Memorial Urns?

My dog, Ollie, died yesterday. They are cremating him and wanted to know if I wanted to buy a memorial urn or picture frame or something like that. I wanted to know what everyone's take on memorial things to keep ashes in. I am thinking about getting a picture frame so that I can have his picture on the front of it to remind me of my baby and store his ashes until later when I can spread them. I want to spread his ashes in the woods that he loved to hike in even though we didn't get to go very often.

Sorry, I know that this is a little short and not like my usual posts but I am not my usual self right now.

I'm really sorry about your dog; you must be so sad right now. Spreading Ollie's ashes in a place that he loved sounds like a lovely way of honoring his memory.

I have the ashes of two of my RB cats. They are in wooden boxes that actually have a frame for a small photo attached. Eventually, I will probably bury them, but I haven't decided on the right place, so for now they are in the house with us.

I'm so sorry about Ollie. I know that you're in a lot of pain right now. What a beautiful gesture to take his ashes to his special place.

We have the ashes of all our kids. Some of them (our Alaskan Malemute and our little kitten) are buried outside in the flower garden at the front of the house. The rest of our RB babies are in the living room on top of the entertainment center. When I'm gone, I would like to their ashes to be combined with mine and, perhaps, scattered over my favorite flowerbed in the back yard, if that's possible.

We did get a beautiful urn for Banshee's ashes because she was the love of my life.

I know that some prefer not to take their RB baby's ashes home. We both feel that, in our case, it's the right thing to do. Our home is all they've ever known.

Sending you some (((hugs))) for your loss of your little boy.

I just sent you PM. I am so sorry to hear about Ollie crossing the Bridge.

I think a memorial urn is a wonderful idea. I had one made for Abigail. It is so beautifully made that I have it in my living room. Cheers' Pottery actually made the urn and I couldn't be happier with the result-
