A bird for anyone who has owned one can actually attest the truth that it’s as special as a cat or a dog to its owner- and once it dies, it could produce the equivalent sadness and grief as losing a family group. There are some who might feel as if the death of a pet doesn’t warrant exactly the same sort of memorial as the death of a human. However, for many, the grief is the same, and has to be processed in the same way. This is why some pet owners decide to give honor to their feathered friends with bird memorials. It is a option to say good-bye, to process the pain, to move on.

There are various ways to memorialize a bird, and not one of them is either wrong or right; everything is dependent upon what is most meaningful to the owner. Some pet owners prefer a simple burial; others consider cremation might be that ashes are scattered or placed in an urn. For other owners still, the greatest thing could very well be some type of a visual focal point like a form of jewelry by incorporating feathers onto it or probably just placing those in a locket.

But for many people, none of these bird memorials truly process their feelings. The grief remains. For them, creativity needs to be added more to it.

One artist created a concept while processing her own grief over the loss of a pet. What she thought of was the concept of putting the pet’s remains within an inspirational artwork that might be helpful and could make her feel better. She determined that others might take advantage of the same process, so she created the Loving Hearts Tribute Series-a set of limited-edition heart-themed prints on canvas, personalized by hand-finishing the last coat while using cremated remains, fur or feathers of a lost pet. The truth is, some pet owners are helped with these specialized artworks.

An inspirational remembrance of life, love and joy is what this artwork is all about and not a public display nor an indication of death and loss. Every time a bird dies, the method goes similar for cats and dogs, what includes in the piece could be one of the most meaningful of bird memorials – the ashes or feather with regards to the owner’s preference. Therefore, for people who find themselves fine or not fine with simple burials or just want something more – the best way to help someone bid goodbye to their dear feathered friend is the Loving Hearts Tribute Series.
