Coping with the loss of a furry friend.

After the loss of a pet, many people find ways to remember their beloved pet in a meaningful way, above and beyond a funeral service or celebration of life.


Below are some ideas for pet memorials to honor your friend and continue your healing journey.

  • Make a Memorial Stone. One of the most popular pet memorials is a unique and meaningful memorial stone for your yard. An emotional way to remember your pet is to paint and decorate a rock with their name and dates.
  • Photo Tribute. Put together a photo album or a digital slideshow of your pet’s best moments. This can help you feel better as you remember how much they improved your life.
  • Plant a Memorial Garden. Honor your pet by planting a tree or flowers that will grow over time.
  • Write a Letter or Poem to Your Pet. You can share your thoughts and feelings with your pet in a letter or poem. Writing about your feelings can help you deal with your loss.
  • Memory Jar. Put notes from family and friends about your pet in a memory jar. Each note should include a special memory or story about your pet. This can help you feel better as you remember how much love and joy your pet brought into your life.
  • Dedicate a Day of Service. To honor the memory of your pet, take a day to volunteer at an animal shelter or rescue group in your area.

We believe there are countless ways to remember your pet. These ideas will ensure your beloved friend is remembered and honored in a way that shows how much you loved them.
