While not everyone experiences this, it’s normal to feel deep grief over losing a pet. They are our faithful and loving companions, and sometimes we talk to them more than our human friends. Your pet was likely the first face you saw wh</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">en you woke up and the last before falling asleep. So it makes sense that losing them leaves a massive hole in your life and also your heart.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0778/2679/files/dog_cremation_keepsakes_-_inline.jpg?v=1653270101" alt="dog cremation keepsakes"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you had your pet cremated, you might wonder how to store the remains and if there’s anything special you can do with them. This article will discuss how to <strong><a href="https://www.thelivingurn.com/collections/pet-keepsake-urns">store cremation ashes</a></strong> of your pet and ways to incorporate it into meaningful keepsakes.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pet Cremation Ash Storage</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.thelivingurn.com/blogs/news/10-things-to-do-with-the-cremated-ashes-of-your-pet">pet’s ashes</a></span></strong> will last for a long time if you keep them dry and out of the sunlight. This means you can store them for as long as you like. (It’s common for people to leave their pet’s ashes in a closet until they’re ready emotionally.) People often store cremation ashes in special plastic bags or containers from the crematorium. You can technically store your pet’s cremation ashes in any container of the correct size.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Display Urns</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A display urn is an attractive, sealed vessel that holds cremated remains. This is the traditional way of storing a beloved pet’s ashes, and these urns are often displayed. They can be made of various materials such as wood, cremation glass, and ceramic. Using a display urn allows you to keep a part of your beloved pet close. There are many styles of display urns-you will have lots of options for colors, shapes, and sizes. Display urns can be comforting when grieving and gift you moments of fond reflection in the future.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cremation Keepsakes for Pets</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A cremation keepsake is a small object that holds or incorporates a tiny amount of cremation ash. These are often worn daily or kept out in plain sight. Their size allows for multiple keepsakes to be made for family and friends. You can have a cremation keepsake and a display urn since cremation keepsakes use so little of the remains.</span></p> <h3>Keepsake Urn</h3> <div id="product-component-1653270941663"></div> <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[ (function () { var scriptURL = 'https://sdks.shopifycdn.com/buy-button/latest/buy-button-storefront.min.js'; if (window.ShopifyBuy) { if (window.ShopifyBuy.UI) { ShopifyBuyInit(); } else { loadScript(); } } else { loadScript(); } function loadScript() { var script = document.createElement('script'); script.async = true; script.src = scriptURL; (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(script); script.onload = ShopifyBuyInit; } function ShopifyBuyInit() { var client = ShopifyBuy.buildClient({ domain: 'tlu22.myshopify.com', storefrontAccessToken: 'ab7941e462ba8d32f31bef54ebcb5767', }); ShopifyBuy.UI.onReady(client).then(function (ui) { ui.createComponent('product', { id: '7645363273944', node: document.getElementById('product-component-1653270941663'), moneyFormat: '%24%7B%7Bamount%7D%7D', options: { "product": { "styles": { "product": { "@media (min-width: 601px)": { "max-width": "calc(25% - 20px)", "margin-left": "20px", "margin-bottom": "50px" } }, "button": { "font-size": "13px", "padding-top": "14.5px", "padding-bottom": "14.5px", ":hover": { "background-color": "#207ea8" }, "background-color": "#238cbb", ":focus": { "background-color": "#207ea8" }, "border-radius": "24px", "padding-left": "48px", "padding-right": "48px" }, "quantityInput": { "font-size": "13px", "padding-top": "14.5px", "padding-bottom": "14.5px" } }, "buttonDestination": "modal", "contents": { "options": false }, "width": "580px", "text": { "button": "View product" } }, "productSet": { "styles": { "products": { "@media (min-width: 601px)": { "margin-left": "-20px" } } } }, "modalProduct": { "contents": { "img": false, "imgWithCarousel": true, "button": false, "buttonWithQuantity": true }, "styles": { "product": { "@media (min-width: 601px)": { "max-width": "100%", "margin-left": "0px", "margin-bottom": "0px" } }, "button": { "font-size": "13px", "padding-top": "14.5px", "padding-bottom": "14.5px", ":hover": { "background-color": "#207ea8" }, "background-color": "#238cbb", ":focus": { "background-color": "#207ea8" }, "border-radius": "24px", "padding-left": "48px", "padding-right": "48px" }, "quantityInput": { "font-size": "13px", "padding-top": "14.5px", "padding-bottom": "14.5px" } }, "text": { "button": "Add to cart" } }, "option": {}, "cart": { "styles": { "button": { "font-size": "13px", "padding-top": "14.5px", "padding-bottom": "14.5px", ":hover": { "background-color": "#207ea8" }, "background-color": "#238cbb", ":focus": { "background-color": "#207ea8" }, "border-radius": "24px" } }, "text": { "total": "Subtotal", "button": "Checkout" } }, "toggle": { "styles": { "toggle": { "background-color": "#238cbb", ":hover": { "background-color": "#207ea8" }, ":focus": { "background-color": "#207ea8" } }, "count": { "font-size": "13px" } } } }, }); }); } })(); // ]]]]><![CDATA[></script> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A keepsake urn is a miniature urn designed to contain a small portion of your beloved pet’s cremated remains.

Pets are loved and cherished as members of the family and when a pet passes, it can be a time of strong emotions. There are many pet memorials you can purchase online that incorporate the ashes of your pet and honor their memory. Some families opt for a traditional <strong><a href="https://www.thelivingurn.com/pages/pet-zip-code">pet urn</a></strong> and keep the ashes with them in the home.
