to honor and cherish

the memory of your BELOVED PETS

  Losing a beloved pet is never easy. The memories they leave behind are priceless and impossible to forget. Our furry friends bring immense joy and unconditional love into our lives, making it all the more heartbreaking when they leave us. If love alone could grant immortality, our pets would live on forever.


  While we can't extend their time with us, they will forever reside in our hearts. Creating a personalized pet memorial is a beautiful way to honor their lives and the impact they had on us, because a remarkable pet deserves an extraordinary legacy.


  After a pet has crossed the rainbow bridge, many people like to mark their grave or the site where they've spread their ashes with a special marker or pet memorial plaque.

 

  Birkmeier Monument Company has several pet markers and memorial plaques with which to honor your furry companion. Most of these pet markers can be personalized with a name and dates, and often have space for a brief message as well.

  When choosing from our range of custom pet memorials, it's important to consider the amount of engraving you require.


  Our pet memorials come in various sizes, which not only impact the available space for engraving but also the size of the engraving itself.


Smaller plaques may only have enough room for two or three lines, with approximately 14 to 18 characters per line.

 

  On the other hand, larger markers can accommodate up to five or six lines, with 25 to 35 characters per line.


  Depending on the grave marker you opt for, there may also be space for an engraved photo or a small piece of artwork.

Personalized Pet Markers

  There are various options available for pet markers, aside from just placing them on your beloved pet's grave, many people also place a pet marker in their garden at home, or even inside the home on a mantle or shelf.  Ranging from sleek black granite stones that lie flat on the ground to subtle gray memorial stones that seamlessly fit into a garden or flower bed.


  When selecting a pet marker to honor the memory of your beloved companion, think about where you're going to place the stone - whether you want it customized, and the size of the stone you prefer. If you need a dog memorial marker for a bigger pet cemetery, you might need to select a specific size or style of stone so that it doesn't "get lost" by the cemetery size.

  • What are some things to consider when purchasing a pet headstone?

    When searching for a pet burial stone, remember to think about the size, type, design, and customization options available.


    The Size 

    When selecting a burial stone, one of the initial decisions to consider is the size. Memorial stones are offered in various sizes, from 12 by 24 inches to 18 by 24 inches. If you only want to engrave your pet's name, birthdate, and death date, a smaller gravestone would be suitable. However, if you intend to engrave a quote or a picture of your pet, a larger pet burial stone may be more fitting.


    The Design

    When it comes to pet headstones, the options are endless. You can explore a plethora of styles, including flat gravestones, upright gravestones, and pillow gravestones, which are popular choices among pet owners. Additionally, these headstones come in different shapes, from the timeless rectangular shape to a heart-shaped one. So, make sure to take into account the style of the headstone when selecting a dog burial stone or a pet headstone that truly reflects your furry friend's memory.


    The Type 

    When it comes to honoring your cherished pet, a pet headstone can serve as a beautiful and lasting memorial. By securely fixing it to the ground, it becomes a permanent fixture that cannot be easily taken away. This type of headstone is highly recommended if you're planning to lay your furry companion to rest in a pet cemetery or in your own backyard. Conversely, if you're someone who frequently changes residences, a removable headstone might be a better option for you.


    The Customization 

    Consider the level of customization you desire when choosing a pet burial stone. Many manufacturers offer the choice to add a picture of your pet and personalize the engraving with the details you prefer.
