“Love is a four-legged word.”
Dogs have been our loyal protectors for millennia, earning their title as "man's best friend." Their legacy is legendary, from iconic figures like Lassie and Rin Tin Tin to Jack London’s Buck inThe Call of the Wild, and the countless real-life heroes, seeing-eye dogs, military dogs, and therapy dogs. It's rare to find someone who doesn't smile at the sight of a playful puppy or feel a profound sense of loss when they part with their canine companion.
For thousands of years, humans have honored their dogs through memorial ceremonies. Archaeologists have uncovered dog burials dating back 14,000 years, with around 200 dog burials over 3,000 years old found in North America alone. From Siberia to the Great Plains, and across every continent except Antarctica, dogs have been remembered and revered for their love and service.
A beloved dog is truly a family member, deserving of a memorial that honors their loyalty and the special bond they shared with us.

When you are grieving, it’s challenging to find the right pet cremation urn or pet ashes jewelry to remember your dog. When you select a dog urn, it's crucial that find the correct size, based on the size of your pet. Urns hold a certain amount of ashes, and the right-sized pet cremation urn will give you the best experience.
Deciding where your dog's cremation urn will sit is an important part of this healing ritual. For outdoor burials, we recommend a durable dog urn that can withstand natural elements. For an urn that will remain in your home, you can choose from more delicate materials.
The size of your urn for dogs depends on their weight. As a general guideline, you’ll need approximately one cubic inch of urn capacity per pound of your pet’s weight. For a medium-sized dog, a dog urn with a capacity of 50–100 cubic inches are typically suitable. If you plan to share the ashes among family members, keepsake urns are a great option, allowing each loved one to keep a small portion as a cherished remembrance.
You can keep your pet’s ashes for as long as you wish. Many people choose to keep them in a special urn for dogs as a lasting tribute.
The placement of your pet’s urn is a deeply personal decision. Some prefer to keep it on a mantel, shelf, or bedside table, while others choose a private space like a closet or memorial nook.
Both cremation and burial are meaningful options, and the choice depends on your personal preference. Consider what feels right for you and best honors your pet’s memory.
The cost of pet cremation varies based on location and your dog’s weight. It’s best to contact a local crematorium for specific pricing and options.
During cremation, your pet is placed in a specialized chamber where high temperatures reduce the body to bone fragments, which are then processed into ashes. The ashes are carefully collected and placed in a dog urn for safekeeping.
