A bill seeking to allow cemeteries to allocate areas where pets can be buried alongside their owners is expected to return to the California State Senate for discussion in the coming weeks. The legislative session resumed after summer recess Aug. 14.

The bill was authored after more and more pet owners sought to be buried with their pets to express their affection, according to its author Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin (D-Thousand Oaks.)
