What Burial on Cemetery Grounds Includes

You begin by selecting a plot location within the Watkinsville cemetery. Plots are available in shaded areas, open lawn sections, and near benches or memorial features. Once you choose a plot, staff will prepare the grave to the appropriate depth based on the size of your pet and the vault being used. Your pet is placed in the casket you selected, and the casket is lowered into a burial vault before being covered with soil.

After the burial is complete, a temporary marker is placed until your permanent memorial is ready. Permanent markers are made from granite or bronze and can be engraved with your pet's name, photo, or a short message. The marker is installed within a few weeks, and you will be notified when it is in place.

The cemetery is open daily during daylight hours, and you are welcome to bring flowers, decorations, or small tokens to place at your pet's grave. Memory Gardens For Pets maintains the grounds, including mowing, trimming, and seasonal planting, so the area remains clean and accessible. Burial vaults are required to prevent ground settling and protect the integrity of the site over time.

What Families Want to Know Before Burial

Choosing burial means committing to a permanent location, and it helps to understand what that involves and what your options are before making a decision.

What is a burial vault and why is it required?
A burial vault is a protective outer container that surrounds the casket. It prevents the ground from sinking over time and protects your pet's casket from moisture, soil pressure, and wildlife.
How do I choose a plot location?
You can walk the cemetery grounds with staff and select a plot based on shade, proximity to pathways, or personal preference. Plots are marked and mapped so you always know the exact location.

What happens if I move away from Watkinsville?

Your pet's grave remains in place and is maintained as part of the perpetual care program. You can visit anytime, and future family members or friends can also access the site.
How long does it take to complete a burial?
Most burials are completed within two to three days after arrangements are made. If you need expedited service or want to schedule a specific date, Memory Gardens For Pets will accommodate your request.
What types of markers are available?
