The time when we have to say goodbye to one of our four legged family friends is one of the most difficult that we all have to face.  This page is only to offer suggestions in different ways you can remember your special friend.

Glass Memorials

www.petcremainsinglass.com/index.html

Our memorials come in recycled and non-recycled glass. The non recycled tributes can be made from our list of Jewell tone Colors:

Our recycled glass counterparts are all made in emerald green from 100% post consumer recycled glass from beer and wine bottles. Both product lines are equally beautiful and are a great way to memorialize a loved one.

How Our Memorial Keepsakes Are Made

All our memorial keepsakes are hand blown and sculpted in the U.S. by artists and hand signed. Molten glass is at temperatures over 2000 degrees which is a higher temperature then most cremation. When the glass is molten we incorporate your ashes carefully into the glass just like we would with glass color. Since glass is at a higher temperature then the ashes, the carbon is burned off and the ashes turn a brilliant white color in the glass.
 
After your hand blown sculpture is made we put it into an annealer where it will slowly cool back to room temperature over a twelve to forty eight hour period depending on the size of your pet memorial tribute.

Memorial Gift Trees

www.thecomfortcompany.net/Memorial-Sympathy-Gift-Trees.aspx

Our boxed gift trees are perfect to send for any occasion (weddings, birthdays, etc). However, they are especially comforting when sent as a gift to honor a life.

The memorial gift trees are approximately 8" to 14" in height, 2 to 3 years old, and arrive in a container that is approximately 3" X 5 1/2 with detailed care and planting instructions. Your choice of tree is hand selected, placed into a decorative box, tied with a raffia bow, blanketed in tissue paper and finally, nestled in a white shipping box.

During the summer months, we prefer to ship our tree gifts Mon. thru Wednesday to insure freshness.

A Message from Pet Heaven -

ABOUT A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PET AND A MESSAGE FROM PET HEAVEN
MY NAME IS PHYLLIS AND I LOVE ANIMALS!

MY BEST FRIEND IN THE WORLD IS BABE, MY JACK RUSSELL TERRIER.

Some time ago, I had a friend who had lost her father.
Shortly after, she and her husband noticed their dog, Major of three years was having difficulty in holding up his head.
After seeking intense medical treatment and surgeries, the prognosis was not good and Major could not be saved.
Between the loss of her father and the loss of their dog Major, life was very difficult for her.
I looked for the “just right” sympathy card for her and could not find one.


I decided to write a sympathy letter to her and write it “as” if Major was writing to her from Pet Heaven.
The letter described Major’s journey into Pet Heaven….including the arrival, greetings from Pet Heaven, thankful for the kind care and Major’s future plans. It was very positive, uplifting and we added a hint of humor.
She was touched by the letter.
From time to time I would write Pet Sympathy Letters to friends who had lost their pets, including all types of pets and breeds.
My Jack Russell Terrier, Babe lost her best friend, a 15 year old Apricot Poodle named Pebbles in September, 2008. Babe was grieving for her and so were her mom and dad. I wrote a Pet Sympathy Letter to the Pebbles mom and dad.  I was encouraged by Patti (Pebbles mom) and my friends to start a Pet Letter Writing Service. After years of providing this service, we actually started this business in 2008.
On a more positive note, Pebbles is now in Pet Heaven all spiffed up and running like a puppy again. Her mom and dad welcomed a red toy poodle puppy to give their love away again. Babe likes her too.
Since that time we have provided personal and individual pet sympathy letters for pet owners. Due to the great response of the sympathy letters, we have recently added “all occasion” pet letters as well.
These letters include Happy Birthday, Thank you for Rescuing me, Thank You to your Veterinarian, Encouragement, Get Well, Mothers Day and Fathers Day, Pet to Pet, Seasonal letters which include Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy Valentines or any other occasion you have in mind.
I look forward to writing “ just the right” message for your friends and your loved ones.

The devotion and unconditional love of a pet are among the best things one can experience in life. By offering you choices to memorialize your pet, Paws & Remember™, can help you cope with your loss and honor your pet in an appropriate, meaningful way.

www.pawsandremember.com/about/

When a pet is lost, the grief is deep and heartfelt. Pets are part of our family –they’re our friends, confidants and companions. That’s why, for many, the death of a beloved pet brings with it the full range of emotions that wouldaccompany the passing of any family member

In years past, pet owners had few options for honoring and memorializing their pets. This was true even though the loss of a beloved pet can impact a person just as strongly as the loss of a family member or friend.

Paws & Remember was founded to support pet owners in their time of loss. Since 1997, we have been providing full-service memorialization for pets of every description. Our high-quality cremation, personalized urns, and memorial products help pet owners and their families express their feelings, pay tribute to their pets, and reflect.

Our experience has shown that a combination of pictures and an urn or other memorial can best help pet owners celebrate a pet’s life and achieve closure. That’s why we’ve developed memorial packages tailored to pets such as dogs, cats, birds, exotic species, small and large animals, and more. Our packages can be fully personalized and include items such as handcrafted urns, photo frames, outdoor memorials, and other keepsakes.
