Pet memorials

An online memorial for your pet

They were family. A MyMemorium pet memorial gives the dog, cat, horse, or companion who shared your life a lasting page of their own, with their photos, their story, and a place for everyone who loved them to remember.

Every favorite photo

Gather photos and videos into albums, from the day they came home to the naps in the sun you will never forget.

Their whole story

Write about their personality, their habits, and the moments that made them yours, then add a timeline of their life.

Friends can share too

Neighbors, family, and fellow pet lovers can leave a message, share a memory, add a photo, or light a candle.

Gentle and private

Keep the page public, share it only by link, protect it with a password, or keep it private to the people you invite.

Ideas for their page

What to include in a pet memorial

There is no right or wrong way to remember a pet. These are some of the things families most often add:

  • Their name, nicknames, and the years you shared. Many families list the day their pet came home alongside their birthday.
  • How they came into your life. The shelter visit, the litter, the stray who decided to stay.
  • What made them who they were. Favorite toys and treats, silly habits, the spot on the couch that was theirs, the way they greeted you at the door.
  • The people and animals they loved. Housemates, best friends at the dog park, the neighbor who always had a biscuit.
  • A photo album through the years, plus a short video if you have one.
  • A few words of goodbye, or a favorite quote, to sit at the top of the page.

Writing it can be part of grieving, so take your time. You can start with a name and a single photo and add to the page whenever you are ready. If you would like help with the words, the steps in our guide on how to write an obituary work just as well for a beloved pet.

Sharing their memorial

A place for everyone who loved them

Every pet memorial has its own address, like mymemorium.com/buddy-the-beagle, and a printable QR card you can tuck into a frame, a photo album, or the box that holds their collar. Share the link with family, your vet, your groomer, and friends from the park, and their messages and photos become part of the page.

You can also add a link to a shelter or rescue you would like to support in their memory. Pet memorials are created the same way as any MyMemorium page and are included with every membership plan.

Forever loved

Give them a page of their own.

Memorial pages are included with every Crime Solvers Central membership, from $3.97 a month.
