In many households, pets are cherished companions and are viewed as additional members of the family that are a daily source of comfort and joy.

Many want to have a way to remember their loved one and choose to do so by using special pet urns to reflect the character of their pet and store their ashes. Pet cremation urns are available in many different colors, shapes, sizes, and materials. Some of the most popular types of pet cremation urns are wooden pet urns, pet photo urns, tealight urns, metal urns, and pet cremation jewelry.

Metal Pet Urns

Metal pet urns are available in many designs and finishes. They can be created from several different types of metals, such as bronze, copper, brass, and pewter. A metal urn can be further personalized with an engravement of your pet's name and a custom message. Some metal urns have paw prints to commemorate your furried family member and come in different shapes, like a heart or lovedrop. There is also the rainbow bridge urn that has paw prints climbing over the rainbow symbolizing your love for your pet and the promise that your pet is now at peace.

Some designs have beautiful enamel coloring to add more detail and represent your pet’s likeness.
