By Shibalik Sanyal


In our society people feels pets are as a family member. The death of a loved pet one is like the death of a family member. Who else is capable of so much love, so much loyalty, and so many memories? When the moment comes, pet urns for ashes, pet memorial markers, and garden stones can be a wonderful way to memorialize your pet. For many people, finding a beautiful and dignified way to memorialize your lost loved one is a way to work through the painful grieving process.

Unfortunately your pet-friend has passed away and you are now looking for an urn into which you can place their remains. But you want something that is little more unique than normal, simple handmade wooden urns that are readily available today, may help you. There is a wide range of unique handmade wooden urns that would certainly meet your choice.

Still these Funeral Urns or Urns for ashes were and are used in many civilizations. Cremation Urns were used by the ancient Greeks to hold the remains of their loved ones after cremation. In Bavaria a Kings heart was placed in an Urn after death. This tradition was recently practiced in 1916 when the heart of King Otto was placed in an Urn. Urns for ashes have also been common among Anglo Saxons in England. The ancient Romans placed these Cremation urns in small niches in collective tombs known as columbarium. This literally means a dovecote. The interior of dovecotes has niches for the doves. This style was used for creating a collective tomb or memorial for the remains of the deceased loved ones.
