Pet Urns For Ashes
River rock memorial stones are hand-picked, and naturally smooth, making the perfect surface to inscribe your loved one’s name, dates and a basic graphic image such as paw prints. These rocks generally range in size from 6-12 inches in diameter and you can generally customize the layout and approve the details before finalizing the look of the stone. The smaller rocks can be displayed in a special holder whereas the larger rocks are often displayed outdoors. Specialized stencils are used to accurately imprint the graphic and information onto the face of the rock with the layout finalized by you before customization begns.
Another type of Pet Urns for Ashes stone that is a popular choice is a garden stone. Garden stones come in a variety of different styles and designs, often with a more image-based feel to them. Stones may be purchased in the shape of paws for stepping stones through your garden and can also be inscribed. Garden memorial stones also include basic round stepping stones with poetry or other text embedded into the rock for a decorative addition to the garden. Other choices include inscriptions with poetry or popular sayings that are in raised lettering on the stone. Some companies will have templates to choose from for your background scene that is incorporated into the stone work. Stands are also available for purchase to display in your garden at an angle.
In addition to these selections is a chiseled monument stone. These upright stones display a few lines of text, a symbol and your pet’s information. Chiseled by hand, these monument pieces can be tastefully displayed in a garden or outdoor area for viewing. Typically, you can choose from a compact version of the monument stone or a full-size version depending on your individual needs. The smaller versions only hold the basic information and usually one choice of symbol or graphic, whereas the larger size can hold more lines of text and a few choices of graphics. All the text and graphic work is frequently done by hand and embedded deeply into the rock (usually marble) for a more defined, dramatic appearance.

We wanted a way to remember our dog. Taking him to the vet for the last time was the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do. He had a severe case of hip dysplasia and he could no longer walk. We knew it was time and we knew we had to make the tough decision for him and give him one last gift of merciful love. I remember how we witnessed his last moments and then how we went out to the car and cried. The vet did his best but he could only offer a few options for cremation.
Before you purchase a pet urn, consider whether you’ll be keeping the ashes, scattering them or burying them. Those criteria will help you select the best resting place for your pet’s ashes and an urn ideally suited for your ideal memorial. If you’re opting for either keeping your pet’s ashes or scattering them at a later date, consider a memorial pet urn that is of keepsake quality and reflects their personality. Pet ashes intended to be buried, set out to sea or floated on a favorite lake can also be placed in a biodegradable cremation urn designed to help return your special friend to a place they loved so much. Biodegradable pet cremation urns will either dissolve once they hit the sea floor or gradually disintegrate over time, minimizing the ecological impact on a sea or earth burial.
