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."
