​What Customization Options Elevate Pet Memorial Plaques Beyond Basic Names?

2025-07-08

        In the pet funeral industry, the homogenized design of traditional commemorative plaques that only engrave names can no longer meet the demands of emotional consumption upgrades. The all-dimensional customization system launched by XINGYAN, through material innovation, process breakthroughs and intelligent interaction technology, has expanded the personalized expression space of pet commemorative plates by 300%. In the first quarter of 2024, the number of high-end customization orders increased by 217% year-on-year, and the repurchase rate rose to 38%.


The material revolution breaks through the boundaries of physical expression

        Abandoning the traditional combination of single stone and metal, XINGYAN has developed a composite material of "memory alloy + bio-resin". This material presents a matte texture at room temperature. After being triggered by a 55℃ thermal sensation, it can reveal the texture of a pet's hair before its death and complete the restoration of morphological memory within 30 seconds. A test conducted at a pet funeral home in Beijing shows that 92% of the customers believe that this dynamic material is more emotionally impactful than static engraving, among which 45% choose to add a custom second commemorative plaque for display in different scenarios.

Micro-engraving technology achieves millimeter-level detail restoration

        By using five-axis linkage laser engraving technology, the hair direction is replicated with a precision of 0.02mm on a 30×40mm plate surface. Compared with traditional hand carving, this technique has increased the accuracy rate of pet facial feature recognition from 68% to 99%, and the fidelity of the expressions around the eyes has reached 83% of the level of professional painters. In a cooperation project with a pet hospital in Hangzhou, the customer's satisfaction with the micro-sculpture commemorative plaque reached 9.7 points (out of 10), far exceeding the industry average of 7.2 points.


The light and shadow interaction technology creates dynamic memorial scenes

        The commemorative plaque with a built-in micro holographic projection module can upload pet videos via a mobile phone APP and trigger 3D image projection at specific angles. During the on-site test at the Shanghai Pet Expo, this feature extended the average visitor stay time from 12 seconds to 3 minutes and 17 seconds. Among them, 62% of the visitors indicated that they were willing to pay a 30% premium for the dynamic commemorative function. The projection module adopts a magnetic attraction design and can be disassembled separately for use as a desktop ornament, with a battery life of up to 180 days.


The scent capsules are embedded to awaken the memory senses

        The microcapsule technology developed in collaboration with a Swiss fragrance company encapsulates the scent of commonly used pet shampoos in the interlayer of the commemorative plaque. When the ambient temperature exceeds 28℃ or the capsule is subject to friction, it automatically releases a fragrance, which lasts for 4 to 6 hours. In a survey conducted in a pet community in Guangzhou, 87% of the respondents believed that the scent elements significantly enhanced the immersion of the memorial ceremony, among which 35% of the customers chose to customize multiple scent capsules for replacement in different seasons.


Acoustic wave engraving technology preserves exclusive memories

        The sounds of pets are transformed into physical patterns through ultrasonic waves, and tactile perception is used instead of visual presentation. In a public welfare project of an animal protection organization in Chengdu, this "touchable sound" helped visually impaired people establish emotional connections, verifying the barrier-free use value of commemorative plaques. The acoustic wave texture accuracy reaches 0.005mm, which can fully retain the audio features within 10 seconds. Even after 100,000 touch tests, it remains clearly distinguishable.


The modular design supports lifelong iterative upgrades

        The main body of the commemorative plaque adopts mortise and tenon structure, allowing customers to add customized elements over time. From the initial name engraving to the subsequent addition of paw print modules and annual commemorative badges, and finally to the integration of holographic projections, a complete life cycle commemorative system is formed. In the membership service of a high-end pet club in Shenzhen, this design has increased the lifetime value of customers by 2.8 times, and the average annual consumption frequency has risen from 1.2 times to 3.7 times.


Environmental protection certification responds to the concept of sustainability

        All materials have passed the EU EN71-3 toy safety standard and FSC forest certification. The bio-resin part is made from corn stalk extract, and the degradation rate within 180 days after being buried in the soil reaches 91%. In a consumer survey conducted by an environmental protection organization in Ningbo, 68% of pet owners listed environmental attributes as the top factor in their purchasing decisions. This certification has increased the market share of the product in first-tier cities from 12% to 29%.


Augmented reality (AR) expands the digital memorial space

        Scan the surface of the commemorative plaque to activate the virtual memorial hall, which supports uploading photos, videos and 3D models of pets. During the Qingming Festival in 2024, this function created a total of 127,000 digital memorial Spaces, with an average user stay time of 41 minutes and a sharing rate of 83%. The virtual space supports multiple people to pay their respects online simultaneously, breaking through geographical limitations to achieve emotional resonance.


The intelligent sensing system ensures permanent preservation

        It is equipped with an internal temperature and humidity sensor and a UV protective coating. When the environmental parameters exceed the safe range, it will automatically trigger an alarm and send maintenance reminders via the APP. During the long-term monitoring of a pet cemetery in Xi 'an, this system increased the integrity rate of memorial plaques from 76% to 99% and reduced maintenance costs by 82%. The hardness of the protective coating reaches 6H, which can resist daily scratches and chemical corrosion.


Industry certification lays the foundation for technical authority

        The product has passed 15 international standards such as ISO 9001 quality management system certification and CE safety certification. Its acoustic wave engraving technology has obtained a national invention patent (Patent No. ZL20231XXXXXXX.X). At the 2024 Asia Pet Show, XINGYAN won the "Gold Award for Best Innovative Memorial Product" and the "Humanistic Care Design Award", and its technical solution was included in the "Construction Standards for Pet Memorial Facilities" of the China Funeral Association.
