Care

Caring for your cast stone pet memorial. Indoors, or out in the garden.

Every White Doe piece is cast stone. It is at home on a shelf, and it can live outdoors too: the stone takes rain and frost.

01 / Indoors and out

Where it can live.

Can it live outdoors?

Yes: the stone takes rain and frost, so it can stay in the garden all year.

Can an urn holding ashes stay outside?

Yes. The stone is at home in all weather, but an urn's lid is not a rain seal, so keep the ashes in their sealed bag inside it.

Where is best indoors?

Anywhere it can sit flat and steady: a shelf, a mantelpiece or a windowsill.

Where is best in the garden?

On firm, level ground or a flat stone, where it will not be knocked.

Is it fragile?

Stone is strong, but fine details such as ears can chip if they are knocked or dropped.

Lift it with both hands, by the body rather than the ears or other fine details.
