The loss of a pet is incredibly difficult, and it’s not something that most people are prepared for. When your pet passes away, it’s hard to imagine life without them. That’s why it’s important to find ways to keep them close to you after they’re gone. If you’ve recently lost your beloved animal friend, you may be wondering what to do with your pet’s ashes. This article will explore some options for what to do with cremated pet ashes, as well as how to choose the best option for you and your family.
Why You Should Keep Your Pet’s Ashes
Many pet owners like to have something to remember their pets by. Many people choose to have their pets cremated after they pass away so that they can be placed in an urn and kept at home. However, some owners prefer to use a special casket for burial or scatter their pets’ ashes in a place that they can visit frequently. Some companies specialise in creating pet ashes keepsake ideas for pet owners who wish to keep the ashes close by.
Here are a few ideas for what to do with your pet’s ashes:
Scatter Their Ashes
If you’re looking for a way to honour your pet, scattering their ashes is a great option. While some people choose to bury or keep their pet’s ashes in an urn, spreading the ashes in a meaningful place can be an excellent way to remember them. The best thing about spreading your pet’s ashes is that it’s a simple process; you don’t need any special tools or materials, and you can do it any time of year.
Keep Them Close To Your Heart
There are ways to honour their memory and keep them close to your heart, even after they have passed away. One way to do this is by creating a piece of jewellery, such as a necklace or ring, that contains a small amount of your pets ashes. This can be a beautiful and meaningful way to keep your pet’s memory alive and can provide a sense of comfort and connection.
Combine With A Tattoo
You can find artists who specialise in pet tattoos, and they’ll work with you to create a unique design that reflects your relationship with your beloved animal companion. Plus, creating a custom tattoo is a great way to commemorate the life of your furry friend and pay tribute to their memory that will stay with you forever.
Keep Them In An Urn
Keeping them in an urn is a great option for many people. The urn can be kept in your home as a reminder of your beloved pet, and it also serves as a place where family members can gather to remember their beloved pet. There are lots of options for urns, from the traditional to the modern and here at Remembered Forever, we have created a range of unique frame urns which not only house your pets’ precious ashes but also allow you to display their collar and tag for example.
Another option is burying an urn in your garden. This is especially nice if you have children who may wish to visit their pet’s final resting place from time to time, but it is also important to consider if you are likely to move in the future.
