Considered keepsakes, for the ones you've lost.
A canvas portrait, a written eulogy, and a tribute page — all from one photo and a handful of stories. Made with care in the UK, for dogs and cats.
A pet memorial gift should carry the weight of the bond, not just fill the shelf. Most keepsakes you'll find online are either rushed and impersonal, or priced out of reach. We built Small Goodbyes as the middle ground — a considered keepsake that arrives in days rather than months, and feels like it was made by someone who cared.
What's in the Essential bundle
One bundle, £99, three keepsakes made from a single intake. No add-ons, no upsells, no rushed checkout.
- Canvas portrait — 30 × 40cm matte canvas on a slim FSC wood stretcher. Painted-style from the photo you share, printed locally in our partner network, arrives in about a week.
- Written eulogy — three drafts written from your stories. Warm, Full, and Brief. Pick the one that sounds like you; the others are yours to keep.
- Tribute microsite — a quiet page of photos, stories, and a memorial narrative. Hosted for a year, private-by-passcode if you want it to be, shareable with family by link.
For dogs, for cats, for both
We focus only on dogs and cats for now. That focus means the canvas prompts, eulogy drafts, and tribute narratives are tuned for the two animals we know best. If you're looking for something for a horse, a rabbit, or a bird — we're not the right place yet, but we're close. Let us know by email and we'll add you to the list.
Who it's for
Most of our customers are in the first few months after losing their pet. Some are commissioning the bundle as a gift for a parent who's just said goodbye to a long companion. Some are quietly preparing, knowing the moment is coming.
We don't use urgency timers, scarcity banners, or "only 3 left" messaging. You're not going to be hurried. The order stays with you until you're ready to place it.
Our promise
We use AI tools to draft and illustrate, then we check every piece by hand before it reaches you. If what comes back doesn't feel right, you tell us, and we rework it — or we refund you in full. Thirty days, no questions. That's the deal on every order.
Delivery
Free UK shipping as standard. The canvas prints locally in the UK, Europe, US, Canada, Australia, or Japan — wherever the customer is — so no cross-border customs. Internationally, add £20 to cover the shipping difference.
If you want the gift to be bigger
For a fuller memorial — the kind an adult child might commission for a parent who's just lost a dog of fifteen years — the Keepsake bundle at £219 adds a 28-page hardcover Memoir photobook, a pack of 10 sympathy cards to send to family and the vet, three years of hosting for the tribute page, and a £15 donation to Dogs Trust in the pet's name. Saves £76 over the individual prices. For an even more formal presentation, swap the canvas for a pre-framed version from £109.
