Building Your Memorial

 

YOU ARE 9 EASY STEPS AWAY FROM DESIGNING A ONE OF A KIND PET URN

CREATE A LIVING MEMORIAL TO THE ONE WHO GAVE YOU SO MUCH AND ASKED FOR SO LITTLE

Step1: Decide what inside options you would like for your custom pet urn such as a poem engraved on the memorial tray. You can choose one of our stock poems or have your own poem engraved on the tray.  Engrave a heart felt saying on the picture frame inside of pet cremation urn. We are happy to accommodate any special request that you may have.

 

Step 2. All of our marble engraved urns are handcrafted in America from solid cherry, walnut and maple wood. Think about where you would like to display your pet urn and consider what wood type would look best in this area. Choose a wood you like

 

Step 3. Determine the size of your pet urn.  Below are the total outside measurements of the pet urns along with the weight size.

Size Length Width Height Pet Weight Memorial Storage Area
Small 9 3/8″ 6 3/4″ 5 1/4 0-80 lbs 9″ X 6″ X 2 3/8″ (L X W X H)
Medium 9 3/8″ 6 3/4″ 6 1/4 81-120 lbs 9″ X 6″ X 2 3/8″ (L X W X H)
Large 9 3/8″ 6 3/4″ 7 1/4 121-150 lbs 9″ X 6″ X 2 3/8″ (L X W X H)
Ex-Large 9 3/8″ 6 3/4″ 8 1/4 151-220 lbs 9″ X 6″ X 2 3/8″ (L X W X H)

 

Step 4. First Determine If You Would Like Your Marble Placed On The Front Or Top Of The Urn.  Most customer choose to have the marble placed on the front of the urn because the marble can be custom cut to allow for more engraving space. The marble on top of the urn is approximately 6″ in length and 4″ in height and can not vary from this size because it is framed into the top of the urn. If you are placing the urn on a mantel you may wish to have the marble on the front so the photo is the first thing you see when looking at the urn.

 

Step 5: Give some thought on the text you would like engraved on the marble. Do you want a photo engraved on the urn?  If so remember that the photo will take up room and limit the amount of text that can be engraved. Do you have a favorite photo that you want engraved? If so; is it is a photo of your pet lying down? That photo may work best with a landscape layout (more information about layout formats below).  Don’t want to decide let us do the design work for you, we will show you what looks best, you will receive a proof of the marble engraving and if you don’t like it we will make changes at no additional charge until you are completely satisfied with the outcome.  We understand how important a proper pet memorial is to helping you grieve while also honoring the memory of your pet forever.
