The District’s first pet cemetery will soon open at a historic graveyard.
Diane R. Johnson and her poodle, Calliope, walk among the monuments during Day of the Dog at Congressional Cemetery, where she hopes to be the first to have a spot at the site’s new pet section to bury the ashes of Kirby, her Labrador, who died in July. By Clarence Williams Clarence Williams Local reporter covering crime, breaking news, and public safety issues Email Bio Follow May 14 at 2:28 PM By her own admission, Diane R. Johnson spoiled her first dog.
Soon, Johnson will be able to have Kirby’s remains remain forever at Congressional, as the cemetery plans to open the District’s first pet burial site in coming weeks.The Kingdom of Animals section will be available for the furry, the scaly, the four-legged and the fliers. The club revived the cemetery after decades of neglect and nocturnal activity by drug users and prostitutes.
Prices will range from $500 to $1,500 for burials, inscriptions on the shared stone columns or the pricier individual flat engraved markers. On the first day, 10 people signed up, Williams said.Stephen Brennwald, a volunteer cemetery board member for the past five years, said the decision to open a section for pets was “a no-brainer” because the dog-walking community has been so vital to the restoration and upkeep of the grounds and invigorates the space.
