Pet Urns for Ashes

Pet Urns for Ashes

Most of our pet urns are small porcelain sculptures, such as a dog curled up asleep, a cat cradled in a pair of hands or a heart with a tiny figure in the middle, alongside lidded metal designs with gold paw prints in eight colours.

They hold 0.25 to 3.3 litres, and each can sit on a display plinth with your pet's name on a brass or silver plaque, engraved free.

Choosing a pet urn

Finding the right size

Allow one cubic inch of space for every pound your pet weighed. That's about 0.2 litres for a 5kg cat, 0.4 litres for a 10kg dog and 1.1 litres for a 30kg dog. Every listing shows its capacity, and if you're between two sizes, the bigger one is the safer choice.

A wooden pet ashes box

If you'd prefer a box to a sculpture, the solid oak keepsake casket has the same high-gloss finish as our adult caskets and can carry an engraved plaque with your pet's name.

Keeping part of the ashes

Some owners keep a little of their pet's ashes at home and scatter the rest on a favourite walk. The porcelain bunny urn holds 0.25 litres and makes a good keepsake, and a small scatter tube holds 0.2 litres for the scattering.

As well as dog and cat designs, we have a horse urn, a heart with a small horse at its centre.

Common questions about pet urns

Can I use any urn for my pet's ashes?

Yes, as long as it's big enough. Our small urns hold up to 1.25 litres, and the largest suits a dog of up to about 30kg. For a bigger dog, the large sleeping dog urn holds 3.3 litres.

What can I do with my pet's ashes?

You can keep them at home in an urn, or bury or scatter them somewhere your pet loved. An urn gives you time to decide, because the ashes can still be scattered or buried later. We've written more about what to do with pet ashes.

Can a pet urn go outside or be buried?

Our porcelain, ceramic and metal pet urns are made for indoor display, on a shelf or mantelpiece. To bury your pet's ashes, use one of our biodegradable urns, and make sure you have the landowner's permission if it isn't your own garden.

Do you have urns for rabbits and horses?

Yes. The porcelain bunny urn holds 0.25 litres, enough for most rabbits. The horse urn holds 1.6 litres, so it's made for a keepsake portion of a horse's ashes rather than all of them.
