Although pet graveyards are commonplace, two human cemeteries in Milwaukee and Waukesha are considering adding an area for dead pets to R.I.P., the Milwaukee Sentinel reports. Advertisement Humans and pets would not be buried together but in separate, segregated plots. The pets would be put in otherwise unusable parts of the cemeteries. Not all cemeteries are in favor of having pets and humans on the same grounds. Tom Champa, director of Catholic cemeteries for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee, said the church would never do such a thing. "I'd say our cemeteries are for the human spirit, not the pet spirit," Champa said. Marianne Anderson, a cemetery representative for one of the burial grounds that offers the pet service said that she was quite surprised that the pet areas were received so well when they opened in September 2005.
