamon started her pet coffin business from her family’s furniture factory three years ago.  Her products have been registered for a patent. Although the number of orders for pet coffins are not impressively high, the business offers a choice for pet lovers to  give the last special treat to their loyal friends.

 “The business has potential to grow. Lifestyles have changed. Now more people live on their own and they like to keep a pet as a friend,” she said.

Besides pet coffins, wooden boxes for keeping a pet’s ashes are provided in case pet owners decide to cremate their dead pets. The wooden box can be decorated with a picture of the pet and its name as a token of remembrance after the funeral.

A “green” proposal to ease pressure on Torbay’s burial capacity is being considered.

The Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust is in informal discussion with council officers about the possibility of a providing a green burial site somewhere in the resort. The idea is to have a wildflower meadow without plaques or head stones, so avoiding the difficulties of management, and comes as the council’s executive is due to consider a 1,600 signature petition opposing grassing over of Torquay cemetery.
Trust director Dominic Acland said: “We are agreeable to it in principle, and there does seem to be a demand for it.

“It seems people are quite keen to return their bodies to nature.

“A number of other trusts have taken it up quite successfully and it is an appropriate thing to do.

“We envisage it would be a wildflower meadow, but there would be no plaques or head stones.

“After the burial the ground would go back to being a meadow.

“We would make it obvious that it is a place of remembrance or burial.”

The trust would use about one or two acres of its 1,700 acre estate.

Mr Acland said it would not be close to houses, or in woodland, or on special nature sites like Berry Head or Cockington Country Park. “I am sure we can find somewhere reasonably remote.”

It would need to be approved and regulated by the council and the Environment Agency.

The 1,633 signature petition has been organised by Trevor Parnell and Teresa Whitcher, who both have relatives buried at the cemetery.

It was presented to the council by former councillor Bruce Cowling, who says three members of his family are buried in the cemetery.

Mr Cowling said to councillors: “Really these people only wish to place flowers and look after the graves of their own.”

Relatives of those buried in the cemetery were angered when cemetery officials insisted only a 12-inch square in front of the headstone could be used for plants and memorials.

Cemetery officials say it is a lawned cemetery, which has to be kept clear in front of headstones so the rows between them can be mown.

Environment councillor Colin Charlwood said: “This is very sensitive issue and we will try to find an answer that is reasonable, and that is probably all we can do.”
