Australia ranks as one of the highest in terms of Pet ownership in the world. So it’s no wonder that we all at some point have experienced the pain of losing a beloved family pet. Having a memorial in the back yard along and a small service has shown to help the healing process.
So what do you look for when buying a Pet Memorial Plaque in Australia?
We understand that it’s a difficult time, trust us, we have walked your footsteps in this regard. Learning from this experience we have tried to make the buying of a pet memorial product as easy as possible. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind and should make buying a pet memorial that little bit easier.
QUALITY
Is the pet memorial you are buying going to last. It is no use buying something that will not last a life time. Your memories will last a life time so why not the Pet memorial plaque. Imagine the heartache you will feel if you have to replace the memorial because the plaque breaks fades or rots. We regularly have customers who buy from us after having bought a cheap import or cheap trinket included in the cremation. Be particularly weary of engraved nylon plaques or product made from plastic or resin, they will fade and need to be replaced at some point. Materials used in the human monumental industry have been selected because they have to last forever. That’s why we use the same materials used in human memorials & headstones. Pet memorials in Granite, pet memorials is sandstone, pet memorial urns and other ever lasting materials like Clay paver and Tumbled river stones.
Style?
Greif is a very personal emotion so are our tastes when identifying what will make an attractive memorial for your pet. Different materials and style will suit different situations. There is no right or wrong, just different what works for you may not work for another. It’s the memories that are most important. As much as we love what we do and what we create, talkingstones understands that it’s our customers quality of memories they have for their pet that’s most important. That’s why we welcome special requests. Its important to get it right and create something that will last and be cherished forever.
Budget?
You don’t have to spend a fortune to buy an everlasting pet memorial plaque for hedstone for your pet. Talkingstones have pet memorials starting from $80 and all our plaques make wonderfully pet headstones. We can also be commissioned to create something as individual as you can imagine.
Reputation?
Who you are buying your pet memorial plaque from? Are they reputable, do they guarantee their work. Can you read real testimonials, are these testimonial being updated reguallry. Does the engraver deal with other reputable companies and partners, (you can tell a lot about a business by the people they deal with). How long have they been in business. Are you dealing with the manufacturer of pet memorials or are you just buying a cheap import from an importer.
