Pet Memorial Gifts
Framed pet memorial gifts handmade in the UK, from a personalised paw print halo and stairway to heaven to a portrait of their breed, finished in gold or silver leaf.
Pet memorial gifts from JP Designs are made to honour a much loved companion, gently and lastingly.
Each piece is framed, sculpted in raised 3D relief and finished in gold or silver leaf, handmade to order in the UK from £39.99 with free UK delivery.
About this collection
This Pet Memorial Gifts collection brings together framed remembrance pieces for dogs, cats and small pets. It includes the personalised paw print halo, the stairway to heaven, a cat paw halo, and a full range of breed portraits, so the memorial can be a symbol of remembrance or a portrait of the pet themselves.
Every artwork follows the JP Designs gallery format, with a black frame, white mount, glass front and a raised relief design set against a deep black background. Because each one is sculpted and gilded by hand, no two are quite identical, making a pet memorial frame that feels personal rather than mass-produced. You can read more in our guide to pet memorial 3D wall art.

Made to order
Handmade in the UK
Each framed piece is sculpted by hand in our UK studio, by a Crafts Council member.
The paw print halo and stairway to heaven
The personalised paw print halo is our most loved dog memorial, a single paw print beneath a halo with your dog's name in calligraphy. The stairway to heaven shows a dog walking up gentle steps towards the light, and for cats there is the cat paw halo, a quiet and poignant remembrance piece.
Sculpted in raised relief rather than printed, each symbol carries a depth and presence that a flat picture cannot, which is why these pieces are so often chosen as lasting memorials rather than everyday decor.
A portrait of the pet you remember
For many people, the most meaningful pet memorial is simply a portrait of their pet. Every breed portrait in this collection, from Labradors and French Bulldogs to Siamese and Bengal cats, can be personalised with a name and become a remembrance piece in its own right.
If your pet's breed is not here, or you would like their own likeness captured from a photograph, our custom pet portrait service creates a framed 3D relief memorial of your own pet.
Sympathy gifts for the loss of a pet
A framed memorial makes a meaningful sympathy gift for a friend or family member grieving a pet. At £39.99 to £49.99 with free UK delivery, these pieces are comfortably under £50, handmade in the UK, and dispatched in 1 to 4 working days.
We do not include prices in the package, so you can send a pet loss gift directly to the recipient at checkout with a personal touch they can keep. For more ideas, read our guide to dog memorial gifts in the UK.
Gold or silver leaf finish
Each design is available in a gold or silver leaf finish. Silver gives a softer, quieter look that many people choose for remembrance pieces, while gold gives a warm glow that feels like a celebration of a life well loved. Against the deep black background, both finishes catch the light as the day changes.
For help choosing between finishes, visit our Gold vs Silver Leaf Finish Guide.
Framed and ready to hang
JP Designs framed wall art measures approximately 33 × 33 cm overall, with a visible artwork area of around 19 × 19 cm. The square format sits gently in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and quiet corners, and every piece arrives ready to hang from a single picture hook. To see the frame size, visible artwork area and depth, view our Framing & Size Guide.

What is a good pet memorial gift?
A good pet memorial gift holds the pet's memory in a way the owner can live with every day. Framed pieces like a personalised paw print halo, a stairway to heaven or a portrait of their breed are gentle, lasting memorial ideas, and adding the pet's name in calligraphy makes the piece theirs alone.
What are meaningful sympathy gifts for the loss of a pet?
Meaningful sympathy gifts for pet loss acknowledge the pet as a family member. A framed, handmade memorial with the pet's name shows real thought, and because we do not include prices in the package, it can be sent directly to the person grieving with free UK delivery.
What is a good dog memorial gift?
The personalised paw print halo and the stairway to heaven are our most chosen dog memorial gifts, and a portrait of the dog's own breed, from a Labrador to a French Bulldog, personalised with their name, is just as loved. Each is handmade in the UK and framed ready to hang.
What is the rainbow bridge?
The rainbow bridge is a comforting idea from a much loved poem: a peaceful place where pets wait happily, restored and well, until they are reunited with their owners. It is often mentioned when a dog or cat passes away, and many people choose a memorial piece to mark their pet crossing the rainbow bridge.

Yes. Every design offers optional personalisation with your pet's name or dates in elegant handwritten calligraphy, added exactly as you would like it shown.
