Questions & Answers

A selection of our finest pet keepsakes, urns and classic products. Click the image to see them all

We get a lot of questions here at Pets At Rest. While we are happy to answer emails and telephone-calls until we are blue in the face, we also have to get on with creating stunning, cutting-edge memorials, urns and other things! So that's where our questions & answers blog post comes in. Read on to see some answers to some of the most common (and not so common) questions we get asked most weeks:

Do you do anything other than pet memorials? I'm not sure that's for me

A pet memorial isn't for everyone, we know that. Lack of space, issues with drainage and simple personal preference can mean a headstone isn't suitable. For those people we have a whole range of other options -- things like coffins, urns for pet ashes and even pet tributes made out of glass (along with pet stands to raise yours off the floor). Better still, if you haven't got a garden then that doesn't mean you have to feel left-out!

Can I have a photo put onto my memorial? If this is possible, can you tell me: are they good quality?

I want the image to really look like my beloved pet

In the past, we've seen some shocking photographs on pet memorials, so don't worry, this is not something we are a part of! In fact, our photo memorials use the latest technology to create an image that really looks like your pet. The quality is also good, allowing it to last for a long time without fading.

In terms of application, company founder Stuart Gebbie has been creating amazing pet memorials for many years. He studied art & design and also trained under the watchful eye of a master craftsman, so you know that he does it because he loves it -- not just because it's his job. The result is that Stuart understands how important attention-to-detail is when it comes to this kind of thing. With every memorial order that arrives on his desk, he spends the required time to make sure that the photo is as well-crafted as it should be.

I have a suggestion for you -- should I leave a comment on your blog, or should I telephone/email?

By all means feel free to telephone or email. Alternatively, we now have a special feedback area set-up for you, so why not drop by and leave your suggestion, comment or thoughts about how we can better our services? The feedback area serves a dual purpose, of course...if you are wondering what people are saying about the work we have done, then that's the place to go to!

Are the memorials easy to install?

They absolutely are. Just get in touch and we'll explain everything.

I'd like to keep in touch with latest updates, news and special offers...how can I do that?

We don't just do memorials for cats & dogs!

Everyone knows someone who has lost a pet, and with so many people owning cats and dogs, we're always hearing the sad news of a beloved pet passing.

But what about all the other animals people own? Where do you find a memorial for your horse, for example?

Here of course!  Since the beginning we've been looking after the legacies of all kinds of animals -- and we do mean all kinds. Here are a few things we've done in the past and we guarantee that at least one of them will surprise you.

1: Headstones for reptiles: believe it or not, people have come to us and asked us to create fitting memorials for lizards, snakes, mischievous turtles and thoughtful tortoises.

2: Pets At Rest have also produced headstones for ferrets and rats, as well as chinchillas, too.

3: We've done great-looking urns for Cockatoos also.

In fact, you name it and we have probably done it at some point. Not only that but we also do...

* Photo pet memorials

* Rustic stone pet memorials

* Bespoke text pet memorials

* Pet tribute keepsakes and pet coffins

Feel free to have a look around and if you need us, you know where we are.

Best wishes,

Team Pets At Rest.

You may have found this blog while looking for our web-site, www.petsatrest.co.uk, or maybe you've just stumbled across it after searching for a pet memorial specialist in the Cambridgeshire area. Either way, we hope you'll check back every so often to see what's new and what's coming up.

We won't go on about all that here, though, because all that information is available for you to see at the official web-site. Instead, here's a brief summary of what we do so you know what to expect when you do need a pet memorial or indoor pet tribute

***

1. A unique customer-first working ethos: we know that your pet matters to you as much as anything else in your life, so when it's their time to go we always try to do our best to make you happy with the best quality product possible. That means a reliable service from the moment you send us the art-work to the moment the piece arrives safely at your door in a timely fashion.
2. A range of different materials to choose from: granite, slate, glass and wood are all things we frequently handle -- and we like to think that the results speak for themselves. Have an interesting idea that sounds a bit unusual? We'd love to discuss it with you and see if we can make it happen.
3. A personal and efficient service that focuses on producing memorials that will stand the test of time: many of our products are made in-house. That way, we get to keep an eye on the quality - meaning the best customer satisfaction possible at a price which you can be happy with.
4. A prompt system so that the second you send us the order, you can be confident the job is in hand: within just 2 days you'll receive the art-work, giving you a much better idea of what the end result will be.
