When you have lost a beloved pet, there is nothing more comforting than thinking about the cherished moments of their life, keeping them forever remembered and forever loved. Pet Memorials provides grieving pet owners with the consolation of a dignified and personalized memorial for your lost companion. I will craft a Latin elegiac piece describing the individual characteristics of your special pet. Carefully printed and framed, this unique memorial can be displayed as a permanent reminder of your beloved animal companion, with a translation provided to be sure all the shades of meaning come across.
Why Latin? So many moving elegies expressing love and mourning have been written by Classical poets, keeping the memory of those they wrote about fresh across the centuries. An original Latin tribute gives weight and dignity to a brief life, emphasizing the value and importance of the pet in their owner’s eyes.
The basic cost for an eight-line personalized Latin tribute, printed on quality paper and framed, is $65 plus mailing costs. You also have the option of ordering just the printed tribute and translation unframed for $45.00 if you prefer to provide your own frame.

Some Sample Tributes
Translation
Latte was a brown and white guinea pig
She was the sister of Sammi
She was loved by Fiona and her family
On the ground she was fearful, being prey; in her mistress’s lap she was comforting
She was soft, gentle, and warm
She used to squeak, scurry, and snuggle
On Persephone’s lap may she forever eat blueberries
Reader, do not despise the little ones, for they too have souls
In Memory of Latte
Please note that if you choose a double frame, one side will be left empty so that you can insert a favorite photo there.

In Praise of Aerie Born April 29,2008
Aerie is a tan dog, part pug, part schnauzer.
She is a friend of Rascal.
She is loved by Jessica, Avryl, Craig, Judi
She is similar to a small horse, with large brown eyes
She begs for food, she trembles at strangers, she obeys her masters
She likes to play ball, walk far, and chase prey
Her fur, having been shed widely like rain, will remain for a long time
Now she sings, barking, for birthdays; someday she will bark with singing angels
Translation
In Memory of Chelsea
1972-1989
Chelsea was a cat, large and striped
She was loved by Janey, Michael, Leigh, and their family
She was the replacement sister when Leigh went to college
She was fluffy, beautiful in face, large in haunches
She pounced, she filed, she traveled widely
Sitting on the refrigerator, she would smack faces
Now in heaven may she finally catch a bird
It is good to be fierce when young, gentle in old age
