Paw Prints, Clay Impressions & Fur Cuttings

 

  It will take a little extra time to take a nice print for you & if you opt for the clay impression this will take an additional few days to dry.

This will extend the time it takes to prepare & return the ashes (if you have chosen individual cremation).

 

Paw Print –  £35 per paw

A paw print may be taken using a permanent ink.  You will receive the actual piece of paper your pet has touched. You will also receive copies of both the original paw print and a print that has been digitally enhanced to remove any marks left by fur, etc.

Both prints are then scanned, turned into jpeg files & can be emailed to you. You will then be able to save or reprint these as many times as you like.

Please note the original paw print may fade over time if exposed to light.

Sadly this does not create a good image with reptiles, birds or rabbits, the clay impression below, gives a much clearer image with these types of pets

Clay Impression –  £35 per paw.

A paw impression is pressed into modelling clay. The paw is firmly pressed into a hand rolled block of clay, the clay is then trimmed and air dried.

The finished clay discs are extremely strong so there is very little danger of any future damage. They are left in the natural white clay for you to decorate if you wish.

These create a better image for those with reptiles, birds & rabbits that would like a lasting paw memento of their pet.

Fur Cutting – The First Sample is Free.

Any additional cuttings are £5 each.

You may like us to take a lock of hair as a reminder of your beautiful pet. You can choose the spot this is taken from, for example, that soft bit of hair behind his ear or on his tummy. With very short haired pets we gently use clippers, so we can get a nice sample, without any risk of harming the pet. This can be presented in one of our keepsakes, or just safely in an envelope. 

Engraved Plates & Plaques

We use a Times Roman font on a brass coloured high-quality vinyl. The plate is engraved through to a black core. The overall effect is a softer, warmer looking plate with clear & easy to read lettering. The joy of using a vinyl is it stays looking beautiful for years & will not tarnish like a metal or brass plate can.

 

engraved plates with inscriptions

Individual cremation options 4, 6, 7, 8 & 15 include an engraved plate, with the pets name (only) included free of charge. Additional engraving will be charged at 25p per character. 

Plates may be purchased separately or added to options 5, 9s, 9L 13A & 13B for £6 + lettering.

Exterior memorial plaques are approximately 5″ x 3″ and can contain 4 or 5 short lines of text. These are ideal for placing in the communal memorial area or placing in your pets favourite spot in the garden at home. Orders by email are ideal for providing correct spellings & preferred layout.

Exterior plaques are available in gold with black lettering supplied complete with the stake. £38 ea
