pet cemetery
Companion burial ground
A pet cemetery is a burial ground for deceased companion animals—dogs, cats, and other pets.
Some are informal plots on private property; others are commercial operations offering grave sites, markers, and memorial services.
The phrase gained cultural resonance from Stephen King's 1983 novel *Pet Sematary*, whose misspelled title evokes a child's handmade sign.
