Creative Pet Urns

Many people lose the pets they love everyday. Not only are these people wracked with grief, but they are also at a loss with how to cope with their pet’s deaths. The best way to keep the memory of the pet close to your heart is to emboss their name on a pet memorial stone.

These stones fit neatly into your garden or backyard. They resemble real garden stones and bring to memory the good times with the pet. Keep the memories of your pet in your heart and in your yard.

Anyone who has owned a pet can attest to the fact that animals all have a distinct personality. My cat, Whiskers, was one of those pets that becomes like a close friend. When he passed away last winter after a run-in with a coyote, I wanted a way to honor his memory.

Because Whiskers held such a dear place in my heart, I didn’t want to simply bury him in the backyard. Instead, I opted to give him a proper burial by adorning his grave with a headstone. There are many tasteful options for pet memorials today that honor your pet and usher them into the afterlife.

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.

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

What dog doesn’t enjoy the outdoors?  Even if it’s just for a few moments while finding a place to relieve themselves, sniffing out the flower beds, or fetching a ball, dogs love to be outside.  When your dog passes, it’s important to keep them in your memories, and an excellent method to achieve this is through stone pet urns.  These stones can be stepping stones or simple stone markers, but no matter the use, these resilient stone objects reflect the loyalty and love of the outdoors you shared with your canine friend. 

You can find stone pet urns at certain specialty stores, but they are most commonly available online.  It’s difficult to convert your standard garden stepping stone into a stone pet urn, so you can save a lot of time and money by purchasing the genuine article.  Preserve the memories of your pets outdoors and know that one day you will see them again. 

Most Americans hold their pets in high regard. Some people, in fact, think of their pets as their children. For people like these it’s important to treat a pet’s death like a human’s. This means making the proper arrangements before your treasured pet passes away.

Give your pets a dignified end by using pet memorials to mark your family’s memory of them. There are so many varieties of pet memorials out there that it would be impossible not to find one you like. A pet’s passing is a sad time, and many people suffer greatly emotionally during these times. Don’t let your friends and family forget your pet and the love it brought to your lives.

Any pet owner knows that pets are more than just our four-legged friends. They are, in fact, members of the family. As such, when they pass away, it is a time for grieving, feelings of loss, and above all, remembering all the good times with that pet.

One of the great ways to remember any pet is with engraved pet stones. Just like we love to commemorate a lost friend or family member with a headstone, the same principle can be applied to a family dog, cat, bird, or any other pet. In addition to other benefits, these stones let people know just how much you cared about that pet and what an impact he/she had on your life.

Display them prominently in the home or yard, and you’ll be reminded of all those happy memories every time you see it. Additionally, they are sure to last for years because they are most often designed with a weather resistant material. This allows them to be displayed outside without damage.
