Pet memorials: ways to remember a pet

A pet memorial is anything that keeps a pet's memory close, such as a garden stone, a plaque, a printed photo or an online page. Many families pair something they can touch with a place to keep every photo and video, where relatives can add their own.

Kinds of pet memorial

  • A marker: a garden stone or a plaque where you buried them, or at a place they loved.
  • Something for the home: an urn, a framed photo, a clay paw print or their collar in a shadow box.
  • Something living: a tree or a bed of flowers you can return to each year.
  • Something for others: a donation or volunteer time at a shelter in their name.
  • A memorial page: one place for the photos and videos spread across everyone's phones, along with letters from the people who loved them.

There's more detail in our list of dog memorial ideas, and most of them work for any pet.

A real example: Ollie

“Ollie was my best friend, my best man.”

Morgan, from a letter to Ollie, 2026

Ollie was the first LifeRepeat page. His family sorted their home videos into collections like The hose and Fetch, and his two letters sit at the top of the page, one from Morgan and one from Haley. LifeRepeat grew out of that page. See the demo to look through a page like it.

Why a page helps

Most of a pet's life ends up on phones: short videos, blurry photos, the ones nobody posted. Your partner, your kids and the neighbor who watched them on vacation each have different ones. A shared page brings them together while people still remember to look.

What a LifeRepeat page includes

  • Photos and videos, grouped into collections you name, with favorites at the top
  • A cover photo behind their name
  • Letters from you and your family, shown side by side
  • A link and a QR code to share with family and friends
  • Someone else who can help manage the page, if you'd like the company

Phone photos carry the location where they were taken. We remove that from every upload, since these pages are shared. You can create a page for free.

Common questions
