Dogs, cats, frogs, lemurs... if they can hold still for a few photos, we can turn them into a memorial statue that stays in the garden they knew.

How to order your own
No perfect photos needed. Send what you have and we will tell you straight what we can work from.
-
01
Send us your photos
At least 4: straight on, each side, and a close-up of the face. Older or blurry photos are fine to send too. Tell us their name and anything about how they sat or stood.
-
02
We build the 3D model
You see a preview and we adjust until it looks like them. There is no time limit on this step.
-
03
Choose size and inscription
Name, dates, or a short line can be cast into the base. Tell us the exact wording and spelling. A hidden urn or keepsake chamber in the base is $50 more.
-
04
We print, mold, cast, and finish
Poured in cement, cured, and hand-finished so it can live outdoors year round.

What it costs
A flat $300 design fee, paid up front, covers the 3D model and the mold. Then each statue is priced by height. Reorders from your mold are casting only.
| Height | Casting | One statue, total |
|---|---|---|
| Under 8 in | $150 | $450 |
| 8 to 12 in | $200 | $500 |
| 13 to 16 in | $250 | $550 |
| 17 to 20 in | $400 | $700 |
| 21 to 24 in | $550 | $850 |
Ordering more than 5?
| Order | Off casting |
|---|---|
| 6 to 10 statues | 10% |
| 11 to 24 statues | 20% |
| 25 or more | 30% |
- Painting adds to the quote, depending on the detail.
- Pet memorials can hold ashes or a keepsake: a hidden chamber in the base is $50.
- Need it sooner? Rush orders add 20%.
- Free shipping for a single statue up to 16 in tall, anywhere in the US.
- Send at least 4 photos. You approve a 3D preview before anything is cast.

Questions we get
How much does a custom pet statue cost?
$300 for the 3D design and mold, plus casting by size: $150 under 8 inches, $200 for 8 to 12, $250 for 13 to 16, $400 for 17 to 20 and $550 for 21 to 24. So one statue comes to $450 to $850. Painting adds to the quote, depending on the detail. The $300 design fee is paid up front, reorders from your mold are casting only, and orders of 6 or more get up to 30% off casting.
How many photos do you need?
At least 4: one straight on, one from each side, and a close-up of the face. More photos help us get markings and coat right.
How big can you make it?
Up to 24 inches tall. Tell us where it will sit and we will help you pick a size.
How much is shipping?
Shipping is free for a single statue up to 16 inches tall, anywhere in the US. Larger statues and multi-piece orders are quoted with the piece, or you can pick up from the workshop in Nashville.
What if my photos are not very good?
Send them anyway. We will tell you honestly whether we can work from them before you commit to anything.
Can you add their name and dates?
Yes. An inscription on the base is included. Send the exact wording and we will confirm the layout with you before casting.
Can it hold their ashes?
Yes. We can build a hidden urn or keepsake chamber into the base for $50. It holds ashes, a collar tag or another small keepsake. Ask for it when you order.
Can it sit outside at the grave?
That is what a pet memorial statue is made for. Cement, sealed, and heavy enough to stay where you put it.
How long will it take?
1-3 months once you approve the model. We will not rush this step unless you ask us to.
Can you work from a photo of a pet that has already passed?
Yes. Most of this work is done that way.
