Can You Get A Headstone For Your Pet?

Can You Get A Headstone For Your Pet?

Losing a pet is an awful experience, many pet owners look for comfort anywhere they can find it. Some people find that getting a memorial for their pet can help them experience some peace by visiting the spot and remembering their furry friend.

Keeping the memory of your pet alive with a pet memorial stone, pet headstone, pet grave marker, or pet tombstone is a great way to remember all the good times and memories that you shared with your pet.

Usually, people like to put the headstone in their yard. These pet markers can help you keep the memories of your pet alive forever. You can use the headstone as a grave marker or if the pet was cremated, you can simply place the stone in a spot in your yard that the dog enjoyed spending time in.

Considering how important your furry friends are and how devastating the bereavement process can be, many companies provide several customized products to help you honor your pet that has passed.

Personalized Pet Memorials

Monument companies can personalize the headstone by putting a picture of your pet onto the headstone with some wording – it doesn’t have to be just a name or dates.

You can get anything personalized from pet memorial stones and pet headstones to pet grave markers and pet tombstones. They can be made of engraved rock, engraved granite, bluestone, flagstone, or marble with a beautiful passage.

You can get your pet’s picture printed on the headstone. Moreover, you can also get a personalized urn if your pet was cremated.

The nice thing about pet headstones is that they are small enough so that if you move, you can bring the headstone with you and place it in your new location and keep spending time remembering your loving pet.

What To Look For In A Pet Headstone

Your pet’s headstone is something that you are getting made to keep your furry friend alive in your heart forever. Hence, it should be durable and sturdy. Some of the things you should consider when getting a headstone for your pet include:

Size

The size of the marker will depend on the type of customization you choose. If you are adding a picture, birth date, death date, a quote, some paw prints along with other elements, then you will need a bigger marker.

Style

This also depends on what you like. Do you prefer a flat marker, pillow marker, or upright marker? Flat markers are generally less expensive but they are usually installed at ground level so you will only be able to see what is written on the marker when standing over it.

Pillow markers are usually installed on a base that protects the marker so it will sit up a bit higher but this makes it a little more expensive.

Upright markers are the most common because you can see all the information on the marker better than on the previous two, even in the winter months.
