Pet urns (kinda off topic)
Has anyone looked at urns for their dearly departed cats (or dogs)? OMG!!
Talk about ripping you off when you're vulnerable!! I looked at some for $500.00!!!!!! I was tempted to call them and bitch them out for their stinkin' prices. I did settle on a walnut colored box that has a ceramic Basset Hound on top. There's a brass plate on the front for engraving. Even this one cost $125.00!! It's definitely worth it to me, and I'm glad I am able to afford it. I just can't believe these places and their prices. It's absolutely horrendous!!! ·.·´¨ ¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) Laurie ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ -:¦:- ((¸¸ ·.· *~*LiveLoveLaugh*~* All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. ~Abraham Lincoln |

Pet urns (kinda off topic)
When I needed such a thing, I found a pretty basket with a lid and put the
bag with the ashes in it until I did something with them. A neighbor used a metal "Milk Bone" can she got around Christmas for her poodle dog. There are many thins that work and maybe have more meaning than the fancy ones. "~*LiveLoveLaugh*~" wrote in message ... Has anyone looked at urns for their dearly departed cats (or dogs)? OMG!!

Their prices are fairly reasonable, and they have a lot of choices. So sad about your boy. Patti aka Mishi |

In article , "~*LiveLoveLaugh*~" wrote:

Granted, it isn't a mass-market sell-by-the-zillions item, but still... I've been able to find acceptable, if not stellar, urns with judicious online shopping. Between eBay and various online merchants, some of whom might have attractive units on promotional specials, one can generally do OK. Happily there's no emergency need for immediacy, so one can poke around for a few days and ponder the various options. Art |

It looks ugly. I thought with the money they charged for an individual cremation, they should give me a nicer looking urn. |

It's absolutely horrendous!!! Thatsd just gouging folks. There are plenty of containers that will do the job of an urn. There are even urns that aren't 'urns for the dead' that are available. Its just a matter of looking. Pottery places, and of all places, garden wholesalers, have great urns, and no $500 price tag either. Shmoggleberry's & Fluffy's ashes (each cost $150 to cremate) came in a sealed plastic bag, placed in a tastefully decorated cardboard box. The boxes 'live' in my wardrobe - I dont' want to put them in an urn in case someone or more likely somecat knocked them off and spilt the contents. Joel wants to sprinkle Fluffy's ashes on the veggie garden, but I want the ashes kept with us wherever we go. I also can't imagine *splitting* the ashes so that half goes ont eh veggie patch and half stays with us. that somehow seems.... wrong. I know logically that its just dust and it doesn't matter, and yet.... well, you folks udnerstand. Yowie |

Pet urns (kinda off topic)
We've purchased urns for all three of ours that are "figurine" urns.
Selena and Hobbes are in white ceramic cats and Sam is in a gray pewter cat. The white ones cost $75 each and Sam's was $95. I could have bought cheaper but fortunately didn't have to. We keep them on the mantle and have pictures of each of them as well as their cremation certificates - a small memorial if you will. It sounds like our crematory is reasonably priced. Julie |
