How We Can Help
Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy. When that loved one is a treasured pet, the loss is no less real. We’re here to help you immortalise the beautiful memories you have of your pet.
We understand that you’re not just looking for a product or an ornamental piece. Your memorial is your connection to your departed pet and has a value far beyond any price tag. It’s because of this that we take such care over every item we produce. Whichever option you choose, we will ensure that your finished memorial is as good as it can possibly be.
Any pictures you supply will not just be copied – They will be professionally edited, enhanced, and reproduced onto your memorial. This can include Colour and Brightness Correction, Red-Eye Removal, Background Fading/Changes, and even Restoration in some cases.
What We Will Do For You
At Pets Held Dear – You can create your own FREE Virtual/Online Pet Memorial and share it with friends. They can leave messages on your page and light a candle.
In addition to this we have a unique design studio that’s simple to use and allows you to create your very own custom Slate Pet Memorial Stone/Plaque. You can choose different backgrounds, Poems, and add your own words and pictures. But it doesn’t stop there. Once we receive your design we’ll then professionally edit your pictures to ensure they are as good as they can be (unless you ask us not to). We’re very careful in our editing process to ensure that we never take away from the natural look of your photo. We believe that subtlety is key.
In short – We’ll do everything we can to make sure that your memorial is a not only a beautiful tribute to your pet, but that it triggers your fondest memories every time you see it.
Our Process
When you use our step-by-step Memorial Designer, you can easily create your own stunning memorial. You can choose from a selection of beautiful backgrounds, poems, and verses. Some of these are well-known (such as the “Paw Prints” poem), others have been specifically crafted by us and are not available anywhere else. Every order received goes through a thorough design process. Unless you ask us not to – Your design will be carefully reviewed and professionally edited to enhance it in the best way possible. There’s no blanket approach and we don’t apply the same edits to every photo. Each one is completed on an individual basis. This helps to ensure that you receive a stunning memorial you will treasure forever.
Only once we are 100% percent satisfied that we bought out the best in your photo will we move on to the actual production stage.
For Best Results
In every case we will always reproduce your picture in the highest quality possible. This can include all kinds of improvements from correcting colour and brightness through to photo restoration.
However, in this digital world of photo-sharing there are things you can do to help.
Most cameras and smartphones are capable of taking high quality pictures. But it’s important to understand that when you share your photos either via text message/email or on sites such as Facebook and Twitter, your picture is “compressed” – The quality is reduced.
Where possible, please always use the original photo for your memorial to ensure the highest quality. We’d also ask you to watch the instructional video shown at the top of the online designer.

I received my slate memorial plaque of my cat Sasha today we love it. Thank you john for your kind words and the great job you did. I will be passing your good work on to my friends and family thank you again.
I purchased a beautiful memorial plaque with my beloved dog benny on it & a heartwarming poem which brings tears to my eyes every time I read it ,I paid via my friend but would recommend to absolutely everybody & will certainly purchase many more items from this wonderful site x many thanks
We received your memorial plaque in the post yesterday and it exceeded our expectations. This cat was a stray which had been around for some time but no-one new who he belonged to. He eventually came to our house in the winter and slept in the house every night and we would feed him. After several months my wife noticed he was looking unwell and took him to the vet, they said he had a serious heart condition and that he would have to have tablets. They found out he had been chipped and contacted his owners but they had not seen him for 18 months, he had been living rough for this time and they did not want him back. After a few weeks we thought he had not improved after having the tablets, my wife took him back to the surgery and was told his condition had deteriorated greatly over the past week when they had seen him last and he was now in pain. He subsequently had to be put down. We were devastated, he was only 4yrs old and had a very bad life. He was a beautiful cat with a really friendly nature especially considering the life he had led. We still expect to see him turn up outside. We feel really sad that we could do nothing to help him. We can’t explain why we should feel so deeply for a cat that was a stray, I think possibly it is because he chose us and not the other way about. We wan’t to keep him alive in our memories and your plaque is a fitting tribute. Once again I would like to thank you for creating something special for us and I am really glad I found your page on the internet.

We received our plaque today and are very pleased how it has turned out. We lost our german shepherd, Cassie, aged only 6, suddenly last month despite her having got over a big operation last Christmas. She was a beautiful gentle dog and was a massive part of our family. We bought the plaque to mark her grave in the garden and it is perfect – a lovely memorial for our special girl! Brilliant service and communication would definitely recommend and would use again! Many thanks.
