ILovedMyPet.com Online Pet Memorial Service helps grieving pet owners
October 23, 2003 -- The loss of a pet can be one of the
most stressful moments of a person’s life. When a faithful companion of 10 years
or more passes away, the feeling of loss can be more profound than the loss of a
family member.
It is however difficult to find the most suitable tribute
to a lost pet. Funeral services for animals and pet cemeteries are starting
to spring up around the country, but are still considered to be a little
“out there” for most people. On the other hand, digging a hole in the
backyard does not display the level of reverence worthy of man’s best
friend.
Many people are turning to the internet to share their
sentiments for a lost pet. The gathering of old photographs and writing of
verses is proving to be a cathartic experience for many visitors to
ILovedMyPet.com.
Already, since the launch earlier this month many hundreds
of pet lovers have created personalized memorials for anything from the
family dog, to a pet iguana or snake. Any visitor to the site can quickly
see the outpouring of love and emotion expressed in each memorial, and the
benefits gained from the process of creating these tributes.
To create a memorial, visitors step through a simple
question and answer wizard, customizing the look and uploading text and
images. No web experience is required. Memorials can then become a permanent
home page for a loving pet.
Although memorials can be created at no charge, larger
memorials, and more permanent tributes are also available for a small fee to
cover maintenance costs. From these payments, all proceeds from
ILovedMyPet.com are being donated to the Humane Societies of the U.S. and
Canada.
“We are very surprised with the response to the launch of
ILovedMyPet.com.” explains CEO Tim Hewson. “The number of visitors has been
overwhelming, and the feedback that we are receiving from individuals has
been very heart warming. It is so difficult to find an appropriate tribute
to a pet, but an online memorial seems to be befitting of the life of a
close companion.”
