Pet memorial

A place to hold onto the ones you've lost.

A pet memorial that isn't rushed, isn't generic, and isn't reaching for sentiment it hasn't earned. Three things, made from your photos and your stories.

A painted-style pet portrait — sample canvas

When a pet dies, the house gets quieter in ways you don't notice until later — the empty hook where their lead used to hang, the floor they always slept on, the sound of their feet coming up the stairs when the fridge opens. A pet memorial isn't about filling that silence. It's about giving the silence somewhere to live.

What a considered memorial looks like

Our Essential bundle is three keepsakes, one bundle, £99:

  • A canvas portrait painted from the photo you send us. 30 × 40cm, matte, on a slim FSC wood stretcher. Arrives in about a week.
  • A written eulogy — three drafts from the stories you share. Warm, Full, or Brief. Read one aloud at a ceremony, or keep one folded in a drawer.
  • A tribute page hosted for a year. Shareable with family, private-by-passcode if you'd rather, with photos and a short memorial narrative drawn from what you tell us.

How it works

You upload three to ten photos. You answer five short prompts about them — what made you laugh, what they loved, what you'll miss. You pay once, £99. Within a day the eulogy and tribute page are with you. The canvas follows in about a week.

No account. No subscription. No dashboards. One order, one memorial.

Why a canvas, a eulogy, and a page

Because grief shows up differently on different days. Some days you want a thing to hold — a physical object that took real effort to make. Some days you want words that say what you couldn't. Some days you want to send a link to a sister, a parent, a friend who also loved them, and say: here they are. The three pieces serve different moments of the same loss.

For dogs and cats

Our canvas prompts, eulogy variants, and tribute narratives are tuned specifically for dogs and cats. We'll add more species as we grow, but forcing the same treatment onto every animal doesn't produce anything good.

Honest about AI

We use AI tools to draft the eulogy, illustrate the canvas, and shape the tribute narrative from your stories. A human reviews every piece before it reaches you. If any of it doesn't feel right, we rework it — or refund in full. Read the full promise.

Want something to share with family?

The Essential is the core memorial — for you, on your wall, in your drawer, on your screen. If you also want a hardcover photobook to pass around, a pack of cards to send to everyone who knew them, and the tribute page hosted for three years instead of one, the Keepsake at £219 bundles all of that together and includes a £15 donation to Dogs Trust in their name.

How the canvas looks

One quiet style, any breed or coat.
