  • Pet urns are becoming quite artful ways to memorialize a beloved pet. In fact, some are stretching the notion of a traditional urn. There is a company that makes soft pillow urns [See http://goodgriefpetloss.wordpress.com and click on Pet Memorial Products for lots of options]. An artist I met while being interviewed on the Pet Playground radio show for my new book “Good Grief: Finding Peace After Pet Loss” creates stunning glass paperweights using a small amount of the pet’s ashes. In the firing process, the ashes turn into a sparkling silver “coin” amidst the swirling colors. The artist’s name is Steve Claypatch, ascensionartglass.com/pet_memorials.

    In my book, I devote a chapter to creative ways to memorialize a departed animal companion. It’s not the money you spend (some people have diamonds made from their pet’s ashes, to the tune of up to $18,000!), or how artful the attempt. All that matters is that you find personal closure and let your pet know how much you love(d) him or her and how thankful you are to have shared your lives.
