Why MyOldFriend exists

The animals we share our lives with are family. They are there for the ordinary days and the hard ones, and when they are gone, the house feels different in a way that is hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t felt it.

MyOldFriend began with a simple thought: that they deserve to be remembered with the same care they gave us. Not with a novelty print, but with a quiet, lasting portrait, something you would be proud to hang in the room where they used to sleep.

So we keep things simple and gentle. You share a favourite photo. We create portraits for you to choose from, and you see them before you pay. A person looks over every portrait before it is printed, and if it isn’t right, you don’t pay for it. Your photo is used for nothing else, and deleted once your portrait has arrived.

We hope it brings a little comfort.
