Well at least they will have something to eat.

@Surfpirate hmmm you're right! Cremation maybe? They can accompany me on my funeral pyre/viking ship (whichever option my funds will support!

@Pete66 5 gallons of gas, an old refrigerator box and a match, sounds pretty affordable to me.

@Surfpirate not classy enough though!

@Pete66 What do you care, you'll be fucking dead.

@Surfpirate have to keep up standards no matter what, old chap!

There are people who have it stated that their pets are to be PTS should they die first.
For years I didn't understand this logic AT ALL. THEN a neighbor friend's mother was run over & killed while walking her sheltie, the sheltie lived. Well the family was HORRIBLE to her dog! They finally dumped it in a shelter.

E.g. There is a famous doberman from the 60s that was PTS after his owner died. It sickened me hearing the story that anyone would do that, but after what I saw happen to that poor sheltie at the hands of people the woman loved & trusted, I understood why. So the dog was never to fall into the hands of someone who would mistreat it.
