Cards for the people who knew them.

In the first few weeks, several people usually need to hear directly from you. The vet who was there at the end. The neighbour who walked them on Tuesday mornings. A cousin who wasn't sure whether to send a message. A card is an old answer to an old problem — something physical, something quieter than a text message, something they can keep.

What's on them

• Front. Your pet's painted-style portrait — the same illustration we make for the canvas. Pet's name below in a warm serif.
• Inside, left page. A short excerpt from the Warm eulogy — around eighty words, chosen as a quiet opening, not a full obituary.
• Inside, right page. Blank. For your own handwritten note. The whole point.
• Back. A small colophon — your pet's name and dates, and a one-line tribute. Not marketing; no logo, no URL.

When they help

Families use them for three kinds of people:

• People who didn't know them well but knew they were important to you. Colleagues, old friends. One card, a line of acknowledgement, your name.
• People who helped through the ending. The vet, the vet nurse, a pet-sitter who was there for their last months. A card is the closest equivalent to a handwritten thank-you note that still feels proportionate.
• Family who loved them alongside you. Parents, siblings, children. A card with a portrait is quieter than a photograph and more formal than a text — fits that weight.

How many, how often

Ten cards per pack. Most people send between four and eight, keeping one or two for later. The painted portrait is the same across all ten — not personalisable per card — because the pack is meant to be consistent, a small set.

Paper and printing

A6 folded (150 × 105mm when folded), 300gsm uncoated paper, vertical orientation. Printed locally wherever possible; UK orders print in the UK. Envelopes included, same weight stock, no printing on them. 5–9 working days from order.

Standalone or as part of the Keepsake

The card pack is £29 on its own. It's also included in the Keepsake bundle at £219, which pairs the cards with the canvas, eulogy, tribute page, Memoir photobook, three years of hosting, and a £15 Dogs Trust donation — saving £76 versus individual prices.

What you need before ordering

You'll need to upload the same photographs you'd use for the canvas (the portrait on the card front is the same painting). You'll also need the Warm eulogy draft finalised — the cards print its first paragraph as the inside-left excerpt. If you're ordering cards on their own, you can still upload photos and choose a eulogy tone during the intake flow.
