Of course you were so attached to him... your kids were!
I remember my little girls being so sad when their fish died. One night one of them left a note for the tooth fairy, "This is the worst day of my life. My tooth really hurt coming out and my fish died!" When I read that, my eyes filled at the thought of her grieving so.

I'm sorry to hear about Krusty!! It is hard to lose any pet, regardless of the type.
When I was little my grandma would buy me 25 cent feeder goldfish for my fish bowl. Every time one would die I would put it in a small box (usually a white one that jewelry would come in) and bury it in my Great-Grandma's flower garden.
The same Grandma lives on a lot of property out in the country with a large wooded area. We bury our lost pets in her woods. She lost her beloved horse last fall. He was 36 years old!!!!!!!!! Ancient for a horse!! She actually rented a back-hoe and buried him in the horse field.
It goes to show it doesn't matter how big or how small our pets are for us to care about them deeply and to mourn their loss.
Best Wishes to you and your children!!

No, we didn't have a funeral for him. We kept his shell in his memory. Maybe someday another of our crabs will call it home. This one was actually the shell we'd brought the "other" crab (Krunchy) home in. He died after about 6 months and Krusty took his (or her??) shell. So, Krusty will live on in our memories especially when we see the shell in the crab bowl.
I used to bury pets in a flower garden that had a picket fence around it my husband built for me. Everyone always asked me if it was a graveyard anyway bc of the fence...
Everytime I get something going, there was always dozer work or something being built. I barely have flower beds anymore. I've gotten a few started over the past couple of years since we've been in our house. I'd like to plant a dogwood tree where Lady is buried. (She's our dog we lost last year).
Pet Sematary, the book, has now come to my mind.
