A grave for your pet should be deep enough that other burrowing or digging animals can't reach the remains. This is generally regarded as about three feet (The top of the coffin, box etc. should be three feet below the surface, add the height of the box to the depth of the grave.) If you can't dig that deep, a carn of stones covering the grave is often used. I've seen it suggested that you mark off the corners of the grave site with woden stakes, so you don't dig more or less then necessary. A pick as well as a shovel is recommended, and some way of making measurements is a good idea.

Anything dead that is being buried, should be buried no less than 5 feet under, to avoid being dug up by another animal.
