Default 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!!!

Default 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.

Hi Laurie,

I bought my mom's urn from Mainely Urns: http://www.mainelyurns.com/
They have a ruby colored cultured marble one, and since my mom's name is
Ruby, I thought it appropriate. Their prices are fairly reasonable, and
they have a lot of choices.

So sad about your boy.

You're absolutely right...the pricing is somewhat staggering, with many of the
urns clearly mass-produced items that shouldn't cost remotely what is asked.
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.

I just pickup Rusty's ashes in an urn. It looks ugly. I thought with
the money
they charged for an individual cremation, they should give me a
nicer
looking urn.

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.

Try someplace like this:

I particularly like this one and it's only $39.95.

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.

Those prices are an outrage. Why can't you use your own Urn? Have someone
make one for you out of wood.
