As a family, we celebrated holidays with our pets and always had them as a part of our family rituals. Is it acceptable to do the rituals that are important to us with other deaths in our family for our pets?

Incorporating rituals into honoring your pet’s life is a beautiful way to pay tribute to the life that you shared together. Whether it be a visitation or a memorial service, these rituals are incredibly important in your grief journey and mourning process.

There are other rituals that you can incorporate into honoring your pet’s life. They can look like:

Special readings
The planting of a tree/flower/bush
Rituals you and your pet did to say “I love you”
Scripture readings
A candle lighting tribute
A donation drive for a local shelter in memory of your pet
Reading of special poems and remembrances
Playing audio tapes of their meow/bark/chirp
Sharing videos of the pet and your family
Reading a eulogy to remember your pet’s life with your family
