Our signature ash-into-stone Afterstone collection
Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature ash-into-stone bestseller exceeds all expectations.
Our Afterstone ash-into-stone memorial pieces are handmade from up to 50 grams of your pet's ashes. Smooth velvety-like feeling solo pebbles, pebble sets or hearts that you can hold in your hand. We also create teddy bears as well as practical pieces, including vases, pots and trinket bowls for keeping their special items in – like their collar.
Afterstone pieces can be engraved with your pet's name. When you purchase an Afterstone piece, we handle it all.
We send out an ash collection kit and prepaid return packaging which is tracked and signed for to ensure your pet's ashes' safety. We let you know when we receive the ashes and keep you updated throughout.
Our robust compliant tracking and documentation process ensures that your pet's ashes can not be mixed up with others. Simply click the Afterstone link below to learn more.
Personalised pet memorial stone
Marking your pet's final resting place
An engraved memorial stone gives you somewhere to go to remember your beloved pet – be it a dog, cat, rabbit, hamster, horse, sheep or something more exotic. Select your own wording. If you want something special or bespoke, please message us; we are only too happy to help.
Our natural river stones, sourced from the UK, are engraved in Devon with your chosen words, a name, the years, a small icon or the phrase that was theirs alone.
Natural river stone needs no maintenance: the engraving lasts outdoors through every season, year after year, weathering beautifully.
They suit a pet burial or ash-scattering spot, be that a favourite corner of the garden, the gateway they waited at, a favourite hack you both enjoyed or the place you scattered their ashes. From £25, with prompt UK shipping.
If you are stuck on the words, our guide to pet memorial stone wording may help. A name and a single line is often the best.
Pet urns: keeping them close
Available in a range of sizes, they offer a unique ceramic remembrance piece providing artisan quality and timeless British design.
Some people know straight away that they want their pet's ashes to stay at home. Our hand-thrown pottery urns are made for exactly that: quiet, beautiful pieces that sit on a shelf or windowsill and simply belong there, without announcing what they hold. Each one is individually thrown, so no two are quite the same, and they coordinate with our candles and wider memorial range.
