There’s no doubt that losing a pet is a tremendously sad thing, and naturally you’re gonna want to memorialize your fuzzy friend. A burial in the backyard they used to roam or even a special urn are common ways to pay tribute to pets, but some pet owners believe they’re pet is so special that their remains deserve a more eccentric fate.
Do you miss your dog and have no regard for people who are allergic to fur? Have your dog’s fur knitted into a nice warm sweater like these people.

Somehow creeoier than cat rings, there’s a company out there that will take an imprint of your dog’s nose and encase it in silver. That way, you can always remember how frigid it felt when he would rub it against your elbow.

I’m not at all surprised to learn that people would tattoo their pet’s face to their bodies, but using the ashes as ink seems like something a cult would do.

If you don’t want your pets’ ashes permanently needled into you, you can also just have them painted into a picture and hung up on a wall. Apparently, there are artists that specialize specifically in this.

There’s a company that makes urns that essentially take the likeness of your pet and contorts his shape into that of a Furby. I’m told it’s very popular with the kids.

A company called Soft Hearted Products will put your pet’s ashes in a pillow, effectively making it possible to cuddle up with their burned remnants of their flesh, just like old times.

Mickey here may look sound asleep, but he’s actually been dead for a several years. His family hired a company to freeze dry Mickey in an eternally restful position, which I’m sure is a very fun conversation visitors to the house have.

Nina Petre is a psychic who claims she can speak with deceased pets. The only problem is that she can’t vocally communicate their words and has to send them out via email.
