A memorial garden is usually a place to place an animal’s ashes. The idea is to take the ashes, place them in a special urn, and then leave it in the garden for the animals to visit.
Sometimes, pets are given proper memorials. For example, I have a cat who I adopted in the late 90’s. His ashes are in a special urn in my yard, and he’s had several memorials in the past. The memorials have all been in a variety of places – in a urn at the end of my driveway, inside the garage, on the outside of my house, and in the garden.
For a more modern example, try your hand at placing an urn in your own backyard.
One of the easiest and cheapest ways is to get a plastic urn or urn-shaped jewelry box. I bought one for about $10 at a yard sale. The thing that makes it unique is the fact that it has a small hole in the lid so that you can insert your urn or urn-shaped jewelry. If you don’t have a urn, you can just put the piece of glass in the lid and fill it with water.
I have included a link to one of many DIY urn projects out there. If you like urns, you will love this one, as the urn is so lightweight that it can be easily moved around your yard.
This is what I do. I have two urns in my yard, one that I use for urns I get every other week, and one that I only use for urns when my plants die or I need more water. The urns are about 5-7 inches deep, and I fill them with water every week. It’s really easy to do, and I make sure to have my plants watered, too.
For those who don’t believe in urns, I recommend this one. It’s another DIY project that takes a lot of time and effort to figure out, but one that will make your yard look like you just bought a pet. The idea is to make a plastic urn that has a base, a lid, and a couple of legs.
The idea of creating a plastic urn that looks like a pet is brilliant. I love the idea of using the plastic itself as the base and lid, and the fact that you can then paint the inside and make it a custom color. Although, I don’t have any plants at the moment, so the idea of using a plastic urn would have to be used on plants.
Although the idea of creating a plastic urn that looks like a pet is brilliant, I don’t think that’s the most creative idea. There are other ways that you can achieve the same effect, such as using a container lid and placing a plant inside of that. You can even make it look like it is a plant using some paint.
The fact that pet memorial ideas are so cheap is also the reason why I dont have any. I’m sure if you had a plastic urn and a plant inside of it you can still find a place for it on your own. You may not have the room for a full-size urn, but if you can create a boxy urn and paint it to look like a plant, you could create a memorial garden for yourself.
