PRESS RELEASE Pet Memorials launched by Haddonstone Haddonstone, the UK’s leading manufacturer of fine cast stone garden ornaments, is launching a unique range of Pet Memorials at the GLEE exhibition in September. Exceptionally crafted, yet unobtrusive, each design provides both a beautiful ornament and a discreet receptacle for a cherished pet’s cremated remains. The Haddonstone Memorials range comprises the following designs:

o Memorial Vase and Pedestal o Memorial Bird Bath and Pedestal o Memorial Classical Sundial and Pedestal o Memorial Celestial Sundial and Pedestal

To personalise each memorial a stone inscription panel is recess fixed into the pedestal. This is supplied inclusive of a cut inscription detailing a name and years of birth and death. Additional characters can be inscribed, if practical. Alternatively, should a comprehensive inscription be required, a high quality laminate plaque can be fixed. There are a number of other decorative design items that can be provided. These include: photograph plaques and flowers etc. Haddonstone also has a comprehensive range of other conventional garden ornaments, bench seats, fountains, obelisks and much more. What a Haddonstone Pet Memorial offers Cremated remains can be too precious to contemplate immediate final disposal by scattering as there is often a lack of time to adjust to the loss. Scattering also leaves those grieving without a focal point. Haddonstone’s Pet Memorials provide the perfect solution and are designed to be used as a normal garden ornament yet, with a subtle inscription added, can provide a tasteful memorial piece and can be placed in a pet’s favourite area of the garden. Should the memorial need to be relocated at a

future time, or an additional Poly-Urn added, this is easily done and if, through the passage of time, you wish to scatter the remains, the memorial can still be retained as a decorative item.
