It's not the trespassing, it's not it's illegal to be there.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
No, but you know that.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
But the biggest problem she's having is insane.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
What is your biggest problem?

Speaker 1 (00:16):
A person who tried to bury their cat at night
in the cemetery without permission?

Speaker 2 (00:23):
You can't do that?

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Oh my god?

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Oh is that why she installed the extra cameras. Oh well,
that person's breaking the law because they can't be in
there at night.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Okay, So somebody's out there with like a cat in
a bag and then a shovel and just picking a
spot at random and being like, oh, well, here's a good.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
That is that a thing? Forget being there at night?
Do people try to bury pets in these cemeteries?

Speaker 2 (00:51):
No?

Speaker 5 (00:51):
Without paying for it? No, that guy did. Okay, well, Diane,
that holy crap. No wonder there the subject of so
many horse stories.

Speaker 6 (01:01):
See.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
No, I bet that's not a problem. I bet that's
not a problem.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
If you don't want to pay. I could totally see
somebody going in at night when they think, oh, nobody
will be here. I'll be able to do this real
quick and get.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
A cemetery and bury the animal. Not me, But you
don't get it. Did they were they going to put
up a headstone? It does not say, or were they
just looking to bury it there?

Speaker 7 (01:28):
Maybe they just wanted a spot to bury it.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, you can't put up a headstone, they'll know.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Wow. Wow, Well that explains why she's putting extra cameras in.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
You think, geez, unbelievable. Is this shot of her with
surveillance footage in the background.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Is yeah, that's her in front of the guy who
was trying to bury the animal? Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
You didn't even know that was happening? The say again,
I don't know if that's not her, No, but I
didn't know if if that's just somebody I don't on
the grounds, or if that's the person.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
I can tell you over the guy's shoulder. It's dark out,
so that guy's breaking the law.

Speaker 7 (02:04):
He looks like he just figured out there's a camera.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Whoa How How popular are pet cemeteries?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I bet there's a ton of them, Like how many
are there?

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Christian?

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Will you give me a favor?

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Will you see if you can find me somebody who
knows anything about pet cemeteries? Please? Please? It must be
eight sixty six to Elliott eight six six two three
five five four six eight, say.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
It must be a nice one, this pet memorial parks.
If somebody really really wants to make it their pet's
final resting place.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
I know people who are just trying to bury their
own animals there. It's so nice.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
I hope you're right.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I hope that there's no way these people who call
it we would try to just take an animal to
any pet cemetery and just bury it there.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Anyway we've tried to go to memorial parks, that would
be I mean it is very nice.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
I mean she even talks about it's very picturesque.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
But no nobody tries to do that.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
That would be like if if Diane passed away, I
just take her to a cemetery and try to bury
her something.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Suddenly the human who just brought up an animal?

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Am I going to line one? Hi Elliott in the.

Speaker 8 (03:27):
Morning, Hey Elliott, I have a pet cemetery in my
wife's closet.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Oh wait, so that's where you keep all the dead animals.

Speaker 8 (03:39):
Yes, their probably got about I don't know half educing
cats in there right.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Well, they're obviously their ashes. You had them cremated, and
you have their ashes.

Speaker 8 (03:48):
I hope so, but yeah, we got most of them
in there.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, what are you going to do?

Speaker 8 (03:55):
I don't know. Probably at the end of my life,
I think probably just go ahead and put us all
together and go out with the shotgun.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
Blast there you go. You know what.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Good on you, Good on you.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
You know what I think? Thank you, sir. That's gotta be.
That does have you thinking a little bit like we have.
We have our old animals that are that have been cremated. Yeah,
why I'm not gonna do anything with it.

Speaker 7 (04:17):
I mean we've we've done that, but we didn't keep
the ashes.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
No you yeah, you cremated. Yeah, and then they just
kind of just right. I mean, I don't know. I
think I could tell you garbage. No, I'm being serious.

Speaker 7 (04:29):
Or do they scatter them like in a.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
No they don't. No, A company comes by like essentially
a vacuum, yeah, and they take them away. But we
have our animals ashes. I don't do it. They're not
on display. We don't do anything with them.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
I've told you that my dog is on display.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, and one day No, but I mean that's nice.
Yours is on display.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Mine is not like at some point we're gonna move,
Not like now, but in our life we'll move and go.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
What are we doing with these? It will schlap them
to another house?

Speaker 7 (04:55):
Yeah, but then you could scatter them somewhere.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, right in front of the house, so that they
don't have to get put in the U hole.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
So I am happy to report I don't see many
stories about the illegal burying of animals at pet cemeteries.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Didn't get caught.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
But you know what does seem to be a problem.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
People bearing in their backyards.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
No, No, and we've talked about people who do that, right, No,
it's pet cemeteries may be a rough industry in terms
of the economics of it.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
But I was going to say, I feel like, no,
who use a pet cemetery?

Speaker 1 (05:32):
So many have closed and gone out of business, and
they give you thirty days to exhume your pet? No, No,
what do you mean, nod? Why do you have Why
do why I have to exume it?

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Wait, they give me thirty days if I want to,
or that animal has to be exhumed if you want to.
When they go, when they go out of business, what
happens to the what happens to the cemetery.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Like I unders stand that if a big say like.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
If a human cemetery went out of business, like there's
a lot of bodies there in coffins and stuff like that,
if a pet cemetery goes under, you know, an apartment
building's coming.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
This in December, these frustrated pets it up. These frustrated
pet owners found their burial areas bulldozed. So that's what
happens if you don't do it in the time period.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
So they just chuck them up.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Just days before Thanksgiving, they put flowers on that plot.
Now they see it as space for development.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, apartment building line too.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Hi, Elliott the morning, Good morning.

Speaker 8 (06:43):
How are you.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
I am well, thank you, how are you great?

Speaker 9 (06:47):
My name's Antonio. I'm one of the sales managers.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
At Park one Memorial Park, right.

Speaker 9 (06:52):
And I'm with my office manager.

Speaker 7 (06:57):
Hi.

Speaker 9 (06:58):
Hi, we were I drop all of you.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
I love you too, I love you too. All right, yes,
go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 9 (07:06):
We were just enjoying the snow, looking at the serenity
and the cemetery, and then I heard cemetery on the
radio and got excited. So we had to call in,
especially since we have a pet cemetery here. We had
some interesting stories regarding our pet cemetery since you're talking
about people coming in the middle of the night and
dropping things off.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
So wait a minute. First, tell me nobody has ever
come in the middle of the night and tried to
bury their own pet there.

Speaker 9 (07:33):
Not that, but we have had people drop off their
pet eurns in our cemetery on top of their loved
ones grave because we're a pet cemetery and as you
put in, a human cemetery, So we have people just
drop off their pet eurns and leave them there thinking
that they're not going to go missing. But it's a
concern for us because if people are if we're doing

(07:53):
the lawn care or something, we don't want to be
whacking someone's earn for their pets. So we're usually trying
to figure out who drops them off so we can
return them to their loved ones.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Wait a minute, so do they do they put it?

Speaker 6 (08:04):
Well?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Can I back up a step, like, I think I
think it's I think it's cute that the two of
you made fun of me. Why is it not called
the human cemetery?

Speaker 9 (08:16):
We just haven't specifically heard that terminology. Usually just.

Speaker 6 (08:24):
We have a pet human.

Speaker 9 (08:26):
We don't have an alien section.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Okay, very good, thanks thanks. Hey, So wait, so when
these people drop off their pets, are they putting the
urn like on their family member's headstone or do they
just leave it and go bury it?

Speaker 9 (08:40):
No, they'll just leave their pet urns there. And I mean,
I'm sure people have tried to bury their pet urns
on their loved one's graves. Because when we're doing burials
for a casket, we actually have people who will just
try to sneak in and earn into the ground when
we're not looking, and we have to say, you know,
like you really can't have pets with people in the cemetery.

(09:03):
So it is an interesting phenomenon. It happens a lot.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
The is the pet cemetery. Obviously you you guys make
big money on the on the on the cemetery. The
but is the pet cemetery a decent business? Like are there?

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Do you have a lot of animals that are buried there?

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (09:21):
We have none of the hundred we have. We have
people who have entire generations of pets that are buried here.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh we do have a horse.

Speaker 9 (09:31):
We have a couple of horses actually from the original
owners of the land before it was a cemetery. They
buried their horses here. Wow, will bury any pet and
we do offer payment plans like them for your range
for your pets. If you're a big pet owner.

Speaker 8 (09:46):
And a pet human section, we do have a section
you can do both together.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
That's awesome. Oh that's good. All right, very good. I
found you too, very delightful. I appreciate it. Thank you, ma'am.

Speaker 9 (09:56):
Well, can I tell you one thing?

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, go ahead, there is literally time here that lom
you all.

Speaker 9 (10:04):
Yeah. One of our boys just ran in because he
heard usself the no.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well that's well, Hi, you know what. Let me get
you guys some shirts. Will you wear them during services?

Speaker 6 (10:14):

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Girl only only at the Minora Gardens.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Send us pictures, all right, hold tight, one sect.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Let me get you guys a bunch of shirts. Hold
on one second now, and don't be angry. They're not
professional broadcasters like they talked over each other a little bit.
They're not like like us, where it's one and then
one and then one.

Speaker 6 (10:35):
Right.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
I love them.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Oh they're great. Yeah, they're great.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
They probably are are less jokey when you're calling to
make arrangement.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, everybody's got to have a little levity in their day.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Oh it was perfect for inclusion in this conversation.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, no, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Where am I going? Line three? Hi, elliot in the morning.

Speaker 6 (10:59):
Hey, I'm not gonna say my name. Okay, make a
long story short. My brother passed.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Away and my dad's.

Speaker 6 (11:10):
Name was put on his tombstone because he wanted to
be buried his feet because he was going to get cremated. Well,
that day came and he was cremated, and it was
time to put him in the ground. So went to
Walmart and bought a flower. What's the cemetery during the
day and tired up the gas powered post hold digger

(11:32):
could take a hole for the fire, which the fire
never went in the ground, His earn went in the ground.
So I buried a person in the cemetery in the
middle of the day. The only problem was the only
problem was the hole was round and the erne square.

(11:57):
He had to have a little push.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
So wait a minute, is the cemetery was was like.

Speaker 7 (12:07):
Nope, you're like double dipping.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
No, no, but you're allowed to go out there at
dig holes.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
I meant no, I understand that you were doing it
to bury the urn, but you could go out there
and bury and plant like a flowers or something like that.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
That doesn't seem right.

Speaker 6 (12:23):
In this particular cemetery. Yes, you're allowed to have flowers
and and and everything. And and uh I bought my
brother passed away. I bought like four lots and uh
so now my mother, my dad, and my brother are
all there, and I have it lined with bricks with
uh weed stop so the grass people when they're cutting

(12:45):
the grass, they can just drive right around the trim
and and there's like, you know, some nice rubber bulks
in there.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Literally nice, dude, you've gone all out. When I die,
I may have you do some designing for me. That's
pretty good, all right, very good. I appreciate it, Thank you, sir,
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Hey he was laughing too.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
Yeah, he's got his stuff all taken care of.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
The giggles coming some morbid sense of humor.
