Creative Pet Urns

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.
