Buying Pet Memorials in Canada

Memorial Stones

Granite memorial stones are one type of pet memorial available online. An image of the deceased pet and the dates of birth and death can be placed on the stone through laser engraving. If desired, additional images can be added to the memorial stone as well. Options for the additional images include:

Flowers
Paw prints
Doves

Epitaph Stone

This type of pet memorial is an upright stone designed to be displayed either indoors or outdoors. The pet's name is carved into the stone and the owner can choose to add a poem, some text and/or the dates of birth and death.

Pet Cremation Urns

Some people choose to have their pet cremated and the ashes returned to them. A number of different styles of pet cremation urns are available. Pet owners may choose any of the following to store their pet's ashes:

Traditional marble urn
An urn with photo frames to display images of the deceased pet
A wooden pet urn
Bronze urn

Online Pet Memorials

Since so many people are interacting with each other online, it only makes sense that they share their memories of their beloved pets online as well.

The Brandon Humane Society invites visitors to post a photo of their beloved pet on the website, along with a poem or a brief account of what made the pet so special. The Society also accepts financial donations from pet owners in memory of a deceased pet.

Similarly, the Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society will post a photo and the story of a pet on their Web site in return for a donation of $25.

Clients of the [[1] East York Animal Clinic] can post an image of your pet and a brief accounting of their life and passing on the Web site.

Pet Video Memorials

Yet another option is to have photos and videos of the pet turned into a DVD. The owner's memories are set to music to create a record of the time spent with the pet.

It is normal for us to want to remember the people and pets who meant so much to us when they were alive. Certainly, our pets are a part of our families; they are far from being dumb animals. Very few of us ever experience the kind of unconditional love that we get from our pets from the people in our lives. Residents of the Great White North are not exception; for this reason retailers carrying pet memorials in Canada provide several options for remembering our animal companions.
