There will be no words, no song or any eulogy that can capture the essence of a beloved pet that had been so steadfast and loyal to me for more than 12 years. Now there will not be any need to fill a water bowl or prepare a dinner or taking evening walks together. There’s no more baths, no coat to untangle or cut … I miss you Missy!

Missy was my 12 years old Cocker Spaniel who had shared my bed even since she came into my life on my 12th birthday. She had been there at my happiest moments and she kept me afloat at the saddest downtrodden period of my life. I don’t think anybody can feel the same grief and the pain of the loss that I’m feeling.

As her lifeless body lay on the examining table, the vet enquired what to do with her remains. It shocked me to tears. It had never crossed my mind that I’d have to decide on what to do with her remains one day. The vet gave me a bunch of suggestions from pet cemetery to cremation and scattering her ashes at sea. What the heck! Missy’s no lover of the sea. How I’d wronged her to scatter her ashes at sea. No way as I shook my head incessantly.

She has been a big part of my growing up and she’s just as special as any of my family members. I wanted her to remain close to home. I jumped at the idea of pet urns. I am so grateful to whoever that came up with this wonderful idea. Pet urns are the best solution for anyone wanting to keep the loving memories and the presence of their beloved pet at home, just like I do. The funeral home had quite a range of urns but opted to find my own urn. It was like heaven sent when I found a beautiful antique vase that carried a cocker spaniel motif.

Now the antique vase has been turned into one of those pet urns and I am very sure Missy is happily residing inside, smiling at me from above the fireplace where I had placed her.

Cremation jewelry partially derives its beauty from the work of skilled jewelers who visualized the exclusive designs. They also displayed the dexterity of their hands by crafting every pendant themselves. This is just the tip of the ice-berg. Cremation jewelry also depicts the quality of materials like sparkling gemstones, glistening materials and warm woods that constitute every piece.

Polyester resin, hand-blown glass, manufactured stone urn pendants and glass are a few synthetic materials utilized for making attractive, premium quality ash pendants. Moreover, such pendants are reasonably priced. Irrespective of that the materials are manufactured; every piece of jewelry is crafted manually. This offers uniqueness to every ornament.

Wood is one natural material which is frequently utilized for making cremation jewelry. Natural wood is warm, economical and elegant. Highly polished and hand-turned wood gives rise to shimmering cremation jewelry that attracts the attention of both men and women. Household woods like oak, maple and walnut can be used for making cremation jewelry. On the other hand, exotic woods like Kauri wood derived from sustainable forests are also used in cremation jewelry. Since wood is completely natural, only the natural element is sufficient for making every wood cremation memento an exclusive piece.

Strength and durability are the characteristic of metal jewelry ranging from inexpensive metals like titanium, stainless steel and pewter to costly metals like silver and gold. Even the affordable metals are as strong and curable as their costly substitutes. Particularly, titanium is suitable for people who are sensitive or allergic to other metals. As compared to its expensive counterparts, titanium memorial jewelry is also corrosion-resistant.

Silver and gold are regarded as precious metals because of their rareness. In addition, their cost is also more as compared to other metals. Metals like gold, gold vermillion and silver have a considerable degree of luster and innate beauty. Moreover, they are soft as compared to titanium, pewter and silver. Hence, they cannot be worn in harsh environment.

The elegance and spark of cremation jewelry can be enhanced by engraving manufactured or natural gem stones. Semi-precious and precious stones (like diamonds, amethyst and pearls) are generally found in cremation jewelry. However, our naked eyes can rarely distinguish between such stones and their man-made alternatives like cubic zirconia that offer a cost-effective substitute.
