While some wives say they don’t want to be buried in the same grave with their husbands, more and more people are saying that they want to be buried with a beloved pet. Around 90% of Japanese people have Buddhist funerals and many temples turn down these last wishes because they go against the teachings of Buddhism. On the other hand, the number of pet cemeteries is increasing. Though the demand is increasing, very few cemeteries allow owners to be buried with their pets.
