In the Chengdu area, an 'internet-famous hotspot' chapel that resembles an architectural work of art is actually designed specifically for bidding farewell to beloved pets? This building, named 'Hill of Time,' was meticulously crafted over two years by a professional team, with an investment exceeding 20 million yuan, resulting in a nearly 2,000-square-meter pure white space. It not only provides pet cremation, farewell, and end-of-life services but has also won the 2024 Red Dot Design Award for its minimalist and poetic design, becoming a model of the integration of life ceremonies and aesthetics.
The interior of the building is themed in gray and white, creating a tranquil and solemn atmosphere. The skylight is inlaid with rainbow-colored glass, and whenever sunlight shines through, it casts a small rainbow onto the preparation bed, symbolizing the rainbow bridge to heaven, warming the hearts of countless 'pet parents' grieving the loss of their beloved companions. The facility includes a complete pet preparation room, farewell room, and crematorium, offering one-stop services from grooming and preparation to farewell and cremation, ensuring every step is filled with respect and a sense of ceremony.
Hill of Time adheres to process transparency, allowing pet parents to witness the entire procedure through glass windows, providing peace of mind as they bid farewell to their pets. Gentle touches are evident in the details: the bathroom mirror bears the message, 'You are the best parent'; heartfelt words written during registration are quietly projected during the farewell ceremony; a thoughtfully designed guestbook allows parents to process their emotions through writing, becoming a final keepsake. Outside the building, the lawn is adorned with blessful wind chimes, each chime representing a life once deeply loved. Here, parting is not a cold end but a warm remembrance and tribute to life.
In Hong Kong, there is also a pet farewell space where no expense was spared. Located on the 12th floor of the Unique Building in To Kwa Wan, Petmento features a bright, open-view end-of-life chapel with ample natural light. The environment is designed in soft tones, creating a serene and warm atmosphere, allowing families to bid a peaceful and heartfelt farewell to their pets, sharing one last precious moment together. Whether it's Chengdu's Hill of Time or Hong Kong's Petmento, both redefine the meaning of life's farewells through their spaces and services, providing a place for grief to find solace and memories to be forever cherished.
When farewell is an act of love, let PETMENTO create a warm and dignified goodbye for your pet.
