A way to keep them close
When a pet passes away, they don't stop being part of the family. Our memorial embroidery is a small, gentle way to carry them with you — their portrait, stitched from your favourite photo, on something soft you can actually hold.
There's no rush, no pressure, and no deadline on this page. It's here whenever you're ready.
Stitched with care in the UK
Some keepsakes sit on a shelf. This one stays with you.
We've embroidered over 200,000 pet portraits, and the memorial ones are the orders our team takes the most care over. There's a reason people choose embroidery to remember a pet by.
Three best friends, stitched side by side
It's something you can feel
Thread has texture and depth. Running your fingers over their portrait is a small comfort that a photo on a phone can't give you.
It goes where you go
On the walks you used to do together, on the sofa where they slept, on the hard days. A wearable keepsake means they're with you, quietly.
It lasts
Stitched into the fabric rather than printed on top, their portrait won't fade or crack. It's made to be worn and washed for years.
Embroidered Pet Portrait Memorial Sweatshirt
A soft organic cotton sweatshirt with their portrait stitched over the heart, made from whichever photo means the most to you. Our artists hand-draw every portrait, and you'll see and approve it before a single stitch goes in.
Gentle touches, included
- A halo, stitched softly above their portrait
- Angel wings with halo and stars, for a fuller tribute
- A forget-me-not name banner beneath their portrait
- Unlimited proof edits — we'll get it right, however long it takes
Three gentle ways to remember them
Every memorial portrait can be finished with one of these details. They're subtle, beautifully stitched, and entirely up to you — some people prefer the portrait on its own, and that's lovely too.
The Halo
A single golden halo above their portrait. Quiet, simple, and instantly understood.
Angel Wings, Halo & Stars
Soft wings either side of their portrait with a halo and scattered stars. A fuller tribute for a much-loved friend.
Forget-Me-Not Name Banner
Their name stitched into a banner wrapped in forget-me-nots — the flower of remembering, for a friend you never will forget.
The story of one memorial order
This is a real order — a much-loved cat, remembered with a halo. From the photo their owner sent us, to the hand-drawn portrait, to the moment the last stitch goes in.
Every memorial order gets this same care. It's never just another sweatshirt to us.

From your favourite photo, in your own time
The whole process is built around getting their portrait right — not around speed.
Choose a photo
Any photo that feels like them. Older or imperfect photos are absolutely fine — our team will let you know if another shot would work better.
We draw their portrait
One of our artists hand-draws the design and sends you a digital proof within about 3 working days.
Take your time
Request as many edits as you need. There's no time limit on approving your proof — sit with it for as long as feels right.
We stitch it with care
Once you're happy, we embroider it in our UK workshop and send it on its way, usually within 10–14 days.
One of the kindest gifts you can give
So many of our memorial orders come from friends, partners and family members who didn't know what to say — so they did this instead. A memorial portrait says I know how much they meant to you in a way words sometimes can't.
Every order can arrive gift-wrapped with a handwritten note and no receipt inside. If you're not sure which photo to use or want a hand keeping it a surprise, just reach out — our team handles memorial orders gently and we're happy to help.
The Memorial Velvet Cushion
Not everyone is ready to wear their pet's portrait, and that's okay. The velvet cushion keeps them close in a different way — their portrait and forget-me-not name banner embroidered onto soft velvet, resting in the spot that was always theirs.
Many people tell us it ends up exactly where their pet used to curl up. Something to hold on the harder days, and a quiet presence in the room every day.
