What is a pet cremation urn?
Pet urns are decorative containers designed to hold the cremated remains of your pet.
Is it normal to keep my pet's ashes in its own urn?
Absolutely not. We hold our pets near and dear to our hearts. When they pass, significant holes are left in our lives. Pet urns and memorials allow us to celebrate their lives and to keep them close to us forever.
How do I choose the correct size pet urn?
Wnen choosing an urn for your beloved pet, you want to follow the industry standard: 1 pound of body weight typically makes 1 cubic inch of cremains. Thus said, if your pet was 10 pounds, then you would need an urn that was at least 10 cubic inches. All of our products indicate the sizes indicated in the descriptions. We recommend purchasing a pet urn that has a capacity a bit larger than the formula calls for. Occasionally, people choose to place a toy or other sentimental object into the pet urn, which calls for extra volume.
When ordering your pet urn, please consider these average pet weights. These weights assume the pet is in good health and form.
- Very small dog breeds: 4 to 15 pounds
- small dog breeds: 20 to 30 pounds
- medium dog breeds: 40 to 60 pounds
- large dog breeds: 70 to 90 pounds
- very large dog breeds: 100 to 150 pounds
- cats: 7 to 15 pounds
How do I place my pet's ashes into the urn?
Your pet's cremains will be returned to you in a basic container with a sealed plastic bag inside. Simply remove the plastic bag from the container and transfer it to your new pet urn. If you find it necessary to repack the remains, be sure to use another platic bag that has the capacity to create a seal. Be very careful during the transfer. If you have any questions specific to our products and transferring the cremains, be sure to Contact Us.
Can I bury my pet in these urns?
Yes, however because our pet urns are of such high quality, people usually elect to display them. Our pet urns are built better than most furniture and can be a great addition to any China closet or fireplace mantle, where your pet urn can be visible at all times.
