Wood Pet Urn - Pet Cremation Urns

The traditional wood pet urn is probably the most familiar type of pet cremation urn and human cremation urn and the one most people visualise when thinking of cremation urns.

At one time the wooden pet urn was the only pet cremation urn available to pet owners but in the last decade or so the choice of urns for pet ashes has grown considerably with ceramic pet urns, glass pet urns, pet photo urns and many types of custom pet urns now available.






The wood pet urn still remains a firm favourite for many people though, with traditional wooden pet urns still being amongst the most popular and custom and handmade wooden pet urns now also available.

The traditional wooden pet urns below are made from solid hardwood and available in walnut, maple and oak. There is a leaded brass nameplate on the front of these urns that can be engraved with your pet's name and you simply remove the bottom of the pet urn and place your pet's ashes inside, the bottom is then secured with screws to safely protect your pet's ashes.

I've included this next pet cremation urn because it has the look of a piece carved from wood, but also because it's a really beautiful and unusual Angel style pet urn.

Standing 19 inches high it also has quite a large capacity for pet ashes, which can sometimes be hard to find in figurine style pet cremation urns.

As well as dog pet urns and cat pet urns, wooden urns are also now available for much larger animals and pets. The urn below is specially designed to hold the ashes of a beloved horse or pony for example. It comes with two photo holders and 2 engraved brass nameplates, is constructed from solid red oak and available in two sizes.

There are other personalisation options available such as horse figurines which can be added, and many owners like to carry out their own customisation by adding personal items such as shoes or tack items belonging to their lost friend.

There are now a wealth of pet cremation urns and wood pet urn available which not only provides us more choice as pet owners but also helps to highlight our need to grieve for our beloved pets. The greater the choice available the more we are able to choose urns for pet ashes that are in keeping with our own style and preferences but they also give us a unique way to commemorate our pets.

Whilst there are many styles and sizes available it is important to check that the urn you are intending to purchase is the correct size to hold your pet's ashes. Too big a pet urn is fine as it will hold your pet's ashes and may also offer the option of keeping more than one pet's ashes together, or adding precious items such as leads and collars to the urn, but too small and you may be disappointed. Most suppliers of pet urns provide clear instructions of how to measure if a pet urn is the correct size but it can still be confusing even if you know how to work this out.

All of the above featured urns include detailed and helpful information in the item descriptions of exactly which size pets they are suitable for, but if you are in any doubt just email the supplier you are thinking of purchasing from and ask, they are very used to these kinds of questions and will usually be only too willing to help ensure you buy the correct size product.
