A Full-Service Funeral Home for Pets (15 photos)

In Belgium, Reuters photographer Yves Herman recently visited Animatrans, a funeral home that claims to be the first in Belgium designed exclusively for pets. Animatrans handles a number of arrangements for pets that have passed on, from funerals and burial, to death masks and taxidermy—for customers who seek a more tangible reminder of their beloved companions.
