Pet Memorials: Purchasing Products to Honor Your Cherished Pet The
tradition of pet memorials dates back to ancient Egypt, when grieving
pet owners mummified their cats, dogs, and other pets. These early
animal lovers believed firmly in honoring their loyal animal friends –
after mummification, Egyptian pets were often buried in dedicated pet
burial sites or entombed with their deceased owners.
Today, pet owners around the world still
memorialize their furry friends as the Egyptians did thousands of years
ago. Pet memorial products are loving reminders of a pet's gentle and
loyal spirit.
