Our animal companions provide companionship, acceptance, emotional support and unconditional love. Saying goodbye to a beloved pet can be like losing a member of the family. Sometimes a ceremony, even something small and simple, can assist the grieving process by providing an opportunity to express what your pet meant to you.

A child’s first encounter with death may be the loss of a family pet. A memorial ceremony, that includes the child, helps them to address questions about life and death, and allows them the opportunity to grieve in a healthy way.

I can help you create a loving tribute to your animal companion in whatever time, place or form feels appropriate and fitting.
