My little ferret, Sokx, just passed away last night :( can ferrets go to Heaven?

Question

On Sunday, three days ago, I found out my baby Sokx had cancer and I felt so stupid like I should have realized it sooner.  I mean, he was super skinny and just real tired and lazy all the time.  When I think back on it now, I feel like I should have noticed this sooner:(  I finally took him to the emergency vet clinic on Sunday and they told me he had a mass tumor in his tummy and it was lymph cancer:( They wanted to keep him over night but I didn't have $750 since I'm student teaching and not working at all I literally have no money:( They sent me away with a script that a vet was going to send me via mail.  I was supposed to get the antibiotics today but he passed away last night in my arms:( I cried so so hard and didn't want to put him away but now all I can think about is what I did wrong.  I should have realized this sooner then he might still be with me :( I feel horrible and what's worse is what if I did leave him over night in the E.R for $750?  Would he still be alive?  There are so many things I feel that I've done wrong and now Idk what to do.  Someone once told me that animals don't go to heaven :( and now I'm forced to have to think about where he is and I hope with all the faith I have and am trying to gain, that he is in Heaven awaiting the day we can play together again.  So my first question is, do ferrets go to Heaven?  Will I see my baby, my best friend again?  and... someone also told me if you cremate a living being that makes that being's soul impure and they will not go to Heaven because of that...is this true?  I always figured I would want to be cremated but as I was holding his little loving body last night, when I realized he had finally gone, it made me wonder if burning such a loving creature was the right thing to do... and on the other hand... burying him underground in a lonely dark little inescapable box doesn't seem right either... my mom says I have to figure out what I want to do today or my other two ferrets will get sick... PLEASE PLEASE HELP PLEASE answer me these questions I love him so much and I know he only passed last night but idk how I'm going to get through this, this is the first time I lost someone I care about/ love so much... what should I do...? :(

People make up so much nonsense that it's no wonder you're confused. The spirit, the soul, the life force that made your ferret who he was does not die. He is just done with his physical body. It does not matter whether you cremate or bury his body; it is not him anymore.

There's a great book I believe can help anyone who is mourning for a deceased pet. It's called Animals In Spirit by Penelope Smith. I put a link to the amazon page below.

RAINBOW BRIDGE



Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies who has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
