If this is your way of life, you no doubt revel in the constant motion and joyful chaos they bring to your family's day-to-day. And you are no doubt also aware of the ratio of your life-years to theirs, and the bitter loss when one of them reaches their end of life.
Knowing that several of your furry friends will pass away during your lifetime, there is a way to simplify the rites of passage for each of them, by having a communal urn at the ready.
Meadow Large Urn, holds ashes from pets up to 200 lbs. |
When one of our pets passes on to pet heaven, their cremation ashes may go into an individual urn, but a communal urn is another option. Each pet may be added to one large urn in turn over the years, each in their own plastic baggie. And their tags could go in the upper sphere of any of our sphere-topped large urns.
The benefit of having one communal urn is that your pets will all be together eventually, and you will have a beautiful urn on your mantel, book shelf or china cabinet that will house them all in one place, versus several small individual urns.
I have found that in the first days after losing one of our pets, when we've received the ashes back from the crematory, it's been helpful to my family to gather together and conduct a brief funeral ceremony for our beloved dog or cat. We bring out the communal urn, add the cremains within it, then each of us says a few words of remembrance. It helps us to process our grief together, and begin the healing.
