Giving Our Pets a Sweet Goodbye

Thinking about the day we have to say goodbye is such a tough subject for pet lovers, but it’s a sad fact of life that, sooner or later, we have to bid farewell to our best friends.

An Australian company called Sweet Goodbye is helping to ease that transition. They provide Pet Farewell Ceremony Kits for burial or cremation that include beautifully handcrafted, eco-friendly shrouds – i.e. soft pet caskets – along with a 24-page guidebook to help create your own special ceremony; a handmade heart and flower garland to tenderly adorn your pet; and a beautifully handcrafted Memorial Marker, hand-carved from upcycled wood.

This natural, biodegradable shroud keeps your pet safe and snug so they can be securely transported and laid to rest for burial or cremation. A strong, built-in ‘cradle’ makes lifting and carrying safe and easy while keeping your pet secure.

The Sweet Goodbye Cocoon® is available in wool or cotton, in a variety of colors and sizes from the smallest pocket pet to the largest dog. The Sweet Goodbye Cloud® is specifically for smaller pets like small cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc.

Sweet Goodbye has a strong belief in running an ethical, sustainable and environmentally friendly business, and they share part of all profits with animal welfare charities that share their values and philosophies regarding the care and treatment of all our animal friends.

Just as with any family member, it’s so important to plan ahead. To purchase a Sweet Goodbye Pet Farewell Ceremony Kit ahead of time, visit sweetgoodbyeforpets.com and use the code JOY10 for $10 off your order. They offer free or expedited shipping to both the USA and Australia.

When the inevitable happens, you’re able to say goodbye in a personal, respectful and dignified ceremony that honors your beloved friend and all the days you shared together. You’ll find greater peace knowing you gave your cherished pets the love and care they so deserved, right until the end.
