			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1674" title="Medium Oak Best Friends Adoration Pet Cremation Urn" src="http://www.perfectmemorials.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/16224.mediumoakbestfri_lrg_0.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" />It&#8217;s always heart wrenching whenever a pet dies, usually for the entire family. It&#8217;s like this connection is just totally cut off. And more than that, all of the memories of childhood connected to the pet feel like they&#8217;re cut off too. But one thing that can make the whole situation much easier is having a way to remember the pets. That way, it&#8217;s like they aren&#8217;t really gone. The memory of them will live on and on all by itself.<span id="more-1673"></span></p>
<p>Urns</p>
<p>One effective way to achieve this feeling is with a <a href="http://www.perfectmemorials.com/search-advanced-result/?keywords=adoration+oak&amp;search_in_description=1" target="_blank">pet cremation urn</a>. These come in various different shapes, sizes, and materials, but one of the best ones are oak wood pet urns. You can mount a picture on the urn, as well as the name of the pt, their name, their years of life, and some words that will help you remember what life with your pet was like, and all of the memories you associate with that pet.</p>
<p>The oval shaped frame for your favorite photo, and special engravings for the urn are optional extra. Sometimes it might be enough just to have the pet nearby, so that you can remember.</p>
<p>Oak</p>
<p>The good thing about using oak is that it&#8217;s a reliable material to use. You hardly want to use inferior wood that might fall apart in the slightest amount of stress or trauma since this would be disastrous if there are remains inside that could become a problem if they fall out. But with oak and other similar materials you&#8217;ll know that things will work out. It&#8217;s also important in the sense that you want something that looks nice and that has a certain amount of veneer and professionalism to it. In this way you&#8217;ll ensure that the proper respect is given to your animal.</p>
<p>After all, the entire point of having a remembrance to your pet in the first place is so that you can remember them in the proper way. That&#8217;s why appearances are so important, they help you engage the memory in the right way and help you to remember all of the good times with your pet in a way that allows them to live on in the present the way they do in the past. They can live on in all of you memories and in the memories of everyone who looks at the urn and remembers your pet.</p>

Let&#8217;s face it, nobody does death well. Children may not understand the concept of dying; that their precious pet is gone forever. There are things we can do as parents to help children grapple with pet loss.<span id="more-1666"></span></p>
<p>Have a Pre-emptive Talk</p>
<p>If your beloved pet is aging or ill, a pre-emptive talk with your children is of particular importance. Even if your pet is happy and healthy the talk will stand on its own merit. At some point, children should be given tools for coping with deaths of family members, friends and/or pets. In fact, the death of their pet may be their first encounter with dying and death.</p>
<p>Young children can&#8217;t comprehend their relationship with a pet coming to an end. Parents should speak truth and explain that death is permanent. We shouldn&#8217;t sugar-coat the tragic event by saying that Fido or Fluffy went to live with a relative. We should reassure them that just because their pet dies, it doesn&#8217;t mean we will die soon.</p>
<p>After Death</p>
<p>When a family pet dies it is beneficial to involve your child in memorializing their friend. After all, their animal companion was a source of unconditional love and a loyal playmate. Likely, your child was responsible for a portion of the care and feeding of their pet. They deserve an opportunity to honor them in death.</p>
<p>Participating in a ritual, such as a memorial service will provide immediate comfort and help children understand the finality of death. Take them with you to select a cremation urn that reflects the personality of your unique family pet. A large variety of pet urns are available from the personalized cat figure atop a basket to a traditional styled urn with painted paw prints.</p>
<p>Encourage your child to invite several close friends to a pet memorial service. Ask the guests arrive at the service prepared to share a poem, story or letter about reasons their pet is important to them.</p>
<p>It is becoming a custom for parents of deceased pets to plant flowers or even a tree as a living memorial. You might end the service by having each guest plant flower seeds in a pre-prepared flower bed.</p>
<p>The idea behind a pet memorial service is to soften your family&#8217;s grief, while sharing with others the blessings the family pet brought into your lives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1664" title="Vantage Paramount Urn Burial Container" src="http://www.perfectmemorials.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/vantageparamountburi_lrg_0.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" />You should not pick out funeral urns in the same manner you pick out running shoes. Your shoes should reflect your personality, but burial urns should reflect the personality of the deceased. There are few possessions that you will carry with you through the rest of your life. Every time you look at your urn, you want to feel the presence of your loved one. You want to hear your dog’s bark, your cat’s meow, or your grandmother’s perfume. This makes purchase an urn a personal matter.<span id="more-1663"></span></p>
<p>When selecting an urn, think about the personality of the deceased person or pet you want to remember. What were their favorite colors? Was there a symbol, shape, or color that you associate with the deceased for a personal reason? Look for burial urns that reflect the themes of your loved one’s life or the hobbies they spent most of their life enjoying. Look for funeral urns that make you think of your deceased loved one in some manner.</p>
<p>While shopping for urns, also think about where you will place the urn. This should be a safe place where it will not get knocked over or kicked, but it should also be a place where you can enjoy the urn. Once you identify the spot where your urn will sit, think about the size and shape of urn that will look good in that space. You still want your urn to reflect the personality and life of the deceased, but it shouldn’t stick out like a sore thumb in your home, either.</p>
<p>When you pick out a pair of shoes, you are typically in a relaxed state of mind. Selecting funeral urns brings on a lot of emotions, and you may have to focus on making the best choice with a rational mind. Rather than going all out with a design, style, or color that is over-the-top, focus on the personality of your loved one. What would they like their remains to rest in? How would that urn look in your home?</p>
<p>This is a personal decision, and it should be made with care and considerable thought. If you choose wisely, this urn will forever keep memories of your beloved alive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1661" title="Large Vermilion Paw Print Brass Cremation Urn" src="http://www.perfectmemorials.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/8652.vermilionpawprin_lrg_0.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" />It is not possible to compare how losing a pet affects one person vs. another. However, the death of a beloved companion can prove exceptionally distressing to seniors. Family, friends or caregivers can help seniors cope with pet loss by guiding them toward something positive.<span id="more-1660"></span></p>
<p>A positive action that helps make the grieving process somewhat easier is to take senior on a trip to look at pet cremation urns. This helps get the senior outside herself and involved in the process of creating a lasting homage to her precious companion.</p>
<p>Due to an evolving trend of pet owners choosing to cremate their deceased pets, cremation urns are now available in a huge array of styles, shapes and materials. If you are ever honored to assist a person in their selection of pet cremation urns, be mindful that as we age, we do not like to rush.</p>
<p>Just step back and give him time to compare cremation urns made of brass, pewter or traditional wood, such as cedar or rosewood. Classic cremation urns are also crafted from stone like marble and granite. You might suggest that he narrow his choices to 2-3 favorites and then start looking at various shaped receptacles.</p>
<p>From the simple, classic urn to figurine shapes of dogs, cats, teddy bears, dolphins and more, he should find one that sparks a loving memory. Colors play an important role when memorializing the departed animal&#8217;s spirit. From brilliant cobalt blue to earth tones he will recognize the real, right color that resonated with his pet companion&#8217;s vital energy.</p>
<p>If she is undecided, perhaps fatigued, suggest picking up brochures and returning the next day. You might stop at her favorite spot for flavored coffee or tea and gently offer to answer any questions.</p>
<p>Not only do seniors move slower, they take longer to make life-altering decisions. You might ask if she&#8217;s thought about keeping her pet&#8217;s cremains or ashes in remembrance rather than scattering them. If so, many pet owners are getting personalized photo frames or cubes that serve as pet cremation urns. These will complement her décor and serve as a permanent place of honor.</p>
<p>If he plans a distant scattering of ashes, many silk cremation urns are TSA airplane approved. If she is holding a memorial service for her departed friend, silk cremation urns and memory chests are both tasteful and exquisite.</p>
<p>Any small gift of kindness we can bestow to senior family members or friends during their time of grief is certain to be well-received.</p>

Many children are more likely to experience the passing of their faithful pet first. When the time comes for Fido to pass, it is important for everyone to get closure from the experience. It used to be that in these situations, burial was the method chosen for deceased pets. Times and thoughts have changed about how we deal with the loss of our family pets and cremation is becoming a popular way to handle this tragedy.<span id="more-1656"></span></p>
<p>Pet urns have been designed to be stylish and creative while providing a respectable final resting place. Urns can be proudly displayed on the mantle or in another suitable location so family members can be reminded of pleasant times. Our pets are an important part of the family. They are there every day to help comfort everyone and get us through times of stress and chaos. Additionally, pets are there during the good times as well. Every moment of our lives, they are there for better or worse until they are called by their maker.</p>
<p>It is only fitting that we honor our pets in a way befitting of all the good times that were shared together. There are some very beautiful dog urns that are respectable and will show honor to the family dog. Urns are available in all sizes to accommodate breeds of every kind. In addition to the urn, there are also memorial pendants or memory boxes. Each is designed with class and has a look of elegance that can be displayed with pride.</p>
<p>Everyone grieves in their own way. Though there are still those who do not understand the keeping of ashes and displaying the urn, it is about how you feel. Your own expression of your grief and method to keep a remembrance is your path to choose. Creating the perfect memorial is an excellent way for you to gain closure in a difficult and saddening situation.</p>

Creating a memorial box from dried and pressed flowers memorial is a wonderful way to honor and remember your pet. Memorial gardens are also a popular choice but the memorial boxes give us a way to keep the pressed plants as a reminder of those sunny days spend together. Choose a small or medium frame and place a picture of your pet and you inside. Select dried flower petals or leaves either real or artificial to place around the edge. If there is a special park or recreation area that you both loved to be in, take a picture of it and place it inside the frame also. <span id="more-1652"></span></p>
<p>Certain plants and flowers are symbolically used to refer to remembering and memories; rosemary and forget- me- not as well as yew trees for immortality. The selection itself does not matter as much formally, as what is important to you and your pet as a remembrances. The best part about making a memorial for your pet is that it is a physical reminder of the fun times and the joy you shared. Nice wooden photo frames are a good choice for memorial photos and so are slightly larger shadowboxes with small containers that you can place dried flowers or bits of stone into.</p>
<p>Healing from grief is a process that takes everyone a different amount of time and processing. Death is one thing that all living things, plant, human or animal share. Remembering the joys of the happy times is one of the many reasons to create a special memorial in honor of your pet. There is no one right or wrong way to make a remembrance memorial it can be as elaborate or simple as you wish. Sometimes these types of boxes are also used to keep memorabilia that loved ones or family members used and enjoyed. It depends on the person who is creating it as to what is inside, but the love and joy of memories should be kept nearby to honor the departed pet and friend.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1649" title="Large Paw Print Economy Cremation Urn" src="http://www.perfectmemorials.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/6080.000largepawprint_lrg_0.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" />There are a number of ways to honor and remember a pet who has shared a good many years with you. Creating a memorial from pictures and other memorabilia is one way or keeping the ashes of the deceased in a special urn or memory box is another. Grief is so subjective and everyone grieves in a different way and at different times. There is no one right way to grieve and anyone who scoffs at your grief obviously has not had the privilege of sharing their lives with a beloved pet. Pets, regardless of the breed or kind, are a way for us to love someone who may not be able to speak in human words but are there to share the joy and sorrow we have and honoring them is very reasonable.<span id="more-1648"></span></p>
<p>Some owners honor the deceased with a memorial garden area that featured the favorite plants or a special tree. This place can be as ornate or simple as you want to make it. Flowers and shrubs for remembering are often used. A small bench or other decoration is a good idea for those who spend time sitting and remembering the fun times that were spent together. There are people who choose to bury the cremated remains in a small garden area. It is often a good idea to check with local regulations as this may be prohibited for health reasons.</p>
<p>Dealing with grief allows for acceptance and gradually healing. Creating and remembering your pet by honoring them with a place in your garden area or a memory box kept inside your home is one of the ways to do so. Shadowboxes that hold items that remind you of special places you spent with your pet are also a good way honor them. If you have to wait awhile before making a memorial, that is alright but, it will help to deal with the loss of your pet. Pets are a great part of our lives and bring a wonderful joy with them; they should be honored and remembered.</p>
