How To Honor A Deceased Pet
For many of us our pets are as much an integral part of our life as our children or other family members are. Losing a pet can be as devastating as losing any other family member. There are many different options available when it comes to commemorating the life of a pet and knowing your options ahead of time may make the decision a bit easier. Our loved ones play such an important role in our life and are memorialized in a way that shows the world our devotion to them. At Jewelry Keepsakes, we truly feel that honoring the memory of your pet and displaying your dedication to them is just as important.
When you lose a pet whether it is suddenly or after a long illness the first question is what do I do now? There are a couple of different options. You can choose to have your pet cremated. This is a popular option for various reasons. Cremation allows pet owners to decide what they’d like to do with the ashes. You may have lost the physical body of your pet in one form but you are receiving it back in another. With cremation, you have the option of displaying or keeping your pets ashes in a pet urn of your choosing, burying your pet in a burial urn or keeping some of the ashes to display in a pet memorial locket.
Pet urns are available in a variety of different materials and offer many customization options. You can select a hardwood cremation urn or perhaps a ceramic dog cookie jar with your pet’s name on the front. Pet urns with a loving poem or a picture of your pet on the front are a fantastic way to keep their memory fresh and alive. For additional information on pet urns you can visit www.evrmemories.com.
When you have a pet cremated you can select to keep their ashes in a burial urn. Burial urns are made of a durable material that will withstand burial conditions. One positive to choosing to bury your cremated pet in a burial urn is in the event that you move and you have buried your pet in your yard, you can elect to dig up the burial urn and bring it with you to your new residence. Burying your pet in a burial urn in your yard or a pet cemetery also gives you somewhere to go and visit your pet.
Another option for memorializing a cremated pet is to use a scattering urn and scatter your pet’s ashes in a favorite spot. Scattering urns are available at many online retailers such as www.evrmemories.comand make a wonderful way to set your pet free. Be sure to check with your town offices so that you are aware of any restrictions with the scattering of ashes.
You can also choose to honor your pet’s memory with pet memorial jewelry. Pet cremation pendants are small jewelry pendants that have an inner cavity that will hold some cremated ashes. Jewelry Keepsakes is one of the leading online retailers of funeral jewelry for pets. Their selection ranges from dog bones to hearts with a paw to many other unique and interesting keepsakes that will hold a reminder of your beloved pet. Many of their pet keepsakes can be engraved with your pet’s name or date of birth or a special anniversary. If you chose to bury your pet instead of cremating them, Jewelry Keepsakes encourages you to consider their memorial lockets for pets. You are not limited to filling the pendant with cremated ashes. A bit of fur, a piece of a favorite toy or even some ground from where your pet was buried would all make beautiful additions to your urn pendant.
Burial makes a beautiful option for your pet. Many towns have actual pet cemeteries that are on dedicated land. This means that the land will never be used for anything other than the pet cemeteries. Most pet cemeteries are also valuable resources on pet headstones, caskets and other burial materials that are necessary to provide a lasting and beautiful resting place for your animal. Having a place to go to visit your pet can bring a great deal of comfort and closure as well and gives the family a place to be together.
Finally, making a memorial to your pet for your home is a brilliant idea to keep their memory alive and have a part of them with you at all times. Some families choose to have a picture matted and framed and hung in a family room or well visited room of their home. Others may make a scrapbook or memory album with pictures of their pet from birth to before they passed. A garden stone or memory rock is a wonderful reminder of a pet to have outside as well as a dedicated cast stone outdoor statue of a dog or whatever animal your pet was.
