Treasuring your memories
Treasuring your memories Sometimes it helps to memorialise the memory of your lost companion in some way, for example... Select a favourite photograph and have it enlarged and framed Arrange a family funeral or "goodbye" ceremony Write a story about the pet's life Put your pet's toys, dishes etc in a special place such as a Memory Box Plant a flower or tree Publish a memorial, exactly as we do when human members of our family die. The NZ Herald has a Pets in Memoriam section. Or for a tribute with a photo that lasts a whole year, at less than the cost of one day in the NZ Herald, consider the lovely e-memorial garden for pets on petsonthenet.co.nz. To make an appointment call Kathy at (09) 575 4000
