Dog urn 'Pillow, bone and pawprint'

A quiet place for a faithful companion

Your dog was always there. On the sofa, at your feet, beside you on the hardest days and the ordinary ones alike. Now that place is empty, and it helps to have somewhere to put the memory. This small pet urn for ashes holds a symbolic portion of your dog's remains and stands for everything the two of you shared.

Hand-modelled from high-quality clay

This keepsake urn is shaped by hand from high-quality clay, which means no two pieces are identical. During firing, a champagne-coloured tint bonds to the ceramic surface, producing a consistent but living colour with quiet depth. Pressed into the cushion form are two images: a bone and a pawprint. They are not decorative details. They are points of recognition, drawn directly from the life you shared with your dog.

What this urn holds, and how it fits into your arrangements

The urn holds a symbolic quantity of ashes rather than the full volume from a cremation. That makes it well suited to sit alongside a larger pet cremation urn, holding a small meaningful portion while the rest of the ashes are kept or scattered elsewhere. If you are unsure how much ash your dog's cremation produced, your pet crematorium can tell you, and they can also advise on dividing the ashes between vessels.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use

This urn can be used both indoors and outside. Ceramic is naturally porous, so prolonged exposure to rain or frost can cause fine surface cracks or some fading over time. On a sheltered outdoor spot, such as a covered veranda or a protected corner of the garden, it will sit without difficulty. For a fully exposed position through all weathers, a sheltered placement is advisable.

Practical details

Ashes are placed into the urn through an opening in the base, which can be sealed with adhesive once filled. If you are working out whether a keepsake urn is the right size for your needs, your pet crematorium can confirm the volume of ashes and advise on dividing them between a main urn and a smaller vessel.

A shape that carries meaning

The cushion form is deliberate. It refers to rest, to the familiar spot where your dog settled. The pawprint and the bone make it specific to a life rather than a sentiment, and that specificity is what makes this cremation urn feel personal even before a single letter has been added to it.

Personalisation options

If you would like to add a name or a date, a small engraved label or a personalised stand placed beneath the urn is worth considering. Either approach adds something without touching the hand-modelled surface. If you are unsure what would work best, we are happy to talk it through.

Take as long as you need. This decision does not have to be made quickly, and we are here whenever you are ready.
