Losing a beloved pet is one of life's hardest moments. When you're ready to honor your furry family member's memory, choosing the right urn can feel overwhelming. This guide will help you make the best decision during this difficult time.
What Size Pet Urn Do You Need?
The size depends on your pet's weight.
For smaller pets (cats, small dogs up to 8 kg):
- Choose urns with at least 0.5 liters of space
- Our smaller biodegradable urn and our porcelain urn work perfectly
For medium pets (dogs 8-20 kg):
- Look for urns with 1 liter (up to 12 kg) or 1.5 liter (up to 20 kg) capacity
- Both our porcelain and larger biodegradable options fit
For larger pets (dogs over 20 kg):
- You'll need at least 2 liters of space
- Our porcelain urns accommodate bigger pets
Don't worry about exact measurements. Cremation providers can always help you choose the right size.
Porcelain vs. Biodegradable Urns: Which is Right for You?
Choose Porcelain Urns If:
- You want to keep your pet's ashes at home
- You prefer a lasting memorial you can display
- You like the durability and easy care
- You want something that feels permanent
Choose Biodegradable Urns If:
- You plan to bury your pet in nature
- You want an eco-friendly option
- Your pet loved being outdoors
- You believe in returning to the earth naturally
Both choices honor your pet beautifully. Trust your heart.
How to Use Your Pet Urn
Filling Your Urn: Your cremation provider can help transfer the ashes. If you prefer to do it yourself, use a funnel for porcelain urns. Biodegradable urns are easier - you can pour the ashes directly.
Sealing Your Urn: For display at home, seal with strong adhesive. For burial, skip the glue - it's better for the environment.
Caring for Your Urn: Porcelain urns just need occasional dusting with a damp cloth. Keep biodegradable urns dry until you're ready to bury them.
Creating a Memorial Space
Many pet parents find comfort in creating a special space to remember their pet. This might include:
- Photos of happy times together
- Your pet's favorite toy
- A candle for quiet moments
- The urn as a centerpiece
There's no right or wrong way to remember your pet. Do what feels meaningful to you.
When You're Ready to Say Goodbye
Take your time. There's no rush to make decisions about urns or memorials. Your pet would want you to heal at your own pace.
If you're considering burial, check local laws first. Many areas have specific rules about where pets can be buried.
Remember: choosing an urn is about love, not perfection. Whatever you decide will be a beautiful tribute to your pet's memory.
