Seodaemun-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Seongheon) announced on the 11th that it recently signed a business agreement with Joheunnara Pet Peace Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Misook) for a ‘Free Funeral Support Project for Companion Dogs’ targeting district residents.

Residents who have registered their animals before the agreement date of the 9th of this month and have their resident registration in Seodaemun-gu can apply after signing up as members for the ‘Free Support Project’ on the Joheunnara Pet Peace website.

When applying for the funeral service, applicants can receive a full funeral service package worth approximately 500,000 KRW from Joheunnara Pet Peace, including a memorial ceremony, individual cremation, washing, dressing, encoffining, and a white ceramic urn. The support period is one year until April 8 of next year, and applications can be made after a 90-day grace period.

Seodaemun-gu initiated this project to respect animal life and establish a proper funeral culture for companion dogs. Currently, animal carcasses are treated as household waste under the Waste Management Act.

Meanwhile, Seodaemun-gu plans to open the ‘Seodaemun Naepumae (愛) Center’ (333 Moraenae-ro) on the 17th of this month, which will provide one-stop services related to companion animals.
