Unique Pet Urns Are Thoughtful Remembrances

By Laura Gallagher


Nobody likes to say goodbye to a family member. Those who cherish animals have to deal with the death of a companion more frequently than those who don't. Though their lives are shorter, a companion animal's death affects its owner as strongly as any other family member. Unique pet urns are fine ways to pay tribute to a departed friend.

A one of a kind storage container for your animal's remains can be as simple as an inscribed box or as personal as a statuette of the dog or cat it contains. No matter how you choose to remember your animal, you will know that you have done something as unique and wonderful as you can if you take the time to search out a truly unusual and beautiful container for their final rest.

You might even find the perfect vessel already made. Find artisans and craft workers in your area who make it their business to construct memorial objects. Whether carved from wood, shaped from metal and glass, or chiseled from stone, there may be several appropriate containers.

A good craftsman or craftswoman will also be able to construct something from your own ideas. No matter if you find a great solution or have one crafted from your own imagination, hand made and artisan vessels will almost always be significantly different from all the others. Uniqueness is inherent in these wares, simply due to their hand crafting.

For that extra sentimental touch, some people have decided to store and display their former animal's remains in a fondly-associated object. A cat's favorite cushion or pillow can be filled with his or her ashes. If their dog had a favored toy, it can be used to hold their remains as well.

In the end, it is not hard to find or make unique pet urns. The charm and beauty of them is a good reflection of the animal someone loved very much. Even in death you can still show them your love.
