A framed keepsake for a much-loved companion
The Pet Tribute Frame is a personalised memorial piece designed to celebrate the life of a pet in a calm, respectful way. It brings together a selected photo, the pet’s name, dates if needed, and a short message or verse in a clean frame layout that feels suitable for a living room, bedroom, passage or study area.
Each frame is prepared as a keepsake item rather than a mass-produced décor piece, so the layout is handled with care and the wording is checked before final production. If you are ordering from Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand or further afield, the finished frame can be collected from a pickup point or packed for courier delivery.
- Suitable for cats, dogs, birds and other companion animals
- Can include a name, dates, short quote or memorial line
- Designed for display on a wall or shelf, depending on the format selected
Size options and finish choices
The frame is available in a few practical sizes so you can choose what suits the photo, the message length and the space where it will be placed. Smaller frames work well for a bedside table or a narrow wall section, while larger sizes give more room for a full tribute layout. We can also help if you need a matching pair for two pets.
Common options include portrait and landscape formats, with layout choices that allow for one main image or a collage of two to four photos. The finish is selected to match the tone of the tribute, from simple and understated to a more detailed presentation. If you are not sure which size to choose, check the wall or shelf area first and allow a few centimetres around the frame for a balanced look.
- Small, medium and larger tribute frame sizes available
- Portrait or landscape orientation
- Single photo or multi-photo layout options
- Choice of wording length based on the selected size
Where it works best in the home
This memorial frame suits rooms where the family already keeps photos, candles or other remembrance items. Many customers place it in a quiet corner of the home, near a favourite chair or on a shelf with other family photos. It can also be used in a private office, a pet care space or a reception area where a companion animal was part of everyday life.
For homes in Pretoria, Johannesburg and coastal areas, it is worth choosing a position away from direct sun and moisture. Coastal humidity can affect paper and printed inserts over time, so a stable indoor wall or shelf is best. Avoid placing the frame above a stove, near a bathroom window or in a spot where winter condensation builds up.
- Living rooms, bedrooms and passage walls
- Memorial corners and family display shelves
- Private offices or pet-related spaces
- Best kept indoors, away from direct sunlight and damp areas
How the frame is prepared and mounted
The frame is assembled with the selected image and personalised wording, then checked for alignment, spelling and spacing before it leaves the studio. No power or gas supply is needed, and there is no installation beyond choosing the display position. If you are hanging it on a wall, use a suitable hook or picture hanger for the frame weight and size. For a shelf display, make sure the surface is level and away from regular knocks.
For courier orders, the frame is packed with protective material to reduce movement in transit. If you are collecting from Lynnwood or one of the pickup areas such as Menlyn, Brooklyn, Centurion or Montana, you can inspect the package on collection and keep the outer wrap for safekeeping until it is displayed. Take care when unboxing, as glass or acrylic can scratch if handled carefull.
- No electrical connection required
- No gas, batteries or charging needed
- Wall hooks, picture nails or shelf display can be used
- Protective courier packaging available nationwide
Care, cleaning and long-term display
Routine care is simple. Dust the frame gently with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid strong cleaning chemicals on the glass, acrylic or printed surfaces. If the frame includes a glazed front, clean the outside only and do not lift the backing unless you are changing the arrangement. Keep it out of strong direct sun where possible, because prolonged exposure can fade printed elements over time.
If the memorial includes layered pieces, raised text or a textured insert, avoid damp cloths that may mark the finish. In air-conditioned spaces or homes with load-shedding cycles, allow the frame to adjust naturally if it has been moved from a cool room to a warmer one. That helps reduce misting on the inside of the cover.
- Dust lightly with a dry cloth
- Avoid household sprays and abrasives
- Keep away from direct sun and high moisture
- Do not open the backing unless needed for approved changes
What to check before placing your order
Before ordering, it helps to have the pet’s name written exactly as you want it to appear, along with any dates, nicknames or memorial wording. If you are sending a photo, choose a clear image with enough light and the pet’s face visible. A phone photo is often fine if it is sharp and not cropped too tightly.
Also consider the final use. If the frame is for a sympathy gift, shorter wording is often more suitable. If it is for your own home, you may want a longer message or verse. Please check spelling, date format and whether you want a neutral tone or a more personal tribute. If several family members are contributing, agree on the wording first so the finished piece feels right for everyone.
- Confirm exact spelling of the pet’s name
- Check dates, wording and preferred tone
- Send a clear photo with good light
- Choose the correct size for wall or shelf use
