Burial and cremation are not an option. I live in an apartment complex and they said if I do it I'm out. There is nowhere around here to get him cremated.

Sorry for your loss.
Sometimes vets can organise cremation, have you tried asking your vet?
Alternatively, some people bury their piggies in a plant pot, with flowers on top. Do you have a balcony with your apartment on which you could put a plant pot or two?

Where I live we have a pet crematorium, well in Wildwood, it has been there for decades, I haven’t been on the island in a while so it maybe gone, Wildwood is good for tearing buildings down for condos that go unoccupied for years, I am so sorry for your loss, sending positive vibes and hugs your way

I'm so sorry for the loss of your piggy.
Do you have a friend or relative's garden you could bury him in?

Do you live near a woodland or countryside? A quiet place away in nature is an option if you are out of others. Alternatively, some vets will sometimes add a little body along with another pet if that pets owner is not going to receive the ashes back
I have two large pots for my old boys, which are in the back garden
I am so sorry

So sorry for your loss.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve
I buried mine in a plant pot if that’s a possibility for you.

I would ask your vet as they will probably have links with a pet crematorium. I no longer have a garden with any soil borders so our most recent losses have been buried in a very large planter. That could be an option for you. I am sorry for your loss.
