Press
Release Body: Displaysense, the UK’s leading
supplier of retail display products have received a peculiar request
from one of the UK’s largest pet product retailers to source
a range of Perspex pet coffins and display boxes.
The
pet shop retailer plans to promote these acrylic displays as a way
for customers to create elaborate memorials in their gardens for
their beloved deceased stuffed pets. It is thought that this pet
shop retailer has asked Displaysense
due to the retail display suppliers wealth of experience
in acrylic
display products and display boxes.
This
enquiry has arisen due to a growing demand from the pet shop chains
customers to be able to see their pet after it has passed away.
According to the BBC’s website, although the number of people
owning a pet is on the decrease pet owners in the UK are spending
an estimated £3.8bn a year on their pets with one in three
adults admitting that they love their pets more than their children.
“With
our experience in the display industry and the retail experience
of the pet product chain, we are looking forward to a successful
partnership”, said James Crawford, Sales Director
at Displaysense.
The
fact that deceased animals could soon be on display in gardens around
the country could anger some animal activists saying that this is
a step too far. However people's love for their pets, along with
a wish to preserve them after death is not a recent trend. There
have been many discoveries of the ancient Egyptians mummifying their
pets, especially cats, dogs and birds, although many other species
of animals have also been found, which could then be buried in sanctified
plots. James Crawford commented on this point by
saying, “We will be working closely with the retailer,
its customers and the animal rights groups to ensure that the views
of the different parties are taken into account so we can get a
product that is tasteful and not an eye sore in any community. There
are currently various ranges and designs of pet coffins available
on the internet, however an acrylic coffin for a garden display
is a unique product."
The
pet coffin is essentially a larger version of a
display
box and Displaysense plan to work closely with
the retailer to ensure that the acrylic coffin is secure, preventing
animals or even thieves from stealing the stuffed pet or the entire
display.
While
the development of the unusual display range is in its early stages
and isn’t planned to be available until summer 2008, it is
expected that the cost of the product range would start at a RRP
of around £99.
