When a beloved dog dies, it isn't just an animal. He is a special part of a family, and lives in a special place in our hearts. That is why having him cremated and kept in an urn lets us take him home again and be placed in a spot that may have been his favorite during life.

Many people who have never owned or loved a dog, don't realize how much it hurts to lose one. That's why cremation is an option when the dog dies. And that's why there is such a great variety of dog cremation urns to place the dog's ashes into. Having that urn at home always is a reminder of the love that the animal has given us.

There are so many beautiful dog cremation urns to choose from. Sometimes the choice depends a lot on our budget. Whichever urn is chosen would still look nice on a mantel or a shelf on a bookcase. A popular choice for a dog cremation urn is the custom painted urn. The vendor will create an exact replica of the dog, paint it the same colors, and have his name engraved on the side. Some urns have the dog lying in a basket, or sleeping on a rock. Since these are custom made, they may cost a little more, but seeing the dog's image on the urn is a special memory.

There are very attractive dog cremation urns made of marble. They come in different shapes, such as rectangular, vase-shaped, box-shaped, and even small marble jars. Sometimes this depends on the size of the dog. The marble urns come in a variety of beautiful colors such as amethyst, beige, cobalt, emerald, black, gray, rose, pink, merlot, navy, dark green, teal, white and many other varieties of shades. These colorful urns can also have a white swirl background in them to make them even prettier.

The urns also come in religious themes with angels, a bible or a cross on them. The other types of dog cremation urns come in biodegradable, natural stone, bronze, ceramic, cloisonne, glass, metal, brass and wooden. There are also such unique urns such as keepsake urns. Nameplates and appliques are also purchased to be placed on the urn to name the dog, and his date of birth and date of death. With so many dog cremation urns to choose from, it is easy to keep the adored pet still close to the family with this urn in the home. - 29953
