Pets make a tremendous impact on us – their unconditional love and devotion are like no other. Having a way to honor this special bond is something most pet owners want (and need for closure). These are some wonderful ways to memorialize your sweet friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Pet pendant<\/strong> \u2013 This wonderful keepsake pendant<\/a> contains a small bit of your pet\u2019s cremains. It is a lovely way to remember your pet.<\/li>
  2. Memorial Keepsake Box<\/strong> \u2013 This is the perfect place to store favorite photos, memorabilia, collars, and things that remind you of your pet. You can even write a letter to your pet and include it in this memory box. Choose from whatever style suits you, whether that\u2019s an antique box or a new keepsake box you can have engraved. It will be a special treasure no matter what.<\/li>
  3. Memorial ornament <\/strong>\u2013 Personalize one of the many styles of pet memorial ornaments<\/a> with your pet\u2019s name or photo.\u00a0<\/li>
  4. Art glass<\/strong> \u2013 If you love the artistic and aesthetically pleasing, art glass<\/a> is a beautiful expression of the love for your pet. Each piece is hand blown and uses small amounts of the cremains to memorialize your pet. Color and light reflection are unique to each piece, just as unique as your pet.<\/li>
  5. Custom paw print ring<\/strong> \u2013 If you enjoy jewelry, you can customize a ring<\/a> based on the paw print of your beloved pet. A perfect way to keep them close to you.<\/li>
  6. Memorial pet portraits<\/strong> \u2013 What an exquisite way to memorialize your furry one by having their portrait painted<\/a> by a professional artist. This is a keepsake that commands reverence for your friend\u2019s beautiful memory.<\/li>
  7. Faithful angel<\/strong> <\/a>\u2013 This lovely memorial item is a cat or dog angel depicting your pet watching over you. This angel comes with an urn and poignant inscription of your choosing.<\/li>
  8. Carved in stone<\/strong> \u2013 These markers<\/a> are perfect for the garden or another place of reflection.<\/li>
  9. A peaceful light<\/strong> \u2013 There\u2019s nothing like candlelight to soothe and quietly reflect. These gorgeous memorial candle holder urns<\/a> can keep the light of your life in mind as you meditate or relax.<\/li>
