Though everyone knows death exists and that it will strike one day, dealing with the death of a loved one is a traumatic task. Perhaps, all that someone can do on the death of a loved one is to express grief and allow time to heal the pain.
The death of a pet is no different from the death of a human, even though there are quite a few people who think that it is not worth mourning a pet. Pet-lovers are sentimental and need some closure after the passing of a cherished four-legged companion. The law in most states permits only the cremation of animals and so pet-lovers have no opportunity to visit a pet’s resting place. Hence, a pet memorial is the most appropriate way to pay homage to a departed pet.
A pet memorial can be as unique as a bereaved pet-lover would want it to be. Most people opt for a simple plaque to commemorate the bond of love that they shared with their pets. A granite pet memorial consists of engraved plaques that can be laid over the pet’s last refuge or be fitted in the pet-lover’s home.
Granite monuments, designed especially for pets are available on the Internet. They are engraved with the pet’s name and important dates, at no extra cost. Some granite plaque manufacturers also offer to engrave salutary remarks, quotes and epitaphs for the pet. A wonderful feature, available through some sellers, is laser carving, which enables the pet-lover to engrave the pet’s picture on to the granite.
Granite plaques come in a range of colors and very often the visibility of the engraving depends on the color. For instance, darker granite is the best suited for laser engravings whereas a lighter one is suited for verbal etchings.
Granite pet memorials are everlasting and can literally immortalize the pet in stone. Most people choose to lay it in a place they can visit often or the pet’s favorite location.
