Our story began with our cat, Cornelius also known as Corn, Corny, or occasionally Cormillus.

Despite his grumpy face, he lived the happiest, coziest life. His days were spent chasing mice and birds outside, and his nights were spent curled up beside us on the couch. We still miss his gentle presence every day.

After he passed, we created a granite memorial to keep his memory close.

When a few friends saw it, they asked if we could make something similar for their pets. One project turned into many, and after countless hours (and plenty of trial and error), a small business was born.

We specialize in custom engraved granite memorials that can be personalized with names, dates, photos, and heartfelt messages.

But it doesn't end there, from personalized jewelry to ornaments we are always adding new products to our inventory.

We try to make the process simple, personal, and meaningful, so that you can focus on cherishing your memories.

Every memorial we create is made with the same care, respect, and attention to detail that we gave to Cornelius’s. We understand that behind every order is a pet with a unique story and a family who loved them deeply.

Our promise is simple: We will treat every memorial as if it were for our own pet.

To provide you with a meaningful way to honor your pet’s life. With every cut, engraving, and finishing touch, we strive to create memorials that reflect the love, loyalty, and happiness they gave you. At Altered Timber, we’re here to help you heal through remembrance.
