Tombstones for Pets

A tombstone is for sustaining the memory of your beloved furry friend

On the sad occasion of the passing on of your pet, if you have opted for burial, then you will have to make certain arrangements, like flowers, a coffin, and finally a tombstone for sustaining the memory of your beloved furry friend. A tombstone for a pet is a fitting embellishment to a grave, and fortunately today, there are several companies which specialise in this particular product.

How to Order a Tombstone

Today, most of the tombstone suppliers are online companies, so you need to get onto the net to order them. Once you go online, against the keyword ‘tombstones’ or ‘gravestones’, you will see several companies who supply tombstones. There is a vast range of tombstones to choose from, and you can choose the colour, shape and size according to your personal preference.

Once you have chosen a particular model, you need to add an epitaph to your order, or a small poem that you feel fit for the memory of your pet. Today, you even have the option to add a photograph on the tombstone, along with the epitaph. So, when you go online, keep a scanned photograph handy, so that you can upload it on to your order, once you have selected a suitable tombstone.

A few Useful Tips

Some orders may take a week or more to reach you, so be prepared for a bit of a wait.
If you are going to add a photograph to the tombstone, then ensure that you select a background colour that will go well with the photograph and the colour of your pet.
Insist on receiving a proof, which will be a draft of the final tombstone, so that you can make last-minute alterations, if required.
If you have buried your pet in an external cemetery, then ensure that the tombstone you order is in line with the rules of the cemetery.
If you want to install the tombstone yourself, ensure that the cemetery allows this. Otherwise, you would have to hire a professional installer who can be located with the help of the cemetery managers.

Remember, the tombstone for your beloved pet is going to have to last for several years, so you should choose very carefully, so that once installed, you can keep your furry friend’s memories alive for years to come.
