Honoring Your Furry Family Members: Creative Pet Memorials

At Sunburst, pets have always been and will always be family. When they pass, it’s natural to want to honor their memory in a way that reflects their special place in our lives. Thankfully, every memorial we create is completely personalized to your family and pets- and we’re proud to build pet memorials that reflect all that they were and the special memories created; because we believe every pet should be remembered in a way that resonates with you and your best memories. 

Memorial Etchings

Etchings are a beautiful way to commemorate your furry friend. Many people choose to have their pet’s name, a special date, favorite photo, and more, etched into their chosen stone or granite material. Whether you prefer a classic plaque or a custom shape that reflects their personality- like a paw print, bone, or favorite treat, etchings are a wonderful way to personalize their tribute. 

Custom-Shaped Stones

Another unique way to personalize your pet’s tribute is with a custom-shaped stone or granite. These can be shaped to your pet’s breed, favorite toy, or design that captures their spirit. Whether they were a playful pup, graceful cat, or quirky companion, having a special shape to remember them by can be a heartfelt way to celebrate your pet’s personality and memories they created with you. 

Memory Gardens

If you have an outdoor space, we always invite you to consider creating a memory garden dedicated to your pet(s). It’s an opportunity to incorporate various elements, such as engraved stepping stones, custom statues and memorials, and plants that hold meaningful memories with your pet. Even if they were known for munching on your flowers and diggin’ up your garden, creating a special place in that very garden for their final resting place can be a meaningful way to honor their memory.  

Creating a pet memorial is a personal process that reflects the beautiful connection between you and your pet. Whether you opt for an intricate granite etching, a playful custom shape, or a beautifully crafted keepsake for your memorial garden, the goal is to create a tribute that resonates with your love and the memories you shared. We always believe each memorial to be unique to you and their story, and hope to be a part of creating a tribute that captures all they were with a lasting, comforting reminder of the special paw prints they left on your heart.
