After your pet's cremation, you're left with their ashes and a big question: what do I do with them? There are many creative and meaningful ways to honor your pet's remains — from traditional urns to innovative keepsakes.
Traditional Options
Pet Urns
The most common choice. Handcrafted urns come in wood, resin, ceramic, and metal. Choose one that matches your pet's personality and your home decor.
Keepsake Jars
Small glass keepsake jars hold a portion of ashes alongside fur, a collar tag, or dried flowers. They're beautiful display pieces for a memorial corner.
Creative Keepsake Ideas
Memorial Jewelry
Cremation jewelry holds a tiny amount of ashes in a pendant, bracelet, or ring. It's a way to carry your pet with you everywhere.
Keychain Urns
A cremation keychain is perfect for people who don't like wearing jewelry but want their pet close at all times.
Glass Art
Some artists incorporate pet ashes into blown glass sculptures, paperweights, or ornaments. Each piece is unique and becomes a work of art.
Vinyl Records
A growing trend: pressing a small amount of ashes into a vinyl record. Some companies create playable records with your pet's "song" — the sound of their bark, meow, or a song you both loved.
Tattoo Ink
Some tattoo artists will mix a tiny amount of pet ashes into the ink for a memorial tattoo. This creates a permanent, deeply personal tribute.
Scattering and Burial
Scattering in a Meaningful Location
Many pet parents choose to scatter ashes in a place their pet loved — a favorite park, beach, or hiking trail. Check local regulations first.
Garden Burial
Bury ashes in your garden with a memorial stone marking the spot. Plant a tree or flowers above them.
Reef Balls
For ocean-loving pets, some companies mix ashes into artificial reef balls that are placed in the ocean — creating a living memorial that supports marine life.
Splitting Ashes
You don't have to choose just one option. Many people split the ashes:
- Most in an urn for display
- A small portion in jewelry
- Another portion scattered or buried
