You can order these special items alongside your cremation arrangements through your veterinarian or directly with us at Fond Farewells.
Reterniti Pet Stones
Reterniti is an innovation in pet afterlife. Your pet’s ashes are converted into a tasteful, discreet stone. Unlike ashes, you can hold your pet close after they have gone or keep them nearby. Place them in their special spot and if you move then they come with you. You never have to say goodbye.
> Reterniti Stone
Each handmade Reterniti Stone uses all your pets’ ashes combined with natural binders. Your pet’s name is laser etched on the top, the stone rests upon a bed of lambs wool which in turn sits on a wood plinth, nestled in a book cloth bound tube box. Reterniti Stones come in a number of sizes; each is sized for the pet type and weight.
> Reterniti Pebble
A Reterniti Pebble is a much smaller version of the full sized Reterniti Stone, about the size of a flattened golf ball. It uses a portion of your pets ashes, enabling multiple handheld mementos from your pets ashes. Each comes within a travel pouch inside an attractive sliding box. Share with family members or place the Reterniti Pebbles in numerous meaningful locations.
Memorial beads
Created by renowned glass artist Emily Lake, a small portion of your cherished pet’s ashes or fur is skilfully incorporated into the glass, creating a beautiful bead in the colour of your choice.
Choose from a necklace bead strung on a 50cm sterling silver chain or a bracelet bead suitable to thread onto most charm bracelets. Each bead is delivered in a presentation box and includes a certificate of authenticity.
Memorial glass paperweight
Paperweights preserve the cremation ashes of a beloved pet, crafting a lasting tribute that you can treasure forever. They are custom-crafted in your chosen colour and incorporate a small portion of your beloved pet’s ashes, elegantly swirled through the centre.
‘Keepsakes with Love’ jewellery
Designed and crafted in New Zealand, Keepsakes with Love have a range of sensitive memorabilia including pendants, rings and charms. Keepsakes can be filled with a small amount of your cherished pet’s ashes or a small sample of fur.
Pendants are supplied with a sterling silver chain. Keepsake Charms can be personalised with a special message, and/or stones, and fit all bead charm bracelets.
Bronze paws
Created by Jonathan Campbell of Created and Cast; your adored pet’s paw is cast in a mould before cremation and is then reproduced in sold bronze. The specialised technique of ‘lost wax’ – a process dating back 4000 years – creates a bronze paw with superb detail.
You can mount your special bronze creation on the wall, your urn, or place it on a desk, bookshelf or even use as a paperweight.
