Right across from a naturally occuring spring at Congressional Cemetery in Southeast, landscapers are readying the first plots for pets. The “Kingdom of Animals,” as the new section will be called, is slated to open by the end of June.

It will be the first cemetery for pets in the District of Columbia, according to Paul Williams, the president of Congressional Cemetery.

“I know there’s a lot of interest in pet cemeteries. People want a place to put their urn … to come and remember their pet,” Williams says. “And there are none in D.C. It’s a nice service. It’ll be an option for people when they lose a pet instead of putting [the urn] on their shelf or in their closet.”

Congressional Cemetery is a particularly fitting location. It has long played host to a private program, the “K9 Corps,” that allows more than 700 pups to romp freely off leash on the property.

Williams says that there will be special places reserved in the Kingdom of Animals for K9 Corps dogs, but others will be available to anyone who wishes to buy them.

The plots will be on the eastern edge of the cemetery, right in view of the spring, where dogs who visit the cemetery as part of the K9 Corps often splash in the water (the spring is nicknamed the “doggy day spa”). Only cremated remains will be interred in the pet cemetery, Williams says, and there will be a few different options for plots.

They’ll start the pet cemetery, which was first reported on by The Washington Post, with 300 burial sites (each has room for about 20 pets). Pet owners can purchase an entire site for $1450, which includes a flat marker with an engraved inscription. But if that’s too much space or money, you can also purchase a space on one of the “community columns,” an obelisk where up to 40 pets can fit. The pets’ names will be engraved on the obelisk, and there will be a vault space at the base of the column where people can place the urn. A space in the column runs $500, Williams says.

And if your pet isn’t of the furry, barking variety, Williams says you should fret not: Any pet you loved and lost is welcome—scaly, feathery, and furry alike.
