English Country Pet Graveyard Service

The online Cat only virtual cemetery

(PRWEB) September 23, 2004 -- Have you recently lost a cat? A new service billed as the 'next generation virtual cemetery' has been set up by 2 brothers in the United Kingdom. Using Professional Photography to create a stunning backdrop, cat owners can create their own memorial and personalise it to provide a fitting tribute to their departed Cat and aid them in the grieving process.

Features of the site include:
- No advertising on the site to help create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
- Choice of English countryside backdrops and headstones
- Choice of music and flowers
- 50% of profits go to Cat Charities in the USA and the UK

The idea came from the loss of a much loved cat, and it was realised that there were very few quality sites to go to, to pay a tribute to your deceased cat. The importance of pet bereavement was recently highlighted in the UK press in an article which contained the statistic that 127 million is lost to industry each year from people taking time off work due to the death of a pet.

Also, in talking to cat owners, it was clear that a cat dying was very much like losing part of the family. Children are often exposed to this as their first encounter with mortality and can be especially upsetting.

The idea was to create a permanent lasting online memorial, which may help the owner and the family come to terms with the grieving process, by all involving themselves in the creation of a fitting tribute. It is readily accessible and the cost is just $25, which is approximately a tenth of the cost of using a pet cemetery.

By using the service, cat lovers can additionally make their donation to cat charities as 50% of the profits will be donated to relevent UK and US based cat charities.
