Art Pet Memorials was founded in 2004 by VA. de Pintor and began as a way to celebrate the lives of her pets that had passed. After making a few memorials for her family, friends began to request customized ones for their departed pets. A cottage industry was born.
Fast forward to 2007 Art Pet Memorials becomes incorporated and expands to having a memorial manufactured called “Create Your Own Pet Memorial” because there was a demand from pet owners who wanted to assemble their own pet memorials.
