PERSONALIZING YOUR PET’S EUTHABAG
Personalizing your pet’s bag alone or as a family can be a soothing ritual before saying your final goodbye to your companion. For children, it can facilitate acceptance of the animal’s departure and initiate the mourning process. They can also write a letter to their pet and put it in the bag, or place their pet’s favorite toy in the bag with them to accompany them across the rainbow bridge. It's a way for them to contribute to the process. Permanent markers & paint work wonderfully on the fabric.
Personalizing the bag in which our animals will rest is a nice way to honor them and give them one last gift.
See this beautiful video montage of our dear friend, Beth, along with her family who hosted a Farewell Party for her beloved Caspian.
All the family got together to say their goodbyes and decorate Caspian’s Euthabag together.
We hope it warms your heart as much as it did ours.
PLANTING A GARDEN OR CREATING A MEMORIAL
Creating a sanctuary for your deceased companion can be a very special way to honor them. Decorating this sanctuary and making it special can help the grieving process. Planting flowers or even a garden can be a great positive step for children during this transition. Every spring the flowers will bloom again, like a special ‘‘hello’’ from your beloved companion.
“When words are inadequate, have a ritual.”
CEREMONY AND FUNERALS
Burying your companion at home, where they spent most of their life, is a great way to pay tribute. Burying your pet yourself can be very peaceful and bring a feeling of closure. You can also do a ceremony with the members of your family where everyone can pay them one final tribute and decorate the grave. This provides an opportunity to share stories and positive memories of your unique companion and how they’ve impacted you.
Depending on the country, certain laws must be observed when the time comes to bury your pet or the ashes. Here’s everything you need to know about EUTHABAG’s ecology, and you can read our burial guide here.
