When your pet dies, a memorial may seem the best way to keep him alive in your memory. Burial is common – pet cemeteries exist across the country, but, in today’s world, this may not always be the best solution. People change work frequently and move. If leaving your beloved pet’s remains behind is not something you want to do, why not consider cremation. With so many different containers to choose from – including beautifully crafted wood pet urns, this may prove to be the logical solution.
Why Cremate Your Beloved Pet?
- People opt for cremation for any of several reasons. The most common are the following:
- You do not have to wonder if it is legal to bury your pet on your property or not. Even if it is legal, you should think of the next family who moves there. They may be shocked if they uncover the bones of something on their property
- If you live in an apartment, condo or townhouse, you cannot simply decide to bury your pet on the grounds or even in any “common” area. Cremation provides you with a simple solution to memorializing and taking care of your pet’s remains legally and with respect
- Cremation is an environmentally friendly alternative to burial. It requires no embalming. No extra space is taken up or land wasted.
- With cremation, you can take the ashes with you if you must leave your home to go elsewhere
- You can let the ashes fly into the wind or scatter them at your pet’s favorite spot whether it is a trail, a park or other often frequented area.
For those who are very attached to their pets, the ashes, when placed in elegant wood pet urns, gives them a sense of closure and closeness. They feel they are showing a respect for their favored animal.
For some, the devotion of them to their pet (or pets) and their pets to them extends beyond all boundaries. It is not a finite relationship. The practice of cremation allows them the chance to create a memorial and to keep them with them after death. In some instances, the request is made to mix the ashes of the pet with those of the human deceased. It is also possible to ask the wood pet urns be buried in the same grave as their human owners are.
Wood Pet Urns can be exquisite in design and practical in purpose. If you opt for cremation for any reason, consider these environmentally friendly means of disposing of and remembering your faithful family friend. Cremation and wood pet urns are an excellent means of preserving your memories until you want to let them go.
