The law does not allow for the building of cemeteries for animals, Resources Minister George Pullicino said in reply to a parliamentary question, quoting council regulation 1069/2009

The only way to develop a cemetery for animals is to have an incinerator, with the ashes then being buried.

An owner may bury a dead pet on his property as long as this is only occasional.
