Q: What is keepsake jewellery?

Keepsake jewellery allows you to keep a token amount of your beloved pet's cremated remains with you all the time. They are popular with people who want to feel close to their pets even though they are no longer with them. Keepsake jewellery can be worn as a pendant necklace or bracelet charm. Various sizes of keepsake jewellery are available, but the most common size holds around half a teaspoon of cremated remains.

Q: What is a keepsake urn?

A keepsake urn is a small urn designed to hold a portion of your beloved pet's cremated remains. They are commonly used when several family members wish to keep a token amount of remains. Alternatively, some people prefer to keep a small sample of remains and inter or scatter the rest. This is especially useful if family members have differing views on whether the remains should be kept or scattered.

Q: How do I transfer my pet's ashes to my new urn?

If your beloved pet has been cremated by us, we will transfer their cremated remains into your chosen urn for you. If you have had your pet cremated elsewhere, their remains should have been supplied to you in a temporary urn. The remains themselves will be stored within this urn inside a sealed plastic bag. Most people prefer to keep the remains in the bag and transfer them to their chosen urn. To do this, simply open the temporary urn, remove the plastic bag and place it in your new urn. If you do not wish to keep the remains in the bag or wish to separate them into several keepsake urns, simply cut one corner of the plastic bag to create a small hole. Then pour the remains into your new urn or urns, through a funnel to prevent spillage.

Q: Why should I cremate my pet?

When a beloved pet dies, it can be difficult to know how to say goodbye. For many people, the thought of burial or cremation is simply too painful. However, there are a number of reasons why cremation may be the best option for both you and your pet. It is often more cost-effective than other methods of disposition. Cremation allows you to keep your pet's ashes as a keepsake or to scatter them in a place that was special to your pet. While there is no single right way to deal with the death of a pet, cremation may be the best option for those who want to keep their memories close at hand in a beautifully designed urn.

Q: Where can I place my keepsake or urn?

At Pet Haven, we understand that the loss of a pet can be a difficult and emotional time. We offer a wide range of beautiful hand-made urns to help you memorialise your beloved pet. Our urns are made of high-quality materials and are designed to complement your home. They can be placed inside or outside, depending on your preference. If you choose to bury your pet in the garden, our urns are also the perfect size to fit in their favourite spot.

Q: What size pet urns should I purchase?

We offer a wide range of urns to suit all budgets and preferences. And because we know that pets come in all shapes and sizes, we carry urns catering for pets weighing from 1kg up to 65kg. A general guide is one cup of ashes per nine kgs, but crematory processes can vary. If you are unsure about the size you need, we recommend that you reach out to us to discuss with an expert. With a little bit of planning, you can be sure to choose the perfect pet urn to cherish your beloved pet’s memory.
