We at GOC Rocks, realize and appreciate the type of bond we share with our pets, however small they may be in this world; so for your furry/feathery/scaled friend to wander on into some alternative universe or timeless plane doesn’t sit right, it leaves a wound that you can’t stitch up all by yourself. This blog highlights the journey that goes with making custom pet memorial rocks and provides an understanding of how they can offer comfort during grievous times.
Why Pet Memorial Are Important
Pets mean the world to us, and occupy a special place in our hearts. They become an addition to the family that we all love with every fiber of our being. Many of us, even me- who is talking to the wise and mighty internet here; are absolutely devastated by their pet passing away. Naturally that you grieve over losing your best friend but instead hold their memory for life! Pet memorials are a physical way to honor our beloved four-legged friends and have something that can help bring a bit of closure while grieving. In general, handcrafted pet memorial rocks help remind us of the unconditional love and connection we made with a very special being in our lives by keeping their memory alive, even long after they have passed on.
The Art of Personalization
Personalized pet memorial rocks on the other hand allow us to give tribute in a way that is more closely associated with who or what our pets were. We know every pet is unique and we do our very best to create a laser engraved memorial for you that truly captures who they were as an individual. Whether you decide to include his name, a quote that speaks volumes on how much of an impact your pet made in your life, or even just strong words; our talented artisans will make sure they create something special with love and care. Some of the personalization options are playful paw prints, settings like waterfalls or mountains and many more, so you can really create a unique remembrance for your furry friend. If you opt for the fully custom option, you may even upload your own picture of your pet, and we will make a black and white rendering of your companion to engrave on the stone.
An Overview of Engraving Personalized Pet Memorial Stones
After you select your design, we start to engrave it. Our skilled team, utilizing the latest in technological advancements and precision tools will then take your selected text or design and bring it to life. We are detail-oriented and take pride in making every line sharp! No matter if you like a basic and also classy font style or fairly an elaborate design, we master fitting it to your layout idea. Every time an engraving tool contacts the urn, it does so with memories and emotions from a pet owner— each letter is its symbol of sadness for having to part ways. A place that I have found very useful to read about loss and how to deal with these emotions is at Let Your Love Grow. This is a great place as it shows that with every loss, their is the chance to start anew! Their products and their posts teach that life has its ways to come full circle. We recommend pairing on of our memorials with their plant growing kits to breath in life from the loss, to help with the healing process.
The Uniqueness of Each Rock
All of our personalized pet memorial stones are made from real river rocks, making each one as unique and individualized as the pets they celebrate. No two rocks are the same and each stone has its own color variations, shapes, and texture! These characteristics give the rock its one of a kind beauty and significance, which pays tribute to how special that particular pet was. Like your pet, each rock is a tale of its own, from its surface, weather wear, or gentle changes in hue — all that make the best kind of memory for a great friend.
Finding Comfort in Memorials
Personalized pet memorial rocks are a source of comfort and relief to many people who have just lost their canine or feline fur baby. These rocks are placed in the gardens, on a mantlepiece or shelf, and other areas as special reminders to us of our pets. Engraved stones forever show that the love remains, and returns joy. It is this physical connection that connects us to our faithful companion. Individualized pet memorials allow us to reflect on the beloved memories we have shared with our pets. These stones offer a sense of tranquility and cure when things have gotten heavy.
