A Guide to the Different Types of Pet Urns Available to You
When you decide to cremate your beloved pet, finding a way to honor their memory can be an important part of the healing process. With so many different types of pet urns available, you can find something that feels just right for you and your pet’s memory. Below, you can learn more about the different urn options we offer at Pet Passages to help you find a loving tribute to your pet.
Traditional Pet Urns
These urns are made from materials like metal, wood, ceramic, etc., offering a timeless and dignified way to preserve your pet’s ashes. These urns come in various sizes and shapes to suit different needs and preferences.
When you want a lasting and visible tribute to your beloved pet, these are a great option, as they can serve as a beautiful focal point in your home decor and allow you to keep your pet’s memory close in a meaningful way.
Jewelry and Charms
For those who want to feel close to their pet after they’ve crossed the Rainbow Bridge, cremation jewelry and charms are a popular option. You can choose from necklaces, bracelet charms, rings, and more to store a small portion of your pet’s ashes, so they are never far from you. Many of these jewelry pieces are designed to be subtle and stylish, with a hidden compartment that only you know holds such a special memory.
Many of the pet parents we work with choose this option when they want a way to carry their pet’s spirit with them wherever they go.
Keepsake Urns
Keepsake urns are smaller versions of traditional urns, designed to hold just a portion of your pet’s ashes. These are a wonderful option if you want to divide your pet’s ashes among several family members or friends. You can also use them to create multiple memorials to your pet within your home.
Keepsake urns are also ideal if you plan to scatter most of your pet’s ashes but still want to hold onto a small portion. With their delicate size and versatility, keepsake urns help pet parents honor their pet’s memory in a personalized and heartfelt way.
Scattering Urns
Scattering urns are specially designed for pet parents who wish to return their beloved companion’s ashes to nature in a meaningful way. These urns are primarily made from recycled materials and can be recycled after use, making them a popular option for eco-conscious pet parents.
Choosing a scattering urn can be a deeply comforting way to celebrate your pet’s life and love for the outdoors. For pet parents who find solace in nature, scattering urns provide a gentle final tribute that feels both personal and connected to the world your pet enjoyed.
Other Keepsake Items
Beyond traditional urns, many pet parents find comfort in unique keepsake items like ash ornaments and glass art that incorporate their pet’s ashes. These items can transform a small portion of your pet’s ashes into a beautiful work of art or a special holiday decoration.
We find that some pet parents like these alternative keepsakes when they want to celebrate their pet’s memory in a creative and personal way. Many of these keepsakes can look like a small piece of art, making them a special addition that complements any home decor.
