Pet Urns

In the past, pet urns were considered to be a purely functional commodity. Used to encase the final remains of a beloved pet, a pet urn may have been kept on a shelf or even buried in a yard or on the farm where the owners could still be close by their pets. Wholesale pet urns showcased the utilitarian aspect of the container by being simple, durable, and without much adornment. While some pet urns may have showcased a few whimsical designs or maybe even religious sentiments, most of them were plain.

In today’s animal loving society, pet urn necklaces have picked up where pet crematory urns have left off. These small pieces of jewelry are often designed around a small vial where some of the ashes may be kept with the person as a constant reminder of the animal’s love. Of course, today’s pet urns are so much more elaborate than they were in times past and as a matter of fact, many are so wonderfully crafted that they make for breathtaking display pieces.

Wooden pet urns are hand carved with intricate detail work; some cat pet urns may showcase elaborate carvings of the cat itself – usually with the help of a photo supplied by the bereaved animal lover – while other wood pet urns feature inlaid lids that may use a number of different kinds of wood. These highly polished pet urns are pleasing display subjects that are often so intricate in their workmanship that they are mistaken for art objects and not pet urns.

Durable metallic pet urns are also beautifully made, even when they are designed to be more durably functional than your average cedar pet urn or oak pet urn. Interestingly, some pet urn jewelry has been designed for the insertion of a metallic clip. Pet urn manufacturers understand that animal lovers may feel squeamish about sifting through their pet’s remains and thus an urn for pet ashes may come in a combo: one portion is encased in a small vial for use with specially designed jewelry while the rest is enclosed in a metal urn that may be put into a specifically designed wooden pet cremation urn, adding durability to design.
