Keeping Our Feline Friends Close

It’s hard to forget a cat that has shared our life for a significant amount of time, and often after losing such a dear pet, we can feel lost and alone. To cope with the loss, it’s a good idea to consider a pet urn, or pet cremation jewelry. These objects preserve the mortal essence of the cat, and allow the owner to keep their friend close with them at all times. A pet urn can be placed in an indoor location like a mantle or bedside table, or even set in a more central location of the home, perhaps where the cat liked to spend their time lounging underneath a sunny window or playing with a catnip mouse. Pet cremation jewelry can go wherever the owner goes, and can serve as a reminder of the cat even when the owner isn’t at home. Pet cremation jewelry also comes in several different accessories, including necklaces and bracelets.

It’s also simple to find pet cremation services at funeral homes or from online services. If we keep our favorite pets near us at all time, we will never be bereft of their influence and their impact on our lives.

Marking the Loss of a Pet

After losing a pet, many people want nothing more than ways that they can remember that pet forever. To that end, if you’re looking for products that will last as long as the memories you hold dear of your lost pet, you can look into pet memorial markers. These markers often contain a commemorative plaque that reads the dates of the animal’s life as well as the name. It will also often be created in a whimsical pet-related shape.

These are ideal for inside or outside, as they are often made to withstand foul weather. They can, however, be lovely accents to your mantel piece, or they can even be placed somewhere in your bedroom. While some are simply a marker, others can actually hold remains of the animal. Whether you’re using it as a marker in your garden among the flowers or a memorial inside your home, it’s a great way to always remember the pet that gave you and your family so much joy.

Keeping Your Animal Close

If your pet was particularly beloved to your family, sometimes no action can seem enough when that pet passes. After all, many people have funerals for their pets, and some of those individuals even cremate the pet who has recently passed. But if you feel like you’re having trouble getting closure from this loss, you might want to look into a pendant pet urn. With one of these products, you can keep a very small portion of the remains on a chain and always near to you.

In this way, your pet is never truly far from your heart. And because it’s such a small portion of the remains, you can also scatter some of the ashes in the pet’s favorite places. Depending on the pendant that you purchase, these pieces of jewelry are also beautiful. Some will come in solid, etched metal, while others will be accented by gemstones or quartz. Whatever version you choose, it will be a gorgeous and sentimental addition to your jewelry collection.

Maintaining an Outdoor Pet Memorial

For those of us who have pet memorials in our backyard, it’s important to perform a little maintenance now and then.  It’s natural for outdoor cat and dog memorials to accumulate a little grit as well as growth including moss and lichen.  For smaller pet memorials, the best method to clean is with a toothbrush.  While this might seem tedious, a toothbrush with a little soap and water is able to clean in the cracks and other indented areas of the pet memorial.  Depending on the texture of the pet memorial, it might also be possible to wipe it with a cloth rag to remove most of the dirt and grit.  For serious moss infestations, it’s also possible to put moss killer on the pet memorial, but this should be used as a last resort. 

With just a little maintenance at the beginning or end of the year, your pet memorial will remain clean and help to preserve the memory of your favorite dog or cat.  While we might lose some of our best friends throughout life, the memories we have will keep with us for the rest of their lives.

Placing a Pet Grave Memorial

It’s natural to need a little time to grieve when we lose a favorite pet, but when the grieving process is over, placing a pet grave memorial in the backyard is great for remembering all the fun times together.  While most people prefer to just bury their pet in the back or front yard without a marker, having a pet grave memorial reminds us of all our fun times together.  Pet grave memorials, just like grave stones, come in all different shapes and sizes suited to the pet owner’s needs.  In addition to selecting the right pet grave memorial, it’s also important to keep location in mind.  For example, if your cat liked to sleep under the trees in the backyard, place the pet grave memorial there to help preserve their memory. 

While it’s difficult to let go of a loved one, especially a pet that has shared a lifetime with you, it’s also important to move beyond the grieving process.  We can never forget our pets, but we can remember all the fun times we had together and treasure our memories with a pet grave memorial. 

Preserving Mittens’ Memory

Preserving Mittens’ Memory

I know the name is kind of a cliché, but I named my cat Mittens because of her delightful white paws.  Mittens and I loved to spend time in our backyard garden, where she would lie in the shade under the willow trees while I worked planting, pruning, and watering.  Mittens and I shared almost fifteen wonderful years together, when her age abruptly caught up with her.  When Mittens passed, I felt more than a little lost, and I knew that preserving her memory would be important.  I looked around for pet memorials, and found a pet memorial stone at an online website.  The stone was perfect; it was tasteful and it would go well sitting under the willow trees where Mittens loved to spend her time lounging. 

The pet memorial stone now contains the ashes of Mittens and rests under the roots of the willow trees in my garden.  Whenever I look in that direction, I’m reminded of my favorite furry friend and all the fun times we shared together in the garden.  It’s a great feeling, and I think pet memorials are excellent options for owners who want to remember their pets.

Keeping Old Friends Close

When a favorite pet passes on, it can be a difficult time for owners who have shared in their experiences for a lifetime.  Keeping your pet close to you with pet memorial jewelry can serve to relieve some of the grief and allow you to move on.  With pet memorial jewelry, you can keep a special part of your pet close to you at all times; whether worn around the neck, carried in a purse, or resting at your bedside, it’s great to have the memory of your pet preserved in a real object.  In addition, having the ashes of your pet preserved in jewelry is a simple process that can be performed by most any cremation service.  You’ll be glad to have your favorite friend always should you ever need their company. 

Pet memorial jewelry comes in styles as diverse as the pets themselves, and owners shouldn’t worry about finding a piece that will suit their needs.  In addition, pet memorial jewelry is quite affordable in comparison to standard bands and gemstones.  Every owner deserves to have a lasting memory of their pet.

As we get older we must face the harsh reality of losing people we love. It’s not just people that disappear from our lives, pets too leave us earlier than we’d like. All that we can do to remember them is to place some keepsake around our home. That way the whole family can celebrate the life of the special pet so recently lost.

A mantel pet urn is an amazing keepsake object that can be placed on the the shelf above the fireplace. Inside the urn will be the ashes of your beloved pet. This way, if anyone in your family becomes sad, they can glance up at the mantel pet urn and recall joyous memories.

petkeepsakejewelry-creativepeturns.jpgI have had it up to to here with people! I am so sick and tired of people not celebrating their pets as much as possible. Let me tell you that I don’t need to wait for a special day to celebrate my kitty Monkey Joe Jones. No, in fact, I celebrate that little darling everyday by wearing an understated piece of pet keepsake jewelry.

Monkey Joe deserves nothing less than being made to feel like this earth is his heaven, so I try to create this atmosphere for him. It doesn’t matter what people say, pets should be the apple of one’s eye, the light of one’s life and the center of joy in one’s heart. Think about how you can make your pet feel like the king or queen he/she is. Don’t let those dastardly pet haters get you down.

Celebrating Our Pets

When my cat Fonzie died, I was devastated, and felt lost and alone.  It was difficult for me to cope with the loss, and then I came across a pet keepsake memorial online.  I had never heard of such a product, I just kind of assumed that in general people buried their pets in a cemetery or in the backyard.  But with the pet keepsake memorial, I could preserve Fonzie’s ashes and keep them in my home. 

While I’ll never get over Fonzie, it’s nice to know that his spirit is preserved in my home, not in the backyard underneath the dirt.  I set Fonzie’s pet keepsake memorial on my bookshelf, a favorite place of his to perch, and now I like to think that he’s always looking over me and my home.  Years after Fonzie’s death I bought a kitten, Sophie, and I like to think he looks over her too and keeps her safe when I’m not around.
