Somehow both my spouse and I became our respective family's reliquary keepers, and we both are the end of our bloodlines. To ensure our pets are never lost, whoever dies first gets to take the pets ashes with them!
For the painting I'll see if the family who bought the ranch wants to hang it in one of the barns, or if the stockyard wants it - they've got a lot of western paraphernalia and no small number of the horse's progeny was auctioned through there.

My grandmother commissioned a painting of her favorite horse when he died. It's been passed down the family for about 50 years now. I'm the youngest one in the family to have a connection to that horse, so I guess the painting gets buried with me :)

Ooh! My wife and I donated our polydactyl cat to a bone/skeleton museum where they articulated her and put her on display! We can hop to the next city over and see her (almost) whenever we want!

Oh snap. I saw a post about a pigeon with these symptoms a few weeks ago.
