Pet memorial books

A pet memorial book that holds who they actually were

Not a plaque, not a certificate. A proper hardback storybook we've written for a pet who is gone, illustrated on every page as your own — the muddy paws, the stubbornness and the ridiculous joy. Something that can be taken off a shelf and read, years from now. Make one for your own pet, or as a sympathy gift for someone who has lost theirs.

  • Available for dogs and cats — illustrated and reviewed for each
  • Written in a gentle register, safe to read aloud to children
  • Their name on the cover and your dedication inside
  • The person they belonged to is painted alongside them — we ask for a few photos after the £1 unlock
  • Nothing prints until you approve the proof
  • See a free preview before you decide

How we remember them

We've written the story. Every page is painted as your own pet, from your photos, with their name on the cover and in the story, and your dedication inside.

Thank You for Every Day

A heartfelt thank-you for the ordinary moments, lifelong devotion and love they gave each other.

How a memorial book is different

The book is the same object as our celebration books — same hardcover, same 15 double-page spreads — but almost every editorial decision changes.

  • Where the story lives. Nearly all of it stays in the good years: the welcome, the name, the food, the walks, the game, the things only they did. The ending isn't circled for twenty pages.
  • The closing spreads. Your pet reaches the goodbye in their own words, then the voice hands over to you: one spread thanking them for trusting you, and a final spread in afternoon light that closes on “You were here. You were loved. You will always be part of me.”
  • Language. Gentle, but not evasive. No euphemism, no clinical bluntness, no religious framing, and never any mention of illness, cause, age or date.
  • Dedication. You can write two lines, or a name and a date. Both are right.

If you don't know where to start

You only need their name and a few photos. The words are already written, and you can add a dedication if you want one.

Making one for someone else? Ask them first, and borrow a few clear photos from a family member.
