Hi over there,
I am Tim Fredriksson from Sweden. Me and my family are planing a trip to California and of course we want to visit the beautiful nationalpark of Yosemite.

One of our main goals with our trip to Yosemite is to bury the remains of our beloved dog (a charming border collie named Wilsson). In his 12 year long life Wilsson loved the nature and we know that he will find peace in a really scenic place. So, do you have any specific spots in the park you recomemend for this purpose?

A great thanks in advance,
Tim Fredriksson with family

PS. If it will cost extra to bury Wilsson we will gladly pay for this, but it would be great then if you could borrow us a shovel.

I’m sorry, burying pets isn’t allowed in Yosemite. Pet burials are regulated elsewhere in California, as well. If you’d really like to bury your pet in California, you might try to contact a California Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) or a California veterinarian for advice on where you can bury Wilsson.
