Compare pet urns: choosing a place for their ashes
There is no single way to remember a much-loved companion. You may want to keep their ashes close, scatter some, or make a place for remembrance in the garden. The best choice is the one that feels right for you.
Keep, scatter or remember in the garden?
- Keep: An urn can be a place to keep ashes at home. Choose a design you would like to live with, and check its capacity and opening before ordering.
- Scatter: You might wish to scatter some ashes and keep some. Check how much you plan to keep and whether your chosen urn has the space you need. Check permission and local guidance for your chosen place before scattering.
- Garden: A garden can be a place to remember your pet, whether or not you keep their ashes there. If you intend to place an urn outdoors, ask us whether that particular design and finish are suitable for your chosen position before ordering.

Check the space inside
