The Pet Rock is more than just a memorial—it's an exquisitely crafted monument born from our family's memorial heritage since 1965. Using the same professional techniques and premium granite found in prestigious cemeteries, we permanently capture your pet's portrait in stone with our superior diamond-impact engraving.
While others offer thin 3/8" plaques that can fade or break, your pet deserves better. Our substantial 2-inch thick granite memorial, secured on a matching 4-inch wide base, provides the permanence and dignity their memory deserves. This unique design, with its natural rock-face texture and polished surfaces, ensures your tribute will stand proudly for generations to come.

Heartfelt Words from Pet Parents
Just received the memorial this morning. It’s perfect and brought tears to my eyes. I feel so much better that I have this to honour my best friend with. Bunny was rescued 10 years ago from slaughter. She was just a forgotten horse no one wanted. She turned into the most beautiful thing in my life. Thank you for your amazing work and service. She will never be forgotten again.

Brulee’s Grave Marker arrived this week much fast than expected. I think it turned just awesome. The photo engraving absolutely captures the essence and beauty of Brulee. The image is so clear that it looks like a black and white photograph. It took me a long time to find a grave marker as thick and as high quality as Furever Memorials. Most of the other markers online were 3/8” slate or ceramic and would break if a lawn mower or a person would walk over it. I was so happy when I found Furever Memorials with such thick and robust granite pieces. The price was extremely competitive for such quality workmanship. Jean worked with me to get the perfect photo, saying, and stone shape that would honor Brulee the best. None of the competitors could even come close. It only took 2 weeks from the time that I placed the order until Brulee’s marker arrived at my door. Unbelievable turnaround time. I will always be grateful to Furever Memorials for providing such a beautiful marker for my beloved pet and longtime friend.

On the day we had to put our beloved Bernese Mountain Dog Tyson down, we began searching for a suitable memorial. We wanted to be able to capture an image of Ty on the stone, but ceramic tiles and laser etching seemed to fade with time. In contrast, we discovered that Furever Memorials uses diamond impact engraving, which provides a deep, permanent image. I contacted Jean Cote and sent him a sketch of our idea. Within two days we reviewed a proof of the engraving by email and placed the order. Jean completed the engraving two days later and we just received the beautiful memorial which exceeded our expectations. Thanks Jean!!

If you’re looking for something to remember your pets by, this is definitely the best option. Corresponding via email, Jean completely understands the loss of a pet, and how heartbreaking it can be. He really listens to your experience, and you can tell he puts his passion into his work. In other words, it’s clear to me that this is more than just a business to him. I took his advice and picked the best photo I could find of my dog, that gave me the happiest of memories. My choice of photo was also based on the quality of the photo and how its detail would be transferred to the stone, which I was informed was very important for the final product. It turned out amazing, everyone that sees it wants one too. I can not express in words how much this marker has soften the untimely departure of a dear friend, and how much this means to our family.

Crafted with Care, Built to Last
Personalized Design Process
• Expert Photo Enhancement
• Custom Layout Design
Creating a beautiful memorial begins with careful preparation. Our artists skillfully convert your cherished photo into an engraving-ready design, optimizing every detail to ensure the best possible results in granite. What looks perfect on a computer screen needs expert translation to become a stunning stone engraving—this is where our artistic expertise makes all the difference. Each image is individually hand-edited to enhance contrast, adjust lighting, and emphasize the details that made your pet unique.
This meticulous process can take up to a week, as we carefully prepare both the portrait and layout to ensure every element will engrave beautifully. Before any engraving begins, you'll receive a detailed preview of your memorial for approval, showing exactly how your tribute will appear in stone. We won't proceed until you're confident the design perfectly captures your pet's spirit—because creating the perfect memorial is as important to us as it is to you.
Superior Diamond-Impact Engraving
• Permanent Deep Etching
• Precision Detail
Unlike standard laser etching that merely skims the surface, we use professional diamond-impact technology to physically etch your pet's portrait deep into the granite. This specialized technique creates permanent, detailed impressions that will never fade or deteriorate, preserving every nuance from the sparkle in their eyes to the finest fur details.
Drawing from decades of memorial expertise, we carefully control the depth and precision of each strike, ensuring perfect detail reproduction. This method, traditionally reserved for high-end cemetery monuments, creates an engraving you can actually feel with your fingertips—a tangible connection to your cherished companion that will endure for generations.

Leonard M.
The quality of the finished product was nothing short of perfect. I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking to honour their pet.
Doug M.
Excellent quality and timeframe satisfactory.
Paul T.
The quality of our Rustic memorial for our beloved Rossi is amazing. The image of Rossi on the granite was so clear. The entire process from picking the right memorial, ordering, approving the proof, manufacturing, and shipping were seamless. Jean was a true professional who has this entire process down to a science. But what I admired most was that Jean puts his heart and soul into these memorable pet memorials because he also knows what it is like to lose your beloved friend. Thanks Jean!!!
Becky A.
My pet memorial I received was the most beautiful memorial stone I’ve every saw for my Abby. The quality engraving and design was just remarkably beautiful.
Kerry M.
Our pet memorial stone is beautiful!!. Jean’s design and craftsmanship was what we envisioned and more.
Brandi K.
It’s perfect!

We have received Alfie’s memorial and it is absolutely beautiful – thank you so much! It is just amazing and means so much to us, we can’t express just how grateful we are – it is perfect. Our request was rather bespoke as Furever Memorials do not normally deliver to the UK (only Canada & the US) but Jean went out of his way to accommodate and ensure that he could create the perfect memorial for our beloved little Alfie.
We were devastated at the loss of our 16 year old Jack Russell, and had looked online to find somewhere that could create a fitting memorial stone for his favourite spot in the garden. We just couldn’t find anywhere that offered what we were looking for until we came across Jean and Furever Memorials.
From beginning to end the process was flawless, Jean was so kind and helpful in ensuring the design was just what we wanted and his skill and craftsmanship is astounding, absolutely second to none. He truly understood how important this was to us and went out of his way to help. The memorial stone is beautiful, so well-crafted and detailed – Alfie’s picture looks like a black and white photograph and truly captures his expression and personality.
The price was extremely reasonable considering the level of skill and craftsmanship involved. The Customer service and overall service was second to none. Even though the product had several thousand miles to travel via courier and there is always that element of nervousness that there may be some damage in transit due to handling of the not insubstantial 55lb weight of the memorial during the journey, amazingly the stone arrived relatively unscathed. Jean had assured that he would protect the memorial appropriately and he really, really did.
The package itself arrived quite quickly but the outer packaging was quite damaged and torn- no doubt due to the due to the long journey and probable challenging handling, it had been retaped up on one side by the Couriers and was actually torn open on one corner so you could see the inner packaging.
I was a little worried when opening but Jean had packaged and protected the memorial so incredibly well that apart from some minor scuffing that was barely noticeable and wiped away- the memorial looked perfect and was everything we hoped for and more- truly exceeded all expectations. The craftsmanship of the engraving is incredible, it really is a work of art and we were quite emotional seeing such a beautiful, timeless memorial to our little Alfie- such a lovely way to commemorate his life.
We really cannot recommend Jean and Furever Memorials enough if you are seeking a way to commemorate the life of a beloved pet.
It is clear that this is more than just a business to Jean, his empathy and understanding made a difficult, sad situation that little bit easier and we are beyond grateful to him for creating such a beautiful memorial to such a loyal, loving little pup who spent 15 years in our family but left his mark forever.
Nathan R.
Everything was 100% the best of the best !!! Made me so happy.
Hannah D.
The design came out wonderfully. I asked for a few revisions before it got engraved and I am happy with the outcome.
Shannon L.
From beginning to end, the entire process was flawless. Everything occurred exactly as was promised and to PERFECTION! I cannot express how grateful we are to have a beautiful memorial piece of our dog. She was loved as all pets should be. Her beautiful face is now in our garden under her favourite tree. Thank you so much!
Derek L.
Beautiful material and the likeness to the photo was immaculate. The likeness was amazing and I can easily see my cats features in the memorial. I am very happy with the outcome and service.
Allison M.
I definitely made the correct decision in entrusting Furever Memorials to manufacture a memorial for Sadie. It is more beautiful than anticipated and even captures the expression in her eyes.
Amanda M.
The headstone for my sweet Lexie is gorgeous. When I was sent the preview I cried because it was so beautiful. The stone is great quality and the engraving is perfect. The approval process was easy and they were nice enough to delay the engraving because my furbaby kept fighting and pulling through. Once she did pass away, I had the headstone within two weeks.
Steve K.
Very professional and sincere service from start to finish. Was pleasantly surprised to see my vision on paper was what I actually received. Not sure what I was expecting but the beautiful stone certainly exceeded all my wishes. You can feel confident that you are in the right place.
Stacie C.
The memorial is absolutely beautiful. I love it! Thank you so much!

I’m very happy with the final product. The process was great, and they even made some adjustments to the photo before etching for me. I had the product much faster than I ever anticipated, even with customs. Thank you 💜

This memorial matched so well with my son’s memorial- we have images on both and they mirror each- so delighted having my boy and his cat so well together.
Pam M.
Thank you so much for this beautiful memorial stone! I came out so wonderful. It was very Emotional for me to open the box. I placed it in the garden as he loved being with me while I did garden work and he loved to smell flowers.
Chantal B.
The engraving for Peanut’s memorial stone is incredible. We sent them a high-res photo and they make the necessary adjustments to it to make for the best engraving possible (like highlighting his whiskers). We have placed the stone in our garden and I look at it everyday to remember what a special dog Peanut was. Thank you so much!
Angela P.
Our memorial came out beautifully. Even though we gave a photo that wasn’t optimal, it turned out exactly as we’d hoped. The process to communicate and approve was very timely and easy. We were very happy with how quickly we received the memorial. Jean was very empathetic and compassionate to us during a very difficult time after the passing of our dear boy, Bandit. We would definitely recommend Jean!

Jean was absolutely wonderful during the entire process. When I received my memorial, I was taken aback by how beautiful it was. The design and shading for my all black dog on all black granite was a task in itself and Jean made it look flawless. It was above and beyond all of my expectations for a pet memorial.
Cheryl Bacon
It is all I hoped for and then some. So comforting to see that sweet face every day. Highly recommend Jean. Work is excellent and turn around time very short. Thank you Jean.

Kind and caring from start to finish The design approval process was very easy and we were able to have a bit of editing done to the portrait with no problem at all. We were notified a few days later that it was done and shipped and it arrived on our doorstep a few days later in perfect condition. The memorial stone took my breath away, it was beautiful and so much more than I had hoped The care and kindness was genuine and I will recommend using Furever Memorials to everyone.

The memorial I chose was a black granite heart with a picture of my beloved cat, Lucky. The attention to detail in their approval process is phenomenal and changes are so easy, and they are so accommodating, as well as compassionate. Price was great. It’s a beautiful testament to a wonderful cat who brought me so much joy. Thank you, Jean!

Lori C.
Our Friend ordered one and it was beautiful. This is a gift for our friend that keep saying we miss Wylie so much everyday!
Natasha H.
We were so heartbroken when it was time to let our little girl go. She came to us through a rescue as a palliative senior. A few months of care and love and she showed us her incredible spunky personality and stamped her mark on our hearts. We enjoyed a wonderful two years with her brining joy to our home.
Jean from Furever memorials created a beautiful remembrance marker that my family is beyond grateful to have. The ordering process was easy, clear and his prices were very reasonable. He was very honest about limitations with our design request but worked with us to create the perfect memorial. He was always very professional but still caring and gentle with his communications. Our family highly recommends Furever Memorials to celebrate the life of beloved pet in such a beautiful and timeless way.
Robyn Hallet
The memorial I commissioned was top quality, just as you would expect to find for a person. It was exactly what I was looking for, offering both the perfect size and quality. The design and approval process was exceptionally quick and easy. Communication was prompt and excellent. I expected to wait months for something like this, and pay thousands of dollars. It was so affordable and in no time at all I had my beautiful memorial. It is perfect! The picture is stunning and engraving is exactly how I wanted it. Thank you so much Jean!

I am extremely pleased with my memorial stone created by Jean of Furever Memorials. The quality of the engraving is excellent, and the portrait of my Emma is beautiful. It is exactly how I envisioned it, and it now has a very special place in my garden. Jean has incorporated a process so you have an opportunity to see a mock-up prior to production. He remains committed to his timeline for completion. A great experience working with Jean on my beautiful memorial that I will cherish forever!
Andy W.
Kept up to date through the whole process & the quality was excellent.
Kyle K.
Thank you so much for the memorial you did for Boston. From start to finish you were extremely helpful. We had some major tears when we laid it to rest in the garden, but it looks amazing and for that we are super grateful. Thank you. 5/5*
Jill L.
My husband found this website after our dog passed away. He was googling memorials for pets and came upon this site. He looked over the site and then reached out to Jean for further information. Jean responded very quickly. We had a few questions about the process and Jean was very helpful. Unfortunately, due to supply chain issues, there was no granite available at the time. About a month later, Jean reached out to let us know the stone was in. Once we submitted photos and our memorial words, the process went very fast. Our stone arrived this week and to say we are happy is an understatement. The quality of the stone, the beautiful engraving, and the likeness to the photo of our sweet Apollo was absolutely incredible. We plan to eventually create a spot in the yard for his memorial stone but for the winter, it’s staying inside on our hearth. It’s a work of art.
Frank T.
We are very pleased with Tessa’s memorial. The quality is better than we expected. The design and approval process was quick and delivery was very fast. We look forward to placing Tessa’s memorial in our yard this spring.
Jenn W.
I would like to start with the design process! I had a special request to put music notes on the memorial, so I had to write it in, and was not really sure if I had described it well enough- but a proof came through and you nailed it! The quality is stunning, my Moses’ photo turned out spectacular! The stone itself is gorgeous. The timeline/process was expedient, and the shipping was timely. I was very emotional when I opened it, it’s a work of art- fitting for my departed best friend. Your product exceeded my expectations! Thank you for my FURever Memorial.
Carol B.
Everything was perfect! The pre-approval of the draft was a thoughtful. The draft itself was amazing which was a perfect match of the memorial I received. The quality and craftsman ship was much more that I anticipated (perfect). The complete process was quick and easy without jeopardizing the quality of the product. And customer service was A1. It was a definite pleasure doing business with you. I will not say I look forward to doing business again with you, but you definitely have my business when the unfortunate time comes.

Jean’s compassion and quality of service have surpassed all of our expectations! During the weeks after Zen passing, Jean designed a memorial for our beloved pup that both captured Zen’s spirit and brightened our hearts during some very difficult days. Jean’s craftsmanship has left an indelible mark on our family and he will be our go to for all future family memorials.
