Are pets allowed to be buried with humans?

There are several regions in Italy where co-burial of humans and animals is permitted. Among the regions that allow you to bury the ashes of your pet in family tombs there are Piedmont, Abruzzo and Liguria.
Even in the municipality of Milan it is possible to bury the ashes of pets in city cemeteries, within the burial where the owner is already present.
This is an important turning point, because in the rest of Italy the burial of animal remains is prohibited in cemeteries and pets can be buried exclusively in pet cemeteries or, in some cases, in the owner's garden.
Finally, our beloved friends will be able to stay with us forever.
