Pet ashes urns, keepsakes and jewellery?

[TimeToCloseTheDoor]

I’d really appreciate some opinions in regards to the above please.
I have the opportunity to purchase some sterling silver charms and pendants that customers can store a small amount of ashes in. Also some small pet urns and some memorial pebbles.

do you think this would be of interest, do people cremate their pets?

I can also purchase some biodegradable urns with seeds and some rabbit/tiny furry pet caskets for burial. I’ll happily be able to market online/social media I just don’t know how to check the market and where to look at advertising.

Its not my sort of thing at all.

I do see on the internet options of keepsake jewellery.

Yes dog are cremated.

I think these things are highly personal and it really depends on the individual person and how they grieve.

Personally, I considered a piece of jewellery while I was grieving deeply for the dog we lost recently, but then I realised I actually wasn’t comfortable with it at all and now (7 months later) I can’t imagine why I even considered it. Grief has a strange effect on your thought processes I suppose.

I still have his ashes (only because we can’t travel to the place we would want to scatter them) but there’s absolutely no way I could open it, decant some and then either have them incorporated into an ornament or placed in jewellery to wear.

I do know a few people who have done it, but in each case they have had very high end, expensive jewellery made, incorporating the ashes into the actual structure, rather than decanting some ashes into some sort of receptacle to wear. I wouldn’t be comfortable with that either.

As for urns and caskets. We have always been offered a choice by the crematorium. I wouldn’t think to look elsewhere, mainly as I wouldn’t want to have to deal with moving their ashes from one container to another. If I bought an urn from the crematorium they would come home in that one, so I wouldn’t have to deal with it at a time when I was already grieving.

I completely agree with moosemama
Personally I’ve only had two of my dogs cremated. The rest are buried in the garden, we have a small orchard at the far end & they’re buried there.
My most recently lost little one, I do have the ashes. They came back to me in a very pretty little box from the crematorium via the vet & I too couldn’t dream of opening the box to decant any of the ashes or move them to another container. The little box is in the sitting room with a small framed photo of him next to it.

I have my cats ashes, again because I rent and so couldn't bear the thought of leaving her behind and this way she goes with me. I thought about a keyring but actually have a lovely engraved box in my bedroom amd a photoboard next to it is comfort enough

Aww thank you for the replies. I do understand how personal it is and I very much take on board not wanting to decant which is something I hadn’t really thought about properly.

Which makes me think vets and crems need to be my first avenue , thank you and I’m sorry for your losses which I know are truly heartbreaking

I do wonder if I could market them for people to purchase before the time comes so they can take it to the vets with them - I do know that reads really morbid and I’m sorry although it is the market area I’m trying to break into.
