Dear Sir,
Does the prohibition to cremation count for pets, too?
Many thanks in advance!
Kind regards.

The prohibition of cremation applies only to the body of a person, to whom we must behave in great dignity . The discarding of the body of an animal doesn’t require all the special laws of the burial of a person. However, the cremation of an animal should not be made into a ritual.
All the best
