Memorialisation is about creating a lasting memory of your pet — it’s something you create or preserve to honour them after they’re gone. These can help with your healing and staying connected to their spirit.
Create a Sacred Space
Create a calm, loving space with soft lighting, candles (safely placed), soothing music, and comforting scents like lavender. Make it a place that you can come to whenever you want for connection and peace.
Create a Tribute to your pet
These could include:
- Planting a tree or garden in the animal’s memory
- Donating money, food, or supplies to an animal shelter in the pet’s name
- Creating a photo album
Create a Memory Altar
Include photos, their collar or toy, a candle, crystals, flowers, and any items that feel special. Visit it to talk to them or sit in reflection.
Crystal Grid of Remembrance
Use heart-based crystals like rose quartz, amethyst, and lepidolite. Place their photo or name in the center and activate it with intention and love.
Dream Connection
Invite them to visit you in dreams. Keep a journal by your bed and pay attention to signs or subtle visitations.
Memory Box
Fill a special box with their collar, tags, a favorite toy, photos, and any notes or keepsakes.
Framed Photo Tribute
Choose your favorite photo(s), add their name and dates, and frame it for a memory wall or altar.
Custom Portrait or Illustration
Commission or create artwork of them, either realistic or stylized, to capture their essence.
Paw Print Keepsake
Use ink or clay to preserve their paw print — you can frame it or turn it into a charm.
Engraved Jewelry
Wear their name, photo, or even a bit of their ashes in a locket, bracelet, or ring.
Nameplate or Stone Marker
Create a small memorial stone or plaque for your garden, front porch, or a special place.
Stuffed Animal Replica
A plush likeness of your pet can bring comfort, especially to children.
Scatter Ashes in a Meaningful Place
If cremated, release ashes somewhere meaningful — with intention, prayer, or song.
Eco Urn or Biodegradable Planter
Use a plantable urn that grows into a tree or wildflowers using their ashes.
Digital Photo Album or Slideshow
Put together a music-backed slideshow or online photo gallery you can revisit or share.
Social Media Tribute Post or Page
Create a post or even a whole page to share stories, invite others to comment, and celebrate their life.
Custom Song or Poem
Write or commission a song, poem, or spoken word piece about your bond.
Memory Journal or Scrapbook
Document your time together, your favorite memories, their quirks and wisdom.
Art or Craft in Their Name
Paint, knit, sew, or create something meaningful inspired by them — even a handmade candle or quilt.
Altar or Sacred Space
Dedicate a small area in your home to their memory with photos, objects, and offerings.
Dedicate a Ritual or Ceremony
Memorialise them through a ceremony each year — like a full moon remembrance or yearly blessing.
Name a Star (Symbolically or Officially)
Whether official or symbolic, this can be a comforting way to imagine them always shining above you.
Animal Communication
Connect with your pet soul-to-soul or work with a communicator to ask how they’re feeling, what they need, and whether they’re ready to leave. I can help you with that as I offer animal communication sessions.
