What Words to Use on Pet Head Stones

When it comes to planning aspects of your pet’s funeral, it can be hard to keep track of all the small details. From inviting close family and friends to figuring out the specifics of your pet’s memorial service, it’s important to think through every decision carefully. If you are having a ceremony for your pet’s burial, you might opt to include a pet grave marker of some sort.

For example, you can purchase a pet headstone for your pet to make the spot where they have been laid to rest. You can do this if you decide to bury your pet in a pet cemetery or if you opt for a backyard burial. A lot of people also opt for pet markers even if they aren’t burying. They may create a memorial garden in their yard to honor their pet’s life, even if they choose not to bury. Regardless of what you choose, purchasing a pet grave marker takes some planning to be sure you get what you want. You need to think through all of the elements of a marker, including materials, colors, sizes and more.

In addition to choosing the right material for the headstone, you also need to decide what you would like for the inscription. Some people opt for the more traditional route and write the name of their pet, the number of years they lived and then a short message such as “Forever Loved & Missed” or “In Our Hearts Forever”. However, you can really say anything that you want on a pet memorial stones. Your words should be a true expression of how you remember your pet and what about them was the most important to you.

So, think about including nicknames or a quote, poem or piece of verse that resonates with you or demonstrates the meaning your pet had in your life. You can also write your own short poem or phrase about your pet, which can then be engraved on the pet head. Some companies can also engrave a photograph of your pet into black granite for a more customized and personal touch.

However, it is what you write on pet memorial stones that will make it stand out from the rest. Some pet owners opt to write just a few lines about what their pet meant to them and their family. Others will opt for the quote or the poem. The idea is that whatever you choose to have written on your pet’s grave marker should be genuine, without consideration for what is “right” or “traditional.” In order to continue to heal, you have to do what is right for you. Many pet owners find the process of putting together a ceremony, purchasing pet burial items in tribute to their pet and simply letting go to be therapeutic at such a difficult time.

Take your time with decisions and make sure that each one reflects the joy, love and beauty that your pet brought into your life. This is the best gift you can give your pet as you release them into their next life and learn to come to grips with the sadness, instead appreciating all they gave to your life.
