After saying goodbye to your beloved pet, honouring their place in your heart and lives is very important and very personal. Here are some ideas you might like to consider, when that time comes.
Scatter
One of the more traditional ways to say goodbye and lay your pet to rest is by scattering their ashes.
This could be at your home or their favourite place, like the beach or walking trail you enjoyed together. This offers an opportunity for the family to gather and grieve together, remembering and sending love to your pet.
Urn
An ornamental urn can be kept in the home or used in a memorial for your pet. This is a way to forever keep your special friend close and always a part of your family home.
Burial
Ashes can be buried in a special place, most often in the garden – maybe their favourite place to sit or sleep. Burying as part of a ceremony is a chance for you to grieve as a family and lay your pet to rest with a beautiful send off, surrounded by the people they loved, and forever in the place they were connected to.
Planting Memorial
An addition to scattering, memorial urn or burial, you could choose to plant a tree or special type or coloured blooming plant, to grow and nurture in honour of your beloved friend. Placing it in a special location, like their burial site or favourite place at home. You may even like to use a biodegradable urn within the planting, so they become part of the growing tree.
Keepsakes and Art
Some of the more modern ways to keep your pet close and remind you daily of your bond is to incorporate their ashes into a piece of jewellery, commission a piece of art such as a portrait, a sculpture, or other keepsakes like photo frames.
