Memory
Remembering a beloved pet is a process filled with tenderness and comfort. These memories are precious jewels that warm our hearts and help us heal. Every moment shared with our furry or feathered companions leaves a lasting imprint on our minds. These stories and memories help us continue their legacy of love and happiness by speaking their names and sharing their tales. MOG products also allow you to keep celebrating their positive impact on our lives. Thus, our animal friends remain alive in our memories, offering invaluable comfort to our hearts and minds.

Not only do they decompose naturally without harming the earth, but they also offer a dignified tribute to our furry and feathered friends. By choosing this solution, you honour the memory of your pet while helping preserve our precious ecosystem. With MOG, discover how to offer an eco-responsible final tribute to your loyal companion.
"The hardest thing to bear when they go, these quiet friends, is that they take with them so many years of our own lives."

Can MOG products be buried or cremated?
The MOG tie-up cover is 100% natural and biodegradable. It is designed to be buried.
The MOG zipper cover is specifically designed to be cremated.
The MOG home compost urn made from PHA is specifically designed to be buried.

Can I bury my pet?
First and foremost, the Rural and Maritime Fishing Code forbids throwing the body of any animal into a bin, sewer, nature, or public road. This action is punishable by a fine of €3,750.
Unlike other countries, burial in a family vault is not permitted in France. Pet burials are only allowed in pet cemeteries. For other animals, only cremation or rendering are permitted.
Many owners choose to bury their pet in their garden, but it’s important to know that this may lead to a fine. However, this is common and there have been no strict enforcement cases reported to date.
What’s the difference between MOG tie-up and MOG zipper covers?
The MOG tie-up cover is a natural, fully biodegradable funeral cover for pets. High-quality, it is designed to dignify your companion’s final moments. Made of organic cotton/recycled cotton/linen/sheep wool and lined with a 100% biodegradable film, it guarantees perfect sealing.
The MOG zipper cover is a natural funeral cover designed to be transported safely by funeral services. High-quality, it has been designed to wrap your companion with dignity. Made from water-resistant organic cotton and wool, it ensures perfect sealing.
MOG covers offer an eco-friendly and dignified alternative to the plastic body bags typically used in euthanasia procedures.
What size should I choose for MOG covers?
Are MOG covers easy to use?
Which MOG urn should I choose, and how are they made?
MOG urns are made from filaments of either PLA or PHA, produced via 3D printing.
Which MOG urn should I choose?
MOG biobased urns* in PLA: PLA is a plant-based bioplastic made from corn starch or sugar cane. Made solely from plant materials without chemicals, it is an excellent alternative to plastic products from the petroleum industry. When cremated, it doesn’t produce toxic fumes. If it’s left in nature, it won’t pollute wildlife or plants as it decomposes naturally, though it will take several decades to fully break down.
If you choose PLA, you will need to keep your urn close to you and not leave it in nature.
MOG home compost urns in PHA: PHA is a plant-based bioplastic created from corn starch or sugar cane via bacterial fermentation. Microorganisms generate this material when fed organic matter. This bioplastic stands out for its total biodegradability and compostability, even in marine environments. It is one of the few bioplastics capable of decomposing in extreme conditions.
If you choose PHA, you may wish to place or bury your urn in nature.
- Biobased products are made from materials derived from living organisms, such as plants (wheat, rapeseed, flax, hemp, sawdust…) or animal products (sheep wool, organic waste…).
When should I buy MOG?
We recommend that you purchase in advance before your companion’s passing. Our delivery service ensures transport within 48 hours, but we cannot guarantee delays caused by factors beyond our delivery partners’ control.

The urns are produced in our workshop in Western France.

- Our cotton fabrics were manufactured in Portugal.
