Pets are part of the family.
Loss of a pet is a concept non-pet owners may never grasp. The relationship between a human and a pet transcends many other bonds in life and is precious to those who have it. Pets are part of the family and are valued as contributing to happiness, health and everyday life. The loss of a precious pet can be acknowledged with a loving bereavement gift.
Angel Statues
Purchase a statue of an angel holding an animal. This statue can be placed near a pet grave or used for indoor memorabilia. This gift is best suited for Christian pet owners who are comforted by believing their pet has ascended to heaven. Statues can be found online or in stores featuring statues. Some pet stores may carry such statues as well.
Engraved Sculptures
Find a sculpture of an animal which bears a resemblance to the deceased which is equipped with a plaque or front panel for engraving. Inquire in the store as to engraving services, otherwise take the sculpture to an engraving service store. Ask the engravers to place the name of the animal on the front of the sculpture and present the gift to the bereaved as a kind memorial to their animal.
Canvas Art
Obtain a picture of the animal and pay for an artist to create a canvas painting of the animal. Once the painting is finished, it may be framed and presented to the bereaved. This gift may take a few months to complete. The bereaved will appreciate the gift even months after the passing of their beloved pet.
Jewelry
Purchase jewelry, such as necklaces, bracelets or rings, symbolizing the pet. The loss of a dog or cat could merit a paw print necklace. If the animal had a human or common name, jewelry adorned with the name is appropriate. Initial necklaces are popular, as well as charm bracelets. If the owner wears a charm bracelet, purchase a new charm to commemorate the love between the owner and the deceased animal.
