Porcelain pet urns are a more outdoor-friendly option compared to other materials. They are less prone to damage from sunlight, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. However, for long-term preservation, we still recommend placing them in a protected area like a glass display case, sheltered patio, or burial vault to safeguard them from extreme weather conditions and ensure their beauty remains intact.

Selecting the correct size for a pet urn is essential to ensure it comfortably holds your pet’s remains. Here’s a helpful guideline to assist you:
Weight-Based Formula: The general rule of thumb is that one pound of your pet's body weight requires approximately one cubic inch of urn capacity. For example, a pet weighing 25 pounds would need a pet urn with a capacity of at least 25 cubic inches.
Consider the Type of Urn: If you’re selecting a keepsake urn, only a small portion of the ashes is stored, so the size requirement will be smaller. Standard urns or full-sized urns are designed to hold all the remains.
Room for Personal Items: If you wish to include mementos like a collar, tag, or photo along with the ashes, choose an urn with extra space.
Consult with Your Cremation Provider: Most cremation services provide information about the required urn size based on your pet’s weight.
By considering these factors, you can find the perfect urn to honor your pet’s memory in a meaningful way.
