I got a letter from a pet cemetery company today. It’s been another year since the passing of one of my cats, so I have to pay 10,000 yen for the memorial service.
When the cat died, I paid them 16,000 yen to them to cremate it. (Actually, the cats are my mother’s, but I have to pay for them.) After that, the company gives yearly notices for the memorial service.
If I lived in the countryside, I would have enough land to use some of it as a pet cemetary. But here in Kawasaki space is at a premium, so we call a pet cemetery company when our pets pass away.
I used the company twice, so I have to pay 20,000 yen every year. Isn’t it too expensive when I still have one of my mother's cats? The cat's name is Chihsuke, and it is very cute.
How does this work in your town/city?
Thank you!

I suppose my first question would be "What could they do if you don't pay? Would they dig up the remains and leave at your front door in the middle of the night?" But that is from the perspective of a person who is living in a country that has plenty of open space, so it's probably the wrong thought.
As for the composition of the post, there's quite a lot of information that only needs some rearranging and editing to read naturally and communicate the many concepts you want the reader to understand. It will come with time and practice, and I'm sure you will be successful.
Keep writing and gaining experience, Yuri. It will be a rewarded effort!
