Celebrating the Life of your Pet
Our Top 10 Ways to Remember and Memorialise
Ritual is important when you experience loss. Many families find it helpful to celebrate and honour the life of their pet. We hope that these ideas to honour their life will help you to keep their memory alive in your hearts. By emphasising the happy experiences you shared together, it will help your heart through the healing process.
- Hold a 'Celebration of Life' event where you and your loved one's favourite people gather to honour them and share stories and memories.
- Create an area in your home dedicated to your loved one with photos, favourite toys and things that remind you of them.
- Create a memory box with all of your loved one's favourite things; toys, blankets, treats and photos so when you miss them the most you can open it up, and it will bring back memories that you shared together.
- Have a felted replica made of your beloved pet.
- Pet memorial jewellery. There are many different options for pet jewellery. This is an excellent way to keep your pet's memory close to you at all time.
- Wind chimes & stones. If your pet loved the outdoors or a specific spot in your garden this is a great way to keep there memory in their favourite place.
- Plant a tree in their memory. Visit it as often as you need, smell its aroma, and sit underneath it, and you will be reminded of your very missed friend.
- Have a professional portrait done of them.
- Make a donation to an animal shelter or organisation in your pets name.
- Write a letter to your pet to be buried or cremated with them. Tell them how much they mean to you and how much you love them. If your pet's passing was due to a difficult decision like pet euthanasia, you can find comfort in knowing that you gave them the best care and love until the very end.
