Pet Memorial Gifts
Losing a pet can feel like losing a human friend or loved one. In those situations, pet memorial gifts can help ease the pain of the loss and let people focus on the good times they had with their animals: the long walks, the baths, the backyard playtimes, the cuddles on the couch.
Indeed, when such memories come to mind, dogs and cats can once again make their owners smile. If you're looking for a gift for someone who lost a pet, we offer many options so you'll first have to narrow down your pet memorial ideas. That's because pet remembrance gifts come in such a wide range of sizes and styles.
What Are Some Unique Pet Memorial Gifts To Comfort A Grieving Pet Owner?
Losing a pet can be just as difficult as losing a human loved one, and offering condolences in the form of a thoughtful gift can be a comforting gesture. Here are some additional ideas for pet sympathy gifts:
Pet Memorial Stones
Pet headstones are an elegant addition to a yard or garden. Plus, these stones let people share the memory of their deceased pet with many others. Memorial stones for pets are similar to gravestones for human beings. These gifts can be engraved with a pet's name, year of birth, year of death, or an image. For instance, they might depict a paw print or the pet's adorable face. Such a gift can feature a brief epitaph, too.
Pet Loss Wind Chimes
Include a tranquil sounding memorial wind chime in a garden or patio area. Personalization is available for some chimes.
Pet Memorial Frames
Picture frames are popular pet memorial gifts as well. These items can feature a vibrant picture of the dearly departed, a poem or another message, and paw prints or other engraved images. There are large frames to hang on walls and small freestanding frames for desks and tabletops. Whichever frame you choose in remembrance of a special creature, it's sure to bring extra warmth to the owner's home or workplace for a long time to come.
Pet Memory Book
For children, you might also select a book that addresses the death of pets in a comforting and sensitive way. For instance, they could read about a dog that's passed away and is now on its way to heaven.
Pet Memory Box
Child-friendly pet loss gifts include keepsake boxes to store special pictures of the pet or dog tags. (Of course, these gifts are also ideal for adults grieving the loss of a pet.)
Pet Memorial Ornament
A remembrance ornament that displays a photo of the animal could be a touching tribute, one the whole family could appreciate. Can be displayed during the holiday seasons or hung year-round.
Pet Cremation Jewelry
Pieces of jewelry also make for thoughtful pet memorials. A person could even keep a portion of the pet's cremation ashes inside a pendant, thus keeping the animal close throughout the day.

What Is The Rainbow Bridge?
Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day is celebrated every August 28 in honor of all the pets lost, but not forgotten. The Rainbow Bridge poem suggests that there is a place between Heaven and Earth where all pets go after their death. All pets are restored to good health and are happy and playing with other animals in the meadow. Then one day the animal stops, body quivering, eyes intent, and you are spotted. They run toward you for a joyous reunion, never to be parted again. You then cross the Rainbow Bridge together. Click here for the complete Rainbow Bridge poem.
