For most people, pets are part of the family and people love them because of their unconditional love. The pain of losing a pet is no less than losing a human family member.
As pet cremation becomes a standard option in life, more and more pet owners are purchasing cat urns to honor and remember their lost companions.
When our beloved pets pass away, it is difficult for us to grieve their loss and to move on with our lives. After all, pets are with us every day and they accompany us through the ups and downs of life.
Cremation provides us with a way to keep the ashes of our deceased pets forever, and a carefully selected urn is a precious item to commemorate their life journey. In addition, pet cremation jewelry, as a chic memorial option, allows our pets to accompany us forever in another form, as if they had never left. Pets are not only our companions, but also irreplaceable family members in our lives. Even after they pass away, they deserve our deepest respect and endless love.
For pet owners, pet urns are the final memorial and resting place of their pets.
They are important because they help ease grief and give pet owners the option to keep their companions around.
Pet owners will find that there are many options when it comes to choosing an urn. Understanding these options is the first step to finding the ideal urn for your pet.
Types of Pet Urns
Before you start comparing your options, it is important to understand the types of pet urns available.
While there are many options, the most common types of urns include:
Metal
Metal urns are one of the most popular choices for pets because of their long lifespan. These urns are strong and durable, making them a great choice if you plan to keep your pet’s ashes at home. Since they resist wear and tear, your pet’s ashes will be safe for a long time to come.
You can find these urns in a variety of shapes and sizes. For example, we have metal pet urns in the shape of a rainbow bridge, cat urns, teardrop shaped urns, paw print urns, heart shaped urns, and more.
You can display this type of urn on a mantel, in a display case, or anywhere else you want.
Wood
Wooden urns are another beautiful choice for pets. Wood is naturally durable and has a unique grain, which means no two urns are exactly alike (just like your pet).
Most wooden urns come in rectangular or square shapes and come with a plaque that you can customize with your pet’s name. Some plaques also allow you to add your favorite, high-quality photo of your pet.
Biodegradable
Environmentally conscious pet owners may prefer biodegradable urns, which are made from materials that break down over time. If you plan to bury your pet’s ashes, biodegradable urns are perfect for memorial gardens, where you can bury your pet under their favorite tree or in their favorite spot in the backyard.
Scattering
Scattering urns are ideal for pet owners who want to scatter their pet’s ashes. These urns are designed to scatter the ashes into the air and, in some cases, into the ocean.
Scattering urns for water will dissolve or decompose shortly after the ashes are scattered.
Custom urns cost more, but some pet owners may find the investment well worth it.
How to Choose the Right Pet Urn?
Choosing the right urn is the first step in picking the perfect urn for your pet. Here are some other things to consider:
Size: We offer a variety of sizes and styles to suit your needs. From small to large, we have options to fit your pet’s size. If you only need to store a small amount of ashes, we also have smaller options. If you are unsure about the size, we recommend choosing based on your pet’s weight before cremation.
Style: We have a wide range of options. From cute paw prints to rainbow bridges to heaven, and hundreds of other beautiful designs, we have created a variety of designs to remind you of your beloved pet the moment you see them. Choose an urn that “speaks to you” so that your pet’s memory will always be with you.
Personalization: We give you the opportunity to honor your pet in a unique way. You can choose to engrave your pet’s nickname or their favorite quote on your pet’s urn to create a lasting memory. Not only that, some urns also allow you to add photos of your pet or leave space for personal items such as collars, so that your pet can feel the warmth of home in heaven.
