Everything you need to know about Pawprints of Remembrance.
Pawprints of Remembrance is a free Furry Mortals digital memorial app for pet owners. It lets you create a permanent, map-based memorial page for a beloved pet who has passed away — including their story, photos, and a pin on our global map of remembrance.
It is completely free. There are no subscription fees, no premium tiers, and no advertising. Creating a digital pawprint for your pet costs nothing.
A digital pawprint is a memorial page for a pet who has passed away. It includes their name, species, breed, age, a written tribute, up to five photos, and a pin on our interactive world map. The page has its own unique URL that can be shared with family and friends.
Any pet owner aged 13 or older can create a free account and add memorials for pets they have lost. The app supports all species — dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, horses, fish, and more.
No. Pawprints of Remembrance is a standalone Furry Mortals application. It is independent of The Furry Mortals Compass and Furry Mortals: The Oliver Project, though all three are Furry Mortals apps.
Furry Mortals is a brand created by pet parents, for pet parents. It includes resources, apps, and guides to help people navigate pet loss, including The Furry Mortals Compass, Furry Mortals: The Oliver Project, and Pawprints of Remembrance.
Create a free account, then click "Add a Pawprint." Enter your pet's name, species, breed, age, and a written tribute of up to 2,500 characters. Upload up to five photos, then drop a pin on the map at a location meaningful to your pet — a favourite park, your neighbourhood, or your city. Your memorial will appear on the global map immediately.
Yes. Your Pawprints Dashboard lets you create and manage memorial pages for every pet you have lost, all under one account.
Lighting a candle is a silent, anonymous gesture of support for a memorial. It increments the candle count on that pet's page. No personal information is stored — only an anonymised record to prevent duplicate candles.
A memorial card is a downloadable image you can save or print. It includes your pet's photo, name, story excerpt, and a QR code that links to their memorial page. It can be placed in a photo frame, attached to a memory box, or printed on a memorial stone.
Every memorial automatically generates a unique QR code. When scanned with a smartphone, it opens the pet's full memorial page. You can print the QR code on a photo frame, an urn, a memorial stone, or a garden marker so that anyone who scans it can read the pet's full story.
Yes, if you enter a date of passing when creating your memorial. Each year on that date, you will receive a remembrance email with a link to your pet's memorial page.
Yes. From your Pawprints Dashboard, click Delete next to any memorial. A confirmation page will show you exactly what will be removed. Deletion is permanent and removes the pawprint from the map, all photos, the QR code, the memorial card, and all associated data.
Memorial pages are public — anyone can view them. Your email address is never displayed publicly. We do not sell, share, or use your data for advertising. See our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for full details.
Any animal companion — dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, horses, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, and any other species. The app is for all pets, not just common household animals.
Each memorial page has share buttons for Facebook, Instagram, Substack, and email. You can also copy the direct link. When you first add a pet, a celebration screen appears with ready-to-use captions for each platform.
The Rainbow Bridge is a well-known poem and concept in the pet loss community. It describes a peaceful meadow where pets wait for their owners after death. Pawprints of Remembrance is a place to honour that journey and keep your pet's memory alive.
Pawprints of Remembrance is comment-free by design — it is a sanctuary, not a social network. There are no ads, no subscription fees, and no grief-shaming. It is built by a pet parent, for pet parents, as part of the Furry Mortals community.
