The Urn Review

Death is a natural part of life, and as such, our beloved pets must also head to the pearly white gates. But why bury them in our backyards when we can keep their beautiful spirits with us?

When you lose a beloved pet, it can almost be like losing one of the family. Many of us develop a close relationship with our pet, enjoying the unconditional love they always show us, even when we’ve had a bad day and snapped at them. We could easily memorialize our friends on our mantles and bookshelves with wooden pet urns. Paying homage to your pet by placing them where you can cherish their memory most would be the ultimate testament to your friendship.

Although I know it’s become something of a cliché today, I really did consider our golden retriever to be more than just a pet. Jasper was like a full-fledged member of the family, and he grew up with our son Ralph. The two of them were inseparable in the early days, and Jasper demonstrated great patience when Ralph would pull his ears and tail without knowing better.

When Jasper passed away last year of old age, we called Ralph, who was away at college. He didn’t want to betray much emotion over the phone, but I could tell he was just as heartbroken as I was. I went online and bought a wood pet urn to help commemorate the long, fulfilling life Jasper led during his time on earth.
