Pet Memorials: Purchasing Products to Honor Your Cherished Pet

Pet DogThe tradition of pet memorials dates back to ancient Egypt, when grieving pet owners mummified their cats, dogs, and other pets. These early animal lovers believed firmly in honoring their loyal animal friends – after mummification, Egyptian pets were often buried in dedicated pet burial sites or entombed with their deceased owners.

Today, pet owners around the world still memorialize their furry friends as the Egyptians did thousands of years ago. Pet memorial products are loving reminders of a pet's gentle and loyal spirit.
