Pet Memorial Urns
The loss of a pet can hurt a family or a pet owner very deeply. This is especially true if the pet was brought into the family from birth. The fact is that having a pet, usually a cat or a dog around the house is like having another baby or a child around. Indeed, many people raise pets when they don’t have children to raise. Pets mean so much to people, that it has been medically proven that pet owners live happier lives. They offer us their attention, affection, and they give us a reason to love, and to live. Picking up after them, feeding them, bathing and caring for them becomes part of our daily routine. So when they leave us in death, its only natural that we will want to find a way to honor them, and to keep them around.
Just as in the case of humans, a pet owner might want to cremate their pets. They feel that they will feel comforted to keep the ashes close at hand. Sometimes, keeping the ashes around is a way of grieving their pet. A burial might seem too cold and distant. Plus, the fact is that burials are very expensive. Cremations cost a fraction of the price. Also in the case of humans, there are many cremation Pet memorial urns to choose from when the pet owner wants to hold on to the cremains of their cherished pet.
There are stone urns. The stone urns are stoic, and very dignified. They are made from marble, granite, or sandstone. These urns look just like a traditional vase urn. They will have bands of brass around them. These bands are where the pet cremains are stored. This is a great pet urn for the animal that had a noble or a dignified personality, as a lot of dogs do have. In the case of a cat, since cats are so elegant and independent, this might make a lovely pet urn for the cat.
Modern advances in memorials have mixed contemporary ideas with traditional preservation. Glass urns or memorial urns have been developed to utilize your pet’s remains in the creation of a beautiful, decorative memorial. These memorials can take the form of a glass decoration (e.g. ornament), jewelry, or specialized urns. Using the utmost respect, a small portion of your pet’s remains is incorporated into the design of the item for you to cherish.
In the spirit of green considerations, biodegradable urns have been designed to encase your furry companion’s remains. Heart-shaped boxes, traditionally-shaped urns and other biodegradable urns are available for you to honor your pet. Carefully designed water-burial urns are constructed with earth-friendly materials to float momentarily and then sink, releasing your pet’s ashes into the water. Other eco-friendly urns are designed for land burial to break down easily over time.
Other pet urns include vault urns and keepsake urns. Vault urns are specially designed to permanently seal your companion’s remains in a vaulted container. These vaults are constructed using various types of steel or metals to encase your friend’s remains permanently commonly for use in burial. Keepsake urns can also be permanently sealed but some designs allow for a separate compartment to keep items such as tags, a favorite toy or another item associated with your pet. Keepsake urns can also have pictures etched into the top of the urn or slide into the top of the box. Artists’ renderings of your pet may also be used on the top or sides of the keepsake urns.
