Beautiful ways to keep your companion close — hand-finished with care in the North East.
When you lose a companion, their physical presence disappears from your home — the sound of their paws, the weight of them on the sofa, the familiar nudge of a nose. Memorial products bridge that gap. They give you something to hold, to look at, to touch — a tangible reminder that your companion was real and the bond you shared matters.
Memorial products are made by independent craftspeople — not mass-produced imports. Whether a hand-turned oak casket, a paw-print keepsake, or a sterling silver pendant, each item is crafted with care.
You don't need to decide straight away. Many families choose memorial products days or even weeks after the cremation. Ask the participating crematorium whether it retains a small ash sample for memorial jewellery. Take your time — there's no rush, no pressure, and certainly no script.
Solid oak-effect caskets included as standard with individual cremation. Upgrade to a hand-turned solid oak casket by a local woodworker — with a smooth, warm finish. Suitable for display at home or burial. Ask for upgrade pricing when you enquire.

A clay impression of your companion's paw — taken with care before cremation, then kiln-fired and finished with your companion's name and dates. A tangible, permanent reminder.

A sterling silver pendant that holds a tiny trace of ash — sealed invisibly within the piece. Wear them close to your heart, always. Subtle and elegant — no one needs to know what it holds unless you tell them.

A biodegradable tube for scattering ashes in a favourite place — a walk you loved, a garden they slept in, a view they barked at. Included as standard; choose scattering instead of a casket at no extra cost.
Included
A polished brass plaque engraved with your companion's name and chosen dates. Can be fixed to a casket, mounted on a garden stone, or kept separately. Hand-engraved by a local artisan.

A double-aperture frame — one side for your favourite photo, one side for the paw-print keepsake. Hand-finished wood. A complete memorial piece for your home.

You can request memorial products at any stage of the cremation process — there's no deadline and no pressure to decide immediately.
Memorial products are supplied by independent craftspeople and listed for reference in the North East — not mass-produced imports. Every piece is made to order with attention and respect.
You don't have to decide about memorial products when you first get in touch. Many families choose later, after the cremation, when they've had time to think. Ask the participating crematorium about retaining an ash sample and taking paw prints.
If you change your mind, just let us know. If you'd like to add something later, that's fine too.
If you have something specific in mind — a particular wood, an inscription, a custom piece — talk to us. Memorial craftspeople are usually willing to accommodate special requests and we'll quote you honestly before any work begins.
