Memorial options
Every individual cremation already includes a scatter tube and a personalised Remembrance Box. If you'd like something more lasting, here's what I can arrange. Nothing here needs deciding today.
Ways to keep them with you
Rather than an online basket, I'd rather talk you through these properly, so I can show you sizes and tell you honestly what suits your pet.
Caskets
These are solid wood or bamboo rather than veneer, and every one can take a personalised engraved brass nameplate. Sizes go by your pet's weight, so tell me roughly what they weighed and I'll tell you which size they need.
- Eden casket
-
Natural or dark bamboo, with a magnetic catch · Three sizes, for pets up to 10kg, 21kg and 33kg
The casket included in the Keepsake Farewell. Light, warm and understated, and the one most families choose when they want something that sits on a shelf without announcing itself.
- Solid oak
-
Responsibly sourced solid oak with a soft satin finish · Four sizes, plus a slim vertical version for pets up to 20kg
The traditional shape, in real oak rather than veneer. There is also a photo-front version, so their picture sits on the front of the casket itself.
- Solid ash
-
Solid ash, natural finish or a rich mahogany stain · Six sizes in natural, five in mahogany
Clean lines and a smooth open grain. The mahogany stain has a raised base and a stepped lid, which suits an older room better than the plainer natural finish.
- White painted
-
Solid wood, double-coated white paint · Cuboid in two sizes, rectangular in three
For a lighter, more modern room. The cuboid has a photo front and a sliding base, so you can fit it yourself without tools.
- Tribute Box
-
Solid wood with a personalised engraved brass plaque · Sized to your pet
The casket included in the Treasured Farewell, and the one to ask about if you want their name on the casket itself rather than on a separate plate.
- Bamboo scatter pouch
-
Hand-woven split bamboo, fully biodegradable · One size
For burial, or for scattering somewhere that meant something. Biodegradable the whole way through, so it can go into the ground as it is.
Urns
If you'd rather have something shaped like them, or something so discreet nobody would know what it is, both exist. These are the ranges I can get hold of. There are ceramic designs as well, Lotus Blossom in a white glaze and Midnight Blossom in a deep one, and I'll send you photos of those if they sound more like you.
Breed cast urns, dogs
Around two dozen breeds, hand painted, from Labradors, Border Collies and Cockapoos through to Rottweilers, Greyhounds and Jack Russells. There is also a plainer Dog with Bone design if your dog was a mix of everything. Tell me the breed and I'll tell you honestly whether the likeness is any good.
Cat urns
Sitting, sleeping, resting and cat-on-a-book designs, in hand-painted cast stone or carved wood, in black, white, brown and colourpoint. The sleeping designs are the ones most people pick.
Rabbit and small pet urns
Rabbit-on-a-book and guinea pig designs, sized properly for a smaller pet rather than a dog urn with less in it. Small pets get the same care here as anything else.
Traditional wooden urns
Solid ash and solid oak in the classic shape, with a raised base and a stepped lid, in a natural finish or a rich mahogany stain. The plainest option here, and the one that ages best.
Heart and contemporary urns
The Amberley heart in smooth natural beech with a golden paw print, the Teardrop in FSC-certified wood, and the Woodland Bronze in soft earthy tones. The Amberley also comes as a small keepsake, for holding back a little of their ashes.
Tribute Frames and photo urns
The most discreet option there is. Their ashes sit in a concealed pod behind a photograph, wall-hung or free-standing, so what visitors see is your pet rather than an urn.
Smaller keepsakes
- Ash jewellery and keyrings
- Stainless steel pendants and keyrings that hold a small amount of ash, in paw print, heart, pillar and dog or cat shapes. Each comes with a funnel and pin so you can fill it at home, in your own time.
- Photo frames and print kits
- Including a rotating frame that holds two photographs, and a frame made to hold a photo alongside their paw print and nose print together.
- Additional Remembrance Boxes
- Additional Remembrance Boxes are £12.50 each, for when more than one person would like their own keepsake to hold on to.
I haven't put a price next to every one of these, because they change with size and I'd rather quote you properly than publish a figure that turns out to be wrong when you call.
Tell me what you have in mind and I'll send you photos and prices the same day, or bring a few options with me when I return your pet's ashes so you can see them in person. Nothing here needs deciding now, and there's no obligation to take any of it.
A little something to remember them by
Every individual cremation includes a personalised Remembrance Box, prepared especially for your pet. Inside are small keepsakes to help you remember them.

- Ash keepsake vial (optional)
- Glass vial of whiskers (where possible)
- Paw print and nose print (where possible)
- Pocket Hug keepsake
Additional Remembrance Boxes are £12.50 each, for when more than one person would like their own keepsake to hold on to.
