It can be challenging to say goodbye to a pet. They are often part of the family, and seeing them go challenging for everyone involved. Some ways people choose to memorialize their pets include getting urns, making headstones, or even planting trees in their honor. Each of these ways has something special about it that makes it worth considering.
Ways to memorialize a pet:
- Getting an urn: this is a great way to keep your pet’s ashes close by. You can put the urn in any space you want, including it on display for all who come through your home to see and remember their friend. The key here is finding ways to make sure it fits what will be aesthetically pleasing and feels like a proper memorialization of their life. This might include artwork or photos of them around the area where the urn will live, so they are always remembered when people visit this part of your house.
- Making headstones: if you would rather have something more solid than just keeping their ashes in an urn, then making headstones could be another option for memorializing a pet. This can be done in various ways, from handcrafting it yourself to just purchasing one that you find at the store and putting their name on it as well as an engraving about them or anything else special for your memorialization project.
Keeping something they have left behind: if you want to go even more specific, another option is keeping some items that they regularly use to keep them with the family. For example, this could be their items like beds or toys they’ve slept in or played with over time. When people come into contact with these objects, memories are attached to each thing rather than having everything feel empty without them physically being here anymore.
