This personalized pet urn makes sense for anyone that has lost a pet. They can be kept in a safe place until your ashes are ready to be collected.
I love this idea because it makes me think of an urn that my parents kept in their garage for their cat. The cat was having too much fun playing in the garage, and they let me play in it. I remember the cat’s favorite game being “Dump the Cat,” where you had to shovel cat poop and litter into the urn. It was a lot of work, but it was also awesome.
Now I was thinking of a dog like my grandfather who had a custom-designed urn. And the pet urn idea is a great way to memorialize your pet with a beautiful urn that can be kept in your own home.
The urns have become such a common thing that a few companies are producing them. They’re basically a big urn inside a little urn, so they don’t use a lot of plastic, and they’re made out of a pretty sturdy wood case. They’re also pretty inexpensive. One company that’s making them has a website that sells them for $50.
Yes, that is a lot of money to throw away, and for me, its worth it. My grandfather had a dog who died when he was a kid (he really was such a sweetheart).
My best friend, who recently passed away, had a dog named “G.” She had a few urns made for him and kept her ashes in one of them. When I was a kid, she had a couple of urns made that she kept in her house, not sure if they went to her apartment or her parents house.
When ashes are mixed with water and placed in an urn, they’ll stay together no matter how much they get shaken or stirred. So you can make a batch of your favorite favorite ashes and put them into an urn to put in your backyard or your friends house.
I can’t think of a more intimate way to dispose of a loved one than with a homemade urn. It’s a way to say good-bye, something we’re very good at doing ourselves. And no doubt the person who made this urn could have created the exact same one for the person they were cremating, but she chose to go with an urn for a very specific reason.
The customized urns have become a popular item for those of us with pets. This is because pets can cause a lot of stress on their owners, and the custom pet urn makes it more comfortable for them to have their pet ashes scattered in a more personal way.
