Tail Capture
$119.00 – $439.00
Over the course of several years, Radiant Heart developed a proprietary technique to save a small area of fur, retaining the pattern and feel of the fur, for a unique type of pet memorial. We call this Fur Capture. The process is gentle — the skin is not cut or otherwise harmed — and the result is beautiful and tactile.
Now, using a combination of our proprietary fur capture process and our mold/cast process, we are able to create a replica of what is often one of the most beloved physical features of a pet — the tail.
First, using a special tape we isolate all of the tail fur — from base to tip and all the way around. We then use grooming clippers to separate the fur from the skin at the root. Once the fur is removed, we create a mold of the tail and then cast the mold using silicone. (We also insert a wire through the silicone casting so that the tail may be shaped.) The base of the fur is then attached to the silicone tail and the tape is carefully removed. The base of the tail is covered with color-matched fabric and cording.
The result is a very special memorial.
Available only for Radiant Heart cremation clients.
