Is There A Pet Memorial Day?

What Is Memorialization?

Memorialization is remembering a deceased pet by creating a special place to acknowledge, depict and honor a pet’s life. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Common methods are to engrave the pet’s name and other data into a wood, metal or stone plaque and to place it in a special setting to honor the pet, such as a burial plot or memorial wall. It is an appropriately identified place where pet owners may go to remember a lost friend.
