A little guidance
Help choosing pet memorials
Buying guides and care advice written for this range: what to measure, what matters and what to skip.
From our guides
This page holds memorials and keepsakes for a dog or cat who has died: metal and aluminum cremation urns, a solid wood urn with a photo frame, resin memorial stones with a dog or cat figure, a personalized paw memorial night light and a holographic projection keepsake box. It is for anyone looking for a way to remember a pet at home or in the yard, and for friends choosing a sympathy gift.
Choosing a memorial
There is no right way to remember a pet. Some people want the ashes close, in an urn on a shelf beside a photo. Others prefer a stone in the yard where their dog used to lie in the sun, or a small light that comes on in the evening. Think about where you want the memorial to be and how visible you would like it.
Take your time. Many people find it easier to choose a memorial a few weeks after a loss, once the first rush of decisions has passed.
Cremation urns
Urns hold your pet's ashes after private cremation. The range includes metal urns with engraved messages, small aluminum keepsake urns and a solid wood urn with a photo frame on the front. Wood suits a home display; metal is durable and can be sealed.
Check the capacity against your pet's size. As a rough guide, urn makers commonly allow about one cubic inch of capacity for each pound of body weight before cremation, so a 50 lb dog needs an urn of around 50 cubic inches or more. Your crematory can confirm the volume of the ashes. Small keepsake urns hold just a portion, which suits families sharing ashes.
Memorial stones and garden markers
Resin memorial stones with a dog or cat figure can sit in a yard, a flower bed or indoors. They mark a burial place or a favorite spot without needing a full headstone. Resin is weather resistant and light enough to move.
If you bury a pet at home, check your state and local rules first, as some places restrict home burial. Choose a spot away from water sources and utility lines, and bury deep enough that wildlife will not disturb it.
Lights and keepsakes
A paw memorial night light glows softly in the evening and can be personalized with a name. A holographic projection box displays a photo or image in a small keepsake case. These suit people who want a quiet reminder rather than a formal urn.
Keepsakes also work well alongside an urn, or for family members who live elsewhere and want something of their own.
Sympathy gifts
Losing a pet is losing a family member, and a thoughtful gift can mean a great deal. A night light or a small keepsake is a gentle choice when you do not know someone's plans for ashes. Include the pet's name in a card; people often find it comforting to hear their pet remembered by name.
Avoid large urns as surprise gifts, since the family may already have arranged one through their vet or crematory.
Grief and support
Grief for a pet can be as deep as any other loss, and children and other pets in the home may grieve too. Keeping routines steady for a surviving pet helps them adjust, and some will search for their companion for a while.
If grief feels overwhelming, you do not have to manage it alone. Many veterinary schools and humane organizations run pet loss support lines, and your vet clinic can often point you to local support groups.
What size urn do I need for my dog?
A common guide is about one cubic inch of capacity per pound of body weight. Your crematory can tell you the volume of the ashes.
Can I bury my pet in my backyard?
In many places yes, but rules vary by state and town. Check local regulations and choose a spot away from water and utility lines.
What is a good memorial gift for someone who lost a pet?
A personalized night light, a small keepsake or a framed photo are gentle choices, with a card that mentions the pet by name.
Are pet memorial stones weatherproof?
Resin stones are made to sit outdoors and resist weather. Bring them in or clean them if they become stained over time.
Can I keep some of my pet's ashes in a keepsake?
Yes, small keepsake urns hold a portion of the ashes, which lets family members each keep some.
