Honour your pet with a lasting tribute.
Crafted in New Zealand from FSC-certified timber. Thoughtful, simple, and sustainable.
We get how important pets are – they're family, and losing a pet can be a child’s first experience with grief. Paw Bearers offers a way for families to come together, talk openly, and create something meaningful in memory of a much-loved companion.
Our kits are easy to assemble and include a decorating set designed to help children process loss through creativity and connection.
Why a decorating kit?
Because creativity helps kids process what words can’t.
For children, the loss of a pet can be confusing and overwhelming. Depending on their age, they may not have the words to fully understand or express what they’re feeling. That’s where creative ritual can help.
Each Paw Bearers kit includes a decorating set so your child can personalise the casket in their own way. It may seem simple, but these small creative acts offer a sense of involvement, control, and emotional release. Psychologists often recommend hands-on activities like drawing, painting, or crafting to help children safely explore their emotions. In the context of loss, it becomes a way to say goodbye, to honour love, and to feel seen.
By decorating the casket together, families can share stories, create space for big feelings, and begin to gently navigate the path of healing together.
