Still Here began with a simple observation: when an animal you love dies, the world moves on in about a week. You do not.
Still Here is two things. A free memorial, where their story lives and anyone who loved them can light a candle, on the mornings that matter most. And a memorial journal, a place to write them down before the details fade: the sound of them, the warm spots they claimed, the story only you can tell.
Everything here is written in one voice: honest, warm, and free of platitudes. No stages to complete. No timeline to meet. Grief this size only comes from love this size, and nothing here will ever ask you to apologize for it.
Still Here grew out of years spent walking families through pet loss at FindPetCremations.com. It is made with care by a very small team, and signed the way the opening letter of the journal is signed.

The FindPetCremations connection
Still Here was created by the team behind FindPetCremations.com. Since 2026, FindPetCremations has helped families locate pet cremation providers and understand the choices that follow a pet’s death. Still Here grew from seeing how quickly the practical decisions end, while the remembering continues.
How the journal was made
The journal’s prompts and structure are grounded in what pet-loss and grief research consistently shows: that losing an animal you loved is real grief, that guilt and the euthanasia decision are among the hardest and least-spoken parts of it, and that remembering happens in no fixed order and on no timeline. The journal is built around that: gentle prompts, full permission to skip, and no stages to complete. It contains no author’s story. Every page is about your animal.
