Pets of all kinds certainly have the ability to strike a deep emotional chord within us. And while taxidermy has survived as an art in helping some of the millions of pet owners in the US to keep their beloved animals into perpetuity, many processes we never imagined changing are in fact doing so due to 3D printing and other technological advances. And while there are numerous options for preserving the memories of your pet from stuffing it to freeze-drying its body — or just the conventional picture in a frame — there is now a more streamlined method for treasuring your memories, thanks to Foreverence Pets.
Foreverence, based in Minnesota, is offering a 3D printing service to all of those who want to carry their pets into posterity with a ceramic 3D printed urn or keepsake that is specific to the animal, remembering them in a particular way or doing an activity like catching a Frisbee.
Many find that a memorial such as one of Foreverence’s 3D printed pieces is a way to work through and ease out of the grief that often occurs after the passing of a pet — which can often be a crucial member of the family — and sometimes the most important. Remembering them in action is a great way to preserve their energy and personality, just as remembering them in 3D in a sleeping or resting pose is a serene way to pay tribute.
Founded in 2013, Foreverence has been in the business of creating custom urns and keepsakes. They have just rolled out their services for pets with Foreverence Pets, meant to add to their innovations in the funeral market and extend options to the many pet owners in the US who have many requests for ways to remember their pets after they are gone.
