Honouring your pet's memory with a loving memorial


When a loved one dies, the grieving process is an essential part of relieving pain and restoring emotional strength. We all cope with grief in our own way and how we choose mourn is very personal. The pain felt after the loss of a beloved pet should never be underestimated and many find that in holding a simple memorial service comes peace. 


When a pet reaches the end of their life's journey, making a decision on how to best honour their time with you may be overwhelming, especially if their passing has been sudden and unexpected. Unlike humans, they are unable to express their wishes and we are left with the responsibility of showing the respect they deserve. You may feel that a pet memorial is appropriate, marking a special spot you have chosen for their resting place.

At Pets Remembered, you are always welcome to talk through your feelings and to ask for guidance before you make your final choice. There can be comfort in preserving the ashes in a beautiful pet urn for example, where your companion will continue to be close to you. Friends or family who have never owned a pet can find it difficult to understand the depth of your loss, but by inviting them to share in a loving ceremony, they may well appreciate how much your pet meant to you and offer their support.


It can also help to write your feelings down in words that express the memories you have shared with your pet and how much joy your time together has brought you. This can then be included in the pet casket, together with a special toy or keepsake and the pet memorial plaque inscribed with their name and an appropriate message or verse. Openly mourning and visually expressing your feelings is a positive response to loss, enabling you to adapt to life without the physical presence of your beloved pet companion, while ensuring they remain in your heart forever.

When the life of a beloved pet comes to an end and they are no longer physically with us, the feeling of grief can be overwhelming. As pet owners ourselves, at Pets Remembered we can relate to the strength of the bond which has been forged between you and how bleak the future may seem without their presence. During this time of mourning it's also important to focus on the good times you have spent together and the comfort that precious memories can bring.   Adjusting to a new routine can be challenging, especially if previous habits have centred around social activities with fellow pet owners, such as daily walks or time shared together with your faithful furry companions. Following the loss of a pet, you may feel excluded at a time when you are most in need of understanding and support.  Memorialising a pet provides the opportunity for friends and other members of your family to join in a celebration of your pet's life and to express their condolences in their...

We should never underestimate how much love there is for a pet or how great the sadness is when their life comes to an end. These faithful animal companions who have given unconditional love, will have formed an intense bond with their owners often over many years and been considered as a member of the family.
