Life after Pet Loss
The memorial garden

Somewhere their name still lives.

A quiet page of their own: their photo, their name, the story only you can tell. Free to make, yours to keep, and yours to send to anyone who loved them too.

I.

One of the strange, hard parts is how quickly the world moves on. People stop asking after a week or two. Their bowl goes in a cupboard. And you’re left carrying a whole life that nobody else seems to be talking about anymore.

This is a place to put some of it down. Not to close it, or finish it. Just so their name exists somewhere outside your own head.

What’s on their page

Simple and unhurried. Nothing flashing, nothing asking you to buy anything.

  • Their name, and the photos you choose.
  • As much or as little of their story as you want to write, with gentle prompts if the words won’t come.
  • The small things: the walk they loved, the sound they made at the door.
  • A link to send to family and friends, so they have somewhere to remember with you.
  • Room to come back and add more, whenever you think of it.

Olive

Remembered by Summer

She came to us afraid of almost everything, and in the end she followed me from room to room like a small black shadow.

How it works

Every page is made by hand, by a person, and the words stay yours.

  1. You fill in the short form below: their name, and whatever you want said about them.
  2. We email you straight away. Reply with their photos whenever you’re ready.
  3. We build the page by hand and keep your wording. Nothing gets edited into something cheerier.
  4. Within a few days you get the link. Ask for changes any time. It stays up.
Make their page

Take your time with it.

There are no wrong answers here, and you can add anything you think of later.

Memorial submission
Just as you called them.
So we know who we're writing to. You choose below how it appears on the page.
We'll send you the link when their page is ready.
Memorial pages are public, so anyone with the link can visit, and search engines can find them. If you'd rather your family name wasn't part of that, choose the first option. Either way you get a link you can share.
However feels right: "Sarah", "the Thompson family", "her mum", or just "her family".

Their photos. Once you send this, we'll email you straight away. Just reply to that email with the photo you keep coming back to, and up to four more if you'd like them on the page. It doesn't need to be a good photograph.

One or two lines to open with.
This is the part that becomes their page, and we keep your words as you write them. If it won't come, try: How did they come to you? What did they do that was entirely their own? What were they like on an ordinary Tuesday? A few sentences is plenty. So is two pages.
The walk they loved, the sound they made at the door, the spot on the floor that's still theirs. One per line.
Something you'd want said last. We'll write one if you'd rather not.
We never publish dates, illnesses, or how they died unless you ask us to. If there's anything else to leave out, tell us here.

Only what you write here appears on the page. We never add dates, causes, or anything you haven’t told us.
If the first days are still very raw, the letter might be a gentler place to start.
