St. Francis was the perfect choice for me when my dog passed suddenly. This statue brings much comfort to our family. St. Francis statue arrived and I was thrilled at the design and detail. I highly recommend St. Francis for any garden or animal burial site. The quality and appearance will last many years outdoors. The birdbath to the side can hold water, birdseed and in my case I placed a little bird in it. I love this statue not only does it hold meaning for me but it very beautiful for any garden!
