Sorry, “memoriam”. Wish this stupid site would let one edit.

Could’ve been; was just wondering if it was simply a memorial “to the memory” of the dog. At least in the past, that was the way you indicated it was just a memorial, not a burial.

Is that true? I just took In memoriam to be one of several phrases used to show respect to the dead--I didn't think it meant that the dead person is not actually buried at this spot. Obviously it is also used in other situations, such as an association listing the names of recently deceased members in a magazine.
