Pet urns come in a very wide variety of sizes and styles. There are websites on the Internet you can visit to find the perfect pet urn - one that is unique to that special loved one. Personalized pet urns can be engraved with the pet's name, his life dates, and other lines of text. Many pet urns come with decorative name templates. Engraving is normally included in the price of the pet urn, but it can run up to fifty cents a letter with some companies.
When it comes to styles, your options are vast. There are traditional styles of pet urns that many owners find comforting, but there are also styles that are more interesting than the usual traditional urn. There are hardwood urns, full size figurine styles, garden styles and photo styles. The style that you want most is almost certain to be available. In some cases, you can customize your pet urn to meet your exact needs and desires.
The size of your pet urn will, of course, be an issue. Urns can commonly hold the ashes of pets who weighed up to 90 pounds. Larger urns can be special ordered if needed.
Quality urns are both weatherproof and waterproof which protects your pet's remains. The inner containment tube is usually made of high impact plastic and is also waterproof. Most urns have a removable cap on the bottom to allow for the remains to be placed within the pet urn.
In the figurine styles, there are life sized reproductions of most dogs and cat breeds. These can be especially comforting, because they look like the beloved pet and can be set either outside or indoors. Name plates can be attached at a minimal cost. If you prefer, as many owners do, you can attach your pet's collar to the figurine.
Losing a pet is painful and sad, but with a pet urn you can retain his memory. Pet urns can be of any style and can be placed outside or inside. If you have a garden spot in your yard or if your pet had a favorite play or sleep spot outside, placing his pet urn there might bring you enormous comfort. With the weatherproofing and waterproofing associated with well made pet urns, you can rest assured his remains are safe and dry.
You should keep in mind that it can take up the 3 to 4 weeks to receive your pet urn if engraving is ordered. Using priority shipping methods can cut down on the timeframe a bit, but still allow a few weeks for delivery.
Prices depend on the type and style of pet urn you desire. The best way to find the pet urn that is within your budget is to shop the Internet.
