What to consider when choosing a casket for your dog's ashes


When the end of your beloved canine friend's journey with you comes to an end, you may choose to cherish their memory by preserving their cremains. So what to consider when choosing a casket for your dog's ashes? With the depth of feelings experienced following their loss, it may be difficult to decide on an appropriate tribute, especially if their passing has been unexpected.

Hand-crafted dog caskets in the Pets Remembered range, provide a unique memorial, characteristic of your dear companion and can for example be breed specific. It's important to take all the time you need to reflect on how their memory can be best preserved, perhaps involving family or friends in choosing the perfect dog memorial casket if they have shared in your pet's life.

Where do you intend to place your dog casket? In the early days, you may feel that you need the comfort of having the essence of your friend close to you. The pet memorial casket will be unobtrusive resting with other ornaments in your home. The base of a dog sculpture has discreet non-slip feet to prevent scratching of surfaces and if you choose a simple receptacle in solid beech, this will have a felted base.

You may decide to put your canine companion's casket in a tranquil spot in the garden, perhaps where they loved to rest or play. You will want your memorial to remain in perfect condition for years to come and Pets Remembered caskets are crafted to withstand all weather conditions and are suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. However, perhaps you don't have a garden but would like your friend to rest surrounded by nature, in an environment where you have spent many happy times. 

Their ashes can be lovingly scattered where you feel an emotional connection and have left footprints together. A favourite toy or memento can then be placed in the dog casket, as a keepsake within your home.

As pet owners ourselves, at Pets Remembered we can relate to the strength of the bond which has been forged between you and how bleak the future may seem without their presence.

Following the loss of a pet, you may feel excluded at a time when you are most in need of understanding and support.  Memorialising a pet provides the opportunity for friends and other members of your family to join in a celebration of your pet's life and to express their condolences in their...
