A pet memorial headstone is a great way to commemorate the members of our families who just happen to be animals. To a casual observer, the family dog or cat might seem more like property than a family memory, with only those inside the family circle knowing just how beloved the pet truly was, particularly by the children in the household. This poses a challenge when the time comes to find out how to honor their memory.
There are two primary materials used for animal headstones, granite and river rock. Each can be engraved with any printed message one chooses, including the birth and death dates and a few well-chosen words of remembrance. For an extra fee, either an engraved image or a photograph can also be affixed to the marker.
Among a wide range of possible materials, ordinary river rock stands out in popularity, particularly for homeowners. River rock is uniquely well suited for gardens, and gardens are uniquely appropriate places to bury a cherished pet. River rock will bear a nearly infinite variety of written expression, including light-hearted or jovial messages. At the other end of the spectrum, river rock is equally well suited for hymns or poems.
River rock meets other needs, too. A grave marker for an animal friend made from a river rock is a fine way for a household to memorialize a beloved pet while finally acknowledging the distinction between man and animal. This can be important to maintain for some, such as households of traditional faith.
A granite grave marker is innately more formal than river rock, as many humans have chosen granite markers for themselves and their close relations. They are common enough in back yard grave sites, but are even more common to cemeteries. This association can make granite feel somehow more official and significant, no matter where the grave site might be.
It goes without saying that millions lose their beloved pets but don't have any actual land of their own for a real household grave site. They might be students, military, or others who live a transient existence. They might also simply be apartment dwellers who don't have land, who feel most comfortable in the skies of big cities.
For those whose lives are transient, and for apartment dwellers generally, cremation is usually the natural choice, and those making that choice typically choose an urn for the ashes. Usually composed of ceramics or perhaps brass, an urn will take on almost any sort of design. Urn designs will reflect the choices the householder has already made about his or her interior spaces, and can then be placed for display on a prominent shelf.
It isn't easy to commemorate a lost animal friend in just the proper manner. Luckily, the funeral industry has branched out to accommodate people for whom a pet is virtually a family member. A pet memorial headstone can be both inexpensive and convenient, and varied enough to meet any household need.
