Pet Caskets and Urns
Archive for the ‘Caskets’ Category
A pet cremation urn allows families to honor the life of deceased animals in a sentimental and personalized manner. Parting with a beloved pet is a nightmare of a reality that every pet owner dreads. When my childhood dog died, my family was completely grief stricken. Naturally, we weren’t ready to let her presence fade so we had her delicate body cremated and her ashes sealed in an urn.
Each and every pet personality can be graciously captured with a memorial urn. Mantel clocks, photographs and stuffed animals are just a few of the varieties of pet cremation urns. No matter which urn you choose, the loving memory of your pet will remain alive in your home. To love a pet like family is to cherish them forever.
Anyone who has experienced a loss has probably heard of closure; it’s whatever means by which you can accept, and come to terms with, that loss. For some, closure can come from quiet reflection or remembering the lost loved one. For others, it is attending a funeral and being able to talk about that individual’s life. By whatever means people achieve closure, it is necessary to acknowledge the importance of closure.
It doesn’t matter if you’re grieving the loss of a relative or the loss of a pet. Loss is loss, and you’ll have to deal with that loss in your own time and your own way. If your family pet has recently passed, and the family is having trouble moving on, consider the possibility of hosting a funeral for your pet. There are numerous places to find a pet casket or urns, and the funeral itself will give everyone who loved your beloved animal the chance to share special memories and talk about their grief.
Your pet stayed by your side throughout his entire life. Now you’re devastated that he has passed away and that he won’t be by your side anymore. But you can still keep the memory of your pet close by storing his remains in a cremation urn. A subtle, decorative urn can be displayed in your home to honor your pet for years and years.
Pet cremation is often a less expensive alternative to pet burial. A cremation urn can be made of wood or other material and custom crafted to honor your pet specifically. You can even add a personalized plaque to commemorate your pet’s name, birth date and death date. Your pet would be happy to know that you chose to keep them near you for many years to come.
Some time ago our neighbor who had two small bichon frise dogs one male and one female, the female developed a incurable illness she was quit old .When she was diagnosed as being gravely ill by the vet he informed the owners that it was just a matter of time before she would pass on or have to be put down because she was under some stress and pain the vet informed them to take her home keep her comfortable for the time she probably had left to live.
My neighbor than called me to ask if I would make her a box as they intended to bury her in the back yard after she passes on. I informed her that I would be more than happy to do that for her. After giving it some thought and talking it over with my wife we decided in as much as it was our neighbor and good friend that we would make a very nice casket (coffin) for here. I pro ceded to make the box my wife the stuffed pillow and a friend of ours who does embroidery work made the head liner.
A few days latter when the casket was finished we took it over and presented it to them they were just overwhelmed and thought it was just beautiful she decided to take it over to her vets and show him what Mandy was going to be buried in, he said “o” my gosh I think these people are unto something I`m sure there could be a market for this type of thing.
My neighbor informed me of what the vet had said, with that we began to produce them, selling them on E-bay and putting fliers around local pet shops and veterinarian clinics and so the business began.
There are very few people living today that if not now had a pet they loved
dearly and became very attached to at some time in their life. when that pet
became very ill because of a incurable disease or just became so old it no
longer could live a comfortable life,even though its a very sad time a decision
must be made to have them put down or let them die naturally. When this event
takes place the question always comes up as to what to do with the remains, do
we have it cremated, bury it in a pet casket in the back yard or have the vet dispose
of it by some means. What ever you decide its a question that must be
addressed. Most people tend to put these decisions off until the day something
happens. If you had addressed these question some time earlier you would be much
more comfortable and relieved knowing that when that sad day does arrive that
those arrangements have been addressed and finalized.
