Urns For Dog Remains

[Mike Goetzke]

Two of our dogs passed away a few years ago and my wife wants me to turn urns. Are there any suggested designs to share? - thanks

I suggest a shadow box for their collars.

Made one for my daughters two dogs, water bowl style and carved a dog bone with names on each side for the top out of cherry.

I can’t offer too much specific information, other than my condolences. I’d suggest a pair of matching urns (think of lidded boxes with permanently sealed lids. The best pet urns I’ve seen are ones that have designs based on pets’ characteristics. @Dave Roberts made a special one shaped like his dog’s favorite ball (if I’m remembering that correctly).

Thank you Michael, yes that is correct we lost our Golden retriever at age 5 and he was obsessed to retrieve his orange ball and to swim in the ocean weekly. His keepsake urn was a turned ball that was threaded so would stay secured and it was mounted by drilling a mortise into a rock from the beach where he swam. The wood was dyed to resemble his orange ball and the threads were as low in the ball as possibly so they were not noticeable. I think I made 5 before we were happy enough with the end result.
