How To Choose The Right Pet Or Cat Urn For Your Deceased Companion

By Gary Rogers


Losing a pet can be an incredibly painful experience. It is no wonder then that so many pet owners are thinking of how to keep their pet with them even after death. Cremation is often a fantastic solution to this situation. If you are thinking about cremating your pet and need a dog or cat urn to contain it's remains, here are tips that you can use to make choosing the right option much simpler and more straightforward.

You may be surprised to learn that the cremation process for a dog or a cat is actually very similar to the one used for humans. There are other processes that will produce remains as well but these are not as popular or as common as cremation. Companies that cremate pets usually have standard options that you can use to hold your pet.

The size of the pet will influence the size of the urn that you will need. Larger animals will usually produce a larger volume of remains than a smaller animal will. It is important to remember that when picking an urn as some may not be large enough to accommodate a large breed dog.

You should also think about whether or not you will be keeping your pet's ashes or whether you will be burying the urn or scattering the ashes. All of these are common practices for pet owners but they will affect the type of urn that you purchase. For example, if you are burying them, you will want to make sure that you choose a container that will break down over time when it is placed in the earth.

Display urns come in many different colors and styles. You should look around at the other items in your home so that you can choose a vessel that suits your decor. Keep in mind whether or not you want the vessel to be very visible or whether you want it to blend in with the background as some people prefer.

Some people want to be able to change the urn from one style to another after some time has passed. They may want a fresh look or may want an older urn to match the ones that they get for other pets. If you think this is the case it may be a good idea for you to ensure that the cremation company you are working with will place the ashes in a bag or pouch before it is placed in the urn.

There are smaller vessels available as well. These can hold a smaller amount of remains in them and are great if you want to give one to someone else who was special in your pet's life. A child may also benefit from one of these items as they can then keep it as a memento. This may help them with the grieving process as well.

Finding these items is much easier than it used to be. In the past, they were not sold in many locations although now they are available online and at many pet cremation sites. If you are looking online, make sure you read customer reviews and find out as much as you can about a product to make sure it will meet your needs.
