Owners find relief in giving dead pets a proper send-off

Taiyuan company holds special funeral services for dead animals

When He Jie started raising a Russian Blue cat named Shier, or twelve in Mandarin, he wondered what he should do if the cat died. Then in 2016, an idea occurred to him to do pet funerals.

"I went to Beijing and did my research, then made preparations to start the company," said the 29-yearold, who is now a pet mortician.
