Animal Urns Are Gaining Acceptance

By Bertha Wells


There is no denying that pets are part of our lives. People who have a dog or a cat or anything else for that matter, become very close with their pets. They become part of the family. This should be obvious in the thousands of dollars that people will often spend on their pets when they are sick or injured. We are a loving species and as such we have a tendency to want to remember our loved ones. Animal urns can provide that luxury for us.

Many people today choose to keep the cremated remains of a passed on loved one, family member, or friend. Also growing in popularity is keeping the remains of a loved family pet. When we take an animal into our home as a pet it usually does not take long before we fall in love with it.

What becomes of your pet when they pass is up to you. Many people today feel they have but two choices. Digging a grave or bringing the animal to the local vet. They think the vet can take care of the problem. While they can surely recommend someone and give you some phone numbers and information they are surely not a pet based funeral home.

Cremation is also a very economical way to keep a loved animal. Burial can often times be very expensive. Cremating a lost pet is surely the cheaper option, but price is not always the issue. When you bury a loved one they are gone. All that is left is a memorial at a cemetery somewhere.

In some cases people might find cremating a pet a little bit overboard. Especially people from previous generations when pets were almost seen as little more than a nuisance that kept the kids quiet. Today pets, especially cats and dogs, have taken a bigger role in our family dynamics.

This might sound a little morbid to some, but it is actually not too different from keeping a family members remains. Pets become a part of our family almost all the time. It is very rare for a pet to come into someone's life and not become a part of the family.

When this happens and the pets passes on, it seems almost natural to treat the death with respect and dignity. That is precisely what this is. Cremation is a very dignified way to go and having the ability to keep the remains is also a way to respect the dead.

Overall there is nothing wrong with preserving your pet in an animal urns. It is easy, cheap, and very respectful. It is never easy to let go of a loved one when they go. This is one way in which to keep a loved part of your family close by until you are ready. In the meantime your pet's final resting place will always be with you.
