Some people believe that it is downright foolish to mourn the death of a pet. However, people who have experienced the joy of animals in their lives and the opportunity to share the bond of unconditional love feel that it is the perfectly right thing to do.

Whether it is a human being or an animal, coming to terms with separation due to death is difficult. Creating a memorial for a pet can be an important source of reminder about the good times. Most people like to enshrine their pet's memories in a simple photograph whereas certain pet-lovers prefer a more elaborate setting through a personalized pet memorial. As most local authorities do not permit burial of animals, cremation remains the best option.

Most veterinary care facilities in the US make arrangements for the cremation of pets. After cremation, the animal's ashes are handed over to the pet owner, who may choose to make it a part of a pet memorial. The location of the pet memorial depends on the pet-lover, but many people choose to keep the remains within the house or at the pet's favorite spot. The ashes can be kept in a box or urn, which are available in wood, stone and metal. Most memorial container makers can include the pet's picture or its likeness as part of the design and engrave the name and date as well.

Personalizing a pet memorial is all about immortalizing the uniqueness of the pet and releasing the pain associated with its death. Pet-lovers can design the memorial as they choose, adding articles they consider necessary. For instance, some pet owners include their pet's collar, leash, feeding and watering bowls and even its beloved rag, in the memorial. A few pictures of the people that loved the pet or small articles belonging to them can also be arranged at the personalized pet memorial.

Some pet lovers preserve all the cutest moments in their pet's life in photographs and videos, which is used as a part of the memorial. Each member of the pet's family would typically have at least one special moment with the pet, whether it was the time the pup ran off with their shoe or the time the iguana bit their finger. These moments can be written down and added to the personalized memorial.

While creating personalized pet memorials, pet-lovers should let the love for their pets guide them in deciding on ways to personalize and thus immortalize the pet's memory.
