Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What size urn should I get for my dog?

There is a general rule when calculating the size of urn you will need for your pet. Usually you will require one cubic inch of space for every pound your pet weighs. For example, if your pet weighed 50 pounds, you would need an urn that is 50 cubic inches or larger to hold all of the ashes.

2. Where do you put a dog urn in the house?

Ideally, you want to place the urn in a location with high positive energy. Generally, that means in a home that faces east, northeast, southeast or southwest, the urn should be placed in a room in the northeast or northwest area of the home.

3. What size urn do I need for a 20 lb dog?

A more precise equation goes as follows: for each pound your pet weighed, you will need one cubic inch of space. Then, you should add an additional ten cubic inches to that number. So if your dog weighed 20 pounds, you would need an urn with 30 cubic inches of room for ashes.

4. What do pet cremation ashes look like?

What Do Pet Ashes Look Like? The end result of cremation, cremains, tend to be a dust-like texture. Post cremation, once ashes have cooled, additional steps are taken to break up the bone & ash into finer texture. The cremains you receive will likely have a white or gray color with a very-fine gravel texture.
