Making A Memory With Custom Dog Urns

By Ann Ross


Losing a beloved pet is so difficult. You think you will never get over it, but in time you do. But, you never forget them and never want to. Preserving their memory with one of the custom dog urns is a great way to remember them. There are many types, styles, and prices available, so you should be able to find something you like.

Any number of materials are used to make these urns. One is a folded silk box that is very elegant. Cardboard that has been printed with a poem, a picture of your pet, or any such thing makes a lovely box and is very inexpensive if finances are a problem. Wood is also reasonable, and makes a very beautiful box with the proper finishing. Different woods give a different look, but about all of them are reasonable. Also available are the many appropriate metals, such as bronze and pewter. About any metal that is used for caskets can be used for these containers as well.

Almost any shape can be chosen for these containers, many leaving a solid blank surface on which you can put pictures or sentiments that mean something to you. You can even have a hand painted picture put on the box, based on a picture of your pet. This can be done with charcoal, colored pencils or any other art medium. You can even do this if you don't have a picture. The artist can use a picture of the breed and make adjustments as you direct.

Sometimes these are made much as a sculpture of your pet. The shape of your dog, or the breed if you don't have a picture of yours, is sculpted to sit on top of a base. Sometimes, generic shapes that mean something to you in reference to your pet may be used You can often choose what you want, or from a selection.

Sometimes, when you lose a pet, you are so upset you can't make good decisions. You may have neglected to ask for the ashes if you pet was cremated. You should not let this upset you. You can use one of these urns and write a letter and put it in it, or have the urn made without an opening and keep it as a memorial.

The cost of these urns can range to meet the very low budget to the very high budget. The quality varies according to cost, as in anything else, but it is still nice even in the cheaper ones. The finish might not be as good on them as on more expensive ones, but it still looks good.

You can order your urn from an online store. No, it is not made for your specific dog, but you can have it engraved with the dog's name and the date. Many also allow you to have a special memorial saying of a poem engraved on the side of the box. Another way to personalize it is to write a letter or memorial statement about your dog and enclose it inside.

A cremation urn is not the only way to commemorate you beloved pet, but it is a good one. It gives you a pleasant memory of your dog, and also serves as a conversation piece. Talking about a loss is a good way to handle it, and the urn gives you a chance to talk to someone who sees it and starts a conversation. It gives you a chance to share pleasant memories of your pet.
