A pet urn is more than just a container for ashes. It’s a tangible reminder of your pet’s presence. The paw print symbolises the mark your pet has left on your life and in your heart. Seeing and touching the urn can bring comfort and help ease the pain of loss. It provides a peaceful space where you can reflect and remember your beloved companion.
Different Types of Pet Urns with Paw Prints
There are many types and styles of pet urns with paw prints available today, so you can find one that matches your personal taste, home décor, and the special memory of your pet. Common materials include ceramic, wood, metal, porcelain, natural stone, and glass – each with its own character and appearance.
Ceramic Pet Urns with Paw Print
Ceramic is a popular choice thanks to its soft, warm look. Ceramic pet urns are often handmade, making each one unique. The paw print may be subtly embedded into the ceramic or finished with a striking glaze, creating a beautiful and heartfelt tribute.
Wooden Pet Urns with Paw Print
Wood brings warmth and a natural feel, making it an ideal material for a calm, peaceful interior. The paw print is usually carefully engraved or carved into the wood, giving it a serene and authentic look.
Metal Pet Urns with Paw Print
Pet urns made of brass, bronze, stainless steel or aluminium are valued for their durability and elegant appearance. A paw print can be finely engraved or added in relief, resulting in a timeless and refined piece. These urns fit beautifully into modern homes.
Porcelain Pet Urns with Paw Print
Porcelain is known for its refined, glossy, and delicate look. Fired at high temperatures, it’s strong and durable despite its fragile appearance. Porcelain pet urns often feature a soft and graceful design, with the paw print subtly worked into the glaze or highlighted as a contrasting detail. They suit bright, stylish interiors perfectly.
Natural Stone Pet Urns with Paw Print
Natural stone pet urns, such as granite or marble, feel solid and enduring. They are especially suitable for outdoor placement, such as in a garden memorial spot. The paw print can be engraved, possibly alongside your pet’s name and dates, to create a lasting tribute.
Glass Pet Urns with Paw Print
Glass offers unique possibilities due to its transparency and the way it plays with light. The paw print can be artistically embedded within the glass or placed on its surface, resulting in a stunning and one-of-a-kind glass pet urn for ashes.
How Is the Paw Print Made?
If you decide to have an urn made with a paw print, there are several ways this can be done:
- Handmade paw print: Often created at the time of farewell, using clay or ink. This exact print can be incorporated into the urn design.
- Engraving: A commonly used method where the paw print is precisely engraved into the material, often alongside a name and date.
- Relief: The paw print is raised above the surface so it can be felt by touch, adding a tactile element to the tribute.
Thanks to this thoughtful and detailed approach, each urn becomes a truly unique and meaningful reminder of your beloved pet.
Personal Touch for Extra Comfort
In addition to the paw print, you can usually add personal elements such as your pet’s name, birth and passing dates, or a short message or poem. These extra details make the urn even more personal and comforting.
Where to Place a Pet Urn with Paw Print
You can place a pet urn in your home or garden. A small memorial corner on a shelf or table, perhaps with a photo, candle, or flowers, can create a peaceful tribute. Many people also choose to place the urn outdoors, near a favourite spot where their pet loved to lie.
If placing the urn outside, it’s important to choose weather-resistant materials like granite, stainless steel, or bronze. These materials remain beautiful, even when exposed to the elements. Learn more about urns suitable for outdoor use.
