Whether you're saying goodbye to a beloved pet or remembering one who has passed, it can be hard to know how to cope with the loss. Furry friends are family and deserve to be remembered and honored properly. A pet memorial sign is a great way to do that in a place where you'll see it daily.
Why make a pet memorial?

We all love our pets, but some take that love to a new level. You may be one of those cat people who can't bear to be separated from your feline friend for more than an hour. Or you might be the proud owner of multiple dogs, each with its distinct personality and quirks.
While we don't yet have technology capable of resurrecting deceased animals (yet!), we do have other ways to honor them in this world: creating memorial signs for pets is one way that many pet owners choose to keep their furry friends close at hand forever.
What to put on your pet memorial

Now that you've decided to personalize your pet's memorial sign, it's time to consider what exactly you want on it.
- You can include a photo of your pet. If you have a picture of the exact spot where they passed, that might be especially meaningful for those who come by and see the sign often.
- You can list the date of birth and death. This will help others know when they were born and died and any other pertinent information (such as their name). It also helps if people see that there is an age range for when pets are considered elderly instead of "just old."
- You could also include funny stories about their life together as family members to make everyone smile while remembering them fondly—this is a great way to keep people smiling even though they're mourning over losing their furry friend!
BONUS: Anything else you should add on this memorial sign? For example: “His favorite food was macaroni and cheese." Or “She loved getting belly rubs!"

For those who have lost their furry (or scaly) family members, pet memorial wall art can bring comfort by providing a tangible reminder of your beloved cat, dog, or anything in between. These signs come in many styles: some feature photos, while others engrave words of remembrance and love. Regardless of what you choose, a pet memorial wall decor will provide you with an opportunity to celebrate your beloved pet’s life by placing it in a place where everyone can see it every day.
A pet memorial canvas print is one example of how we remember our pets as part of our family.
Canvas prints are ideal for indoor or outdoor placement, so they’re great if you want to keep them out of direct sunlight (or away from rain). They come in varying designs and sizes—from small prints that hang on doors to large ones you can hang on a bare wall—so there are plenty of options when choosing which style best suits your needs!
Where to place your pet memorial

Once you've decided on a design and material for your pet memorial, the next step is to choose where to place it.
Your options are plentiful:
Place it in the yard or garden
A pet memorial is a lovely way to remember a beloved animal companion. There are many different ways to create a pet memorial, but one of the most popular options is to place it in the yard or garden. This provides a beautiful and serene setting to reflect on fond memories. It also ensures that the memorial will be visible daily, constantly reminding you of the special bond you shared.
Most canvas prints fade when under direct sunlight. But Tailored Canvases uses UV-resistant ink, so the vibrancy stays much longer when outdoors.
Still, choose an area that’s a bit more shaded and protected from rain if you want the print to last.
Once the memorial is in place, you can add personal touches such as flowers, photos, or other mementos. With a bit of thought and creativity, you can create a pet memorial that is both unique and meaningful.
Place it in the home (foyer, living room, or bedroom)

Placing your pet memorial inside your home is a beautiful way to keep your furry friend close to your heart. Whether you choose to display it in the foyer, living room, or bedroom, having a pet memorial in your home will help you always to remember the joy they brought into your life.
While some people may choose to keep their pet's ashes or collar inside a shadow box or memory box, others may opt for a more personalized approach.
Creating a small shrine dedicated to your pet with photos, memorable items, and heartfelt messages is a beautiful way to keep their memory alive. Whatever approach you take, placing your pet memorial inside your home will surely bring you comfort and peace.
Place it at work
There are many different ways to display a pet memorial, but placing it in your office is a great way to keep your pet close to you and share your loss with co-workers. If you have a desk or cubicle, you can place the memorial on your wall, where it will be visible to everyone who enters your office.
If you prefer something more low-key, try placing the memorial on top of your filing cabinet or bookshelf. This way, it will be the first thing people see when they enter your office, and it will be a constant reminder of your beloved pet.
Your beloved fur baby deserves a tribute you can see every day.
