Thoughtful ways to remember your pet
Thanks for your order submission for your Remembrance post. Please email us your obit/story and up to 3 jpg photos of your pet. We will may or may not edit photos or wording at our discretion. Email us at
If you are here, it is no doubt because you’ve lost a pet that you loved dearly. We understand. We’ve been there and know the big hole they can leave in one’s heart. That’s why we’ve created My Pets Remembered Facebook groups in all 50 states.
(Please use contact form to request links for
other states).
In the Facebook group you can
announce the passing of your pet with a photo and a few words of remembrance. It’s
free, just become a member and post. Feel free to offer consolation to others
who have posted. My Pets Remembered Facebook groups are about sharing and
caring during the time of loss with comments by those who knew you beloved pet
and also those who love pets and come along side to console you.
It’s very hard to go back and
find any mention of your Facebook post, especially as years pass. That’s why we’ve
created this legacy site, My Pets Remembered, which features individual notices
of a pet’s passing.
On this My Pets Remembered site,
you can further honor your pet with a Remembrance Obit, which will stay on the
Internet for years. We only ask a nominal fee to support this site.
To publish your Remembrance
Obit which includes up to 1000 word obit/story and up to 3 photos honoring your
pet’s life, please follow the steps below.
Determine your title (We retain
the right to edit or refuse to publish anything).
Cat, Fancy Pants (Smith) Pine
City, MN; Dog, Sir Frederick 7th (Scott) Hinckley, MN, etc.
Write an obituary for your pet
Start by announcing your pet’s
death with their name followed by pet owner’s last name in parentheses as shown
above, it’s age or approximate age, and city. Then share key details about
their life story including their personality, and how they affected you.
Mention critter siblings and family members, and significant achievements,
concluding with information about any preferred memorial donations; be sure to include a personal touch by highlighting aspects
that made them unique and cherished by yourself and others. (BTW, we donate 10% of all monies to animal
charities).
Use the Pay Now button Above to purchase your Remembrance Obit.
You’ll receive an email to send your obit/story with up to 3 photos (jpgs).
We try to publish
your pet obit here within 3 days of receiving your submission fee. Return to see
it published and find your link to (optionally) copy and paste into the
comments on your My Pets Remembered Facebook notice so readers can click it to
come to this page. Be sure to share the link with others.
*Your pet’s exclusive
post will be searchable on the internet for a minimum of ten years (as long as the
Blogger platform and the Internet exist and honor this site; we cannot guarantee
or control technology).
If you have
any questions at all, please use the contact form on this page.
To remember a pet,
you can create a memorial, preserve their paw print, or give a gift.

Bury their remains in your yard and mark the spot

Give a gift

Say something
"Thinking about you and your pet [Pet's name]"
"I am so sorry for your loss"
"A companion is gone, but the memory lives on"
"You and [pet's name] were so lucky to have found each other"
The above was Googled and generated by A.I. I hope that these ideas may be helpful during the time of your or someone elses loss of a pet.
I created this blog several years ago and never really got it started. I'm here this morning because a dear pet of a friend passed last night. I'm in tears as I write this because I also knew and loved this little darling cat named Shiraz.
Shiraz is the sister of my cat, Prosper. Shiraz had a very good life but should have had more years by all accounts. She was well taken care of with tons of love. She had been sick for many months and had many visits to the vet but gradually declined over time.
I am dedicating this blog to her and her memory. I've dealt with the loss of a pet before and I know how hard it can be. This blog will have posts honoring pets; mostly dogs and cats but all pets are welcome. First join the Facebook group and post a picture and comment there. We may select and copy your post here so it will last as long as Blogger and the Internet lasts for easy search to look back on.
