By Paulette Hart


Most folks feel that their pets are a member of the family. When you lose a pet it is very emotional and painful. People often want to memorialize their beloved pet by providing a resting place for them. Often this is done by cremating and placing the ashes of the dog or cat in specially designed urns for pets. Today these containers are available in a variety of shapes and styles.

By tradition, urns for pets are available in rectangle, square, or vase shapes. The pet parents can select a container from a range of shapes, styles, and sizes. In addition, the urn can be made of a variety of different materials.

A lot of people request a wooden container with a figurine that resembles their pet attached. The figure of the pet is made of a resin or a composite type material. This kind of a container makes a wonderful piece to display in the home. It is quite common for folks to surround the box with pictures of their pet.

The wooden containers are available in natural tones. The solid wood containers are available in various finishes. The customer can choose the size, shape, and finish they prefer. If they like, they can have the pet name, a saying, a photo, or an image of the pet engraved on the urn with a laser.

Wooden containers are typically made from walnut, mahogany, cedar, pine, and oak. The container can be finished with a lacquer, shellac, varnish, or paint. Finishing the wood help to preserve its condition.
