February 17, 2015

Pet Markers

When the time comes, you may like to memorialize your pet in a special way. Many pet owners decide to purchase a personalized bronze marker that can be placed at their pet’s gravesite in a pet cemetery. These grave markers are sturdy and weather-resistant and can be tailored with images and words.

Many Ways to Personalize a Bronze Marker

  • Find a Bronze Style. There are various different bronze styles that you can choose from, from a light to dark brown or a color or photo effect. Once you know what the bronze background will look like, you can concentrate on what lettering to add onto the marker.
  • Pick a Shape. You certainly aren’t limited to a rectangular marker. Choose a square, semi-circle, round, heart, oval, or a freestyle shape. You should also decide if you want to pick a flat grave marker or upright monument. Be sure to check with the pet cemetery first to see what they permit in which areas.
  • Your Pet’s Name and Epitaph. Your pet’s name (just first, or first and last), can be displayed, along with a date of birth and death. Some pet owners add a simple phrase, such as “She loved walks,” that lets everyone know the things that made your pet happy. You can also add a poem or other words that remind you of your pet.
  • Add Artwork and Emblems. You can choose a simple, plain background, or include pictures that let people know about your pet’s life. Pictures can be cast onto your bronze marker for a life-like image.
