There are many different kinds of pet memorials, and finding the right one to suit both you and your deceased pet's personality can be a daunting chore. It's hard enough to lose a pet, and finding the right way to remember him can be just as difficult. With the following list of pet memorial ideas, however, the difficult decision of how to pay tribute to your pet can become a bit easier.
Paying Tribute to Beloved Pets:
1. Pet urns: Cremation is a popular option for many who lose a pet, and veterinary offices often offer this service at a small fee. This allows family members to keep, bury or scatter the ashes of their pet who has passed away. Choosing a pet urn that represents who your pet was in life is a personal matter that takes a lot of thought and consideration. You may want to choose an urn with a picture frame on the front where you can display a picture of the pet. You could also choose a decorative urn with an animal motif or a statuette urn to resemble the form of your pet in life.
2. Pet headstones: Depending on the restrictions of the city or county you live in, the burial of pets in your back yard may or may not be possible. Many cities, however, have pet cemeteries, or you could place a headstone in your back yard as a memorial only. Whether in a pet cemetery or your yard, a pet headstone is beautiful way to remember your pet. There are many styles of headstones to choose from, so choosing one that captures the spirit of your beloved pet is important.
3. Garden decorations: Garden decorations are another way to keep the memory of your pet close if you are unable to bury the remains in your yard. A statuette or engraved stepping stone will only make your garden more beautiful and will give you a daily reminder of the wonderful life your pet lead.
4. Home decorations: A small statuette or picture frame with a photo of your deceased pet can help you keep his memory close to you. By keeping memorials of your pet around your home, you'll be reminded of the wonderful life your pet lead and the companionship he brought to you. A pet-themed picture frame pays special tribute to your animal and is a considerate gift for others who are going through the hard loss of a pet in their own lives.
