Custom Pet Memorial Urn — Wooden Keepsake

Description

A wooden memorial urn, engraved with your pet’s name and set with a photograph of your choosing. Wood has a warmth that ceramic and metal cannot quite match, and it takes engraving beautifully — which is why this is the piece most people choose when they want the urn itself to carry the tribute, not just hold it.

What’s included

• One hand-finished wooden urn
• Custom engraving — your pet’s name, dates, or a short line of your choosing
• A photograph set into the face of the urn
• Protective packaging designed for transit

Send the right photograph

The photo you choose is printed and set into the urn, so it is worth taking a moment over it. A clear, front-on image at eye level reproduces best; very dark or heavily filtered pictures lose detail in print. If you would rather not use a photograph, we can prepare the engraving alone — just tell us when you order.

Engraving

Most people have the pet’s name and the years they were with the family. Some add a short line — a nickname, a phrase they used every day, a few words that only make sense to the household. Engraving is permanent, so we confirm your wording with you before it is cut.

Production and shipping

Made to order: allow 2–4 weeks for production, plus 7–15 days for delivery within the United States. Orders over $99 ship free.

Care

Keep the urn out of direct sunlight and away from damp rooms, radiators and windowsills — wood moves with changes in humidity, and stable conditions keep it true. Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, polish or solvent on the engraving or the photograph.

Common questions

Is this suitable for outdoor display?

We would not recommend it. Wood and paper-set photographs are best kept indoors, away from direct sun and moisture. If the urn is going to sit somewhere damp, a ceramic urn is the safer choice.

How does this compare to the ceramic urn?

Wood is warmer and takes deeper engraving; ceramic is more traditional and holds its colour indefinitely. Our guide to choosing a pet memorial urn compares materials and sizes, and you can see the ceramic version here.

What should I do with the rest of the ashes?

Many families keep a portion in the urn and use the rest for a keepsake, a garden, or a scattering place. Our guide to what to do with your pet’s ashes covers each option.
