Heart shaped ashes urn with pawprint

A shape that holds what words cannot

A pawprint says everything about the bond you shared. This heart-shaped ceramic pet urn for ashes carries that print at its centre, in a form as clear and honest as the presence you are missing.

Hand-modelled ceramic with a bronze finish

Each urn is modelled by hand from clay. The process demands precision and patience, and you see that in every detail of the finished piece. The bronze finish gives the ceramic a rich, deep colour that holds its quality indoors and out. Ceramic is resilient across changing temperatures, but it does benefit from some shelter in prolonged wet conditions. A sheltered spot on a terrace or under an overhang works well for outdoor placement.

The pawprint as a personal mark

The print on this urn is not decoration. It is a recognition of the way your dog or cat made their presence felt: on the sofa, on the floor, in your memory. Giving that mark a permanent place here is a way of holding that memory in a form that does not fade.

Personalisation

If you would like to personalise this cremation urn, engraving is available. A name, a date, or a short phrase that reflects who your animal was to you. That makes this piece entirely your own.

Practical things worth knowing

You do not need to decide straight away how much of the ashes you want to keep here. This urn can hold the full volume of your pet's ashes, or you can keep a portion here and place the rest elsewhere, in a piece of memorial jewellery, for example, or scattered somewhere that mattered.

Working out the volume and transferring ashes

If you have not yet received ashes from the crematorium, they will usually be able to tell you the approximate quantity. If you have already received ashes in a standard container, the contents can be transferred to this urn yourself. It is straightforward to do at home.

Caring for the urn outdoors

This pet urn for ashes is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Ceramic is durable but not unbreakable, so choose a stable surface where the urn cannot easily be knocked over. Outside, protect it from sustained rain and frost to keep it looking its best over the long term. A sheltered position makes a real difference.

If you are looking for something that does justice to who your pet was, this urn is worth considering. If you have questions about engraving options or would like to talk through the right size for your needs, we are happy to help at whatever pace suits you.
