Our Story
It Started With a Dog We Loved
For 18 years, our black Lab Zorro wasn't just a pet, he was family. He was there through life's biggest moments, everyday routines, and countless memories we still carry with us today.
When we lost him, we searched for a meaningful way to honor the life we shared together. We wanted something more personal than a traditional photo frame and more beautiful than the mass-produced memorial products we kept finding online.
We wanted something that truly reflected the love, companionship, and memories that remain long after they're gone.
That's where Galibu Memorials began.
Created From Experience, Not Just Business
As a husband-and-wife team, we understand the heartbreak of losing a beloved companion because we've lived it ourselves.
What started as a way to preserve the memory of our own dog quickly grew into a mission: creating handcrafted memorials that help other families celebrate the pets who shaped their lives.
Every piece we create is designed with the same care, attention, and respect we wanted for our own memorial.
Crafted to Be Treasured
Each memorial is individually made in our Illinois workshop using premium hardwoods, crystal-clear acrylic, precision CNC craftsmanship, and professional UV printing technology.
We believe a memorial should feel substantial, timeless, and worthy of the memories it represents.
That's why we focus on quality materials, thoughtful design, and craftsmanship that will last for years to come.
For the Pets We'll Never Forget
Whether they were with you for two years or twenty, the bond we share with our pets leaves a lasting mark on our hearts.
It is our privilege to help preserve those memories through meaningful keepsakes designed to be displayed, cherished, and passed down for years to come.
Thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your pet's story.
