A pet memorial studio in the Lake District. Small, careful, made by hand.
White Doe is a small studio in the Lake District, Cumbria, UK. We make pet urns, memorial stones, grave markers and sculptures for dogs and cats in cast stone. Every piece is made to order and finished by hand, and our portrait pieces are sculpted by hand from your own photos.

- Made to order, one pet at a time
Hands, not a production line.
Every portrait begins with someone at the studio looking closely at your photos. We sculpt the design by hand, send it to you, and make the changes you ask for.
Once you say yes, we make the piece in cast stone. Then each one is finished and painted by hand, in white, or in black with gold for the canopic urn. That is why no two are quite the same.
Made for one pet, in stone.
We make two kinds of piece.
- Made from your photos: urns, a bust and a memorial stone, each sculpted by hand to look like your pet. The canopic urn goes further: we sculpt reliefs around it that tell your pet's life story, so it is never a fixed design.
- Our own designs: a minimalist cat urn, a sleeping cat stone, and grave markers with your pet's name.
Every urn made from your photos is sized to that pet's weight, and the minimalist cat urn is one size for a cat up to 12 lb (see the urn size guide), and every piece can live indoors or outdoors.
