IansMom Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hi all, i haven’t posted in a really long time, nor have I even looked at the forum much in the past 3 years ever since Ian passed away. I just haven’t been able to do it. The joy these dogs bring us is immeasurable, but so is the heartbreak. Sadly, we anticipate that we will soon have to say goodbye to our 12 year old beautiful girl, Bella. Osteo is suspected. We aren’t going to do a biopsy, but will repeat xrays in 2 more weeks. We have already had 2 sets that we have been following. I am just wondering if anyone has had experience with personalized urns or memory boxes that have pictures on them and if there are any that you might recommend. Thank you all, Lisa Quote Lisa & Chris with Bella and Little Petey ~Our sweet Ian forever in our hearts~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleptogrey Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 i gave the crematory one of my favorite cookie tins that i've kept around for 30+ years. it was not that large- maybe 6x3x4", annie fit in perfectly. they placed her ashes in a heavy duty plastic bag and then into the tin. something very personal to you might work as it did for me. felix came w/ an sealed ginger jar shape urn and foot print, only in texas for $135. we didn't have too much of a choice w/ felix since we weren't home. i do have slightly off the beaten path taste, but i'm sure you can find something that you will like https://www.ebay.com/i/254276136730?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=254276136730&targetid=474173451549&device=c&adtype=pla&googleloc=9004251&poi=&campaignid=1669934834&adgroupid=65058350339&rlsatarget=pla-474173451549&abcId=1139296&merchantid=6296724&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgezoBRDNARIsAGzEfe4DarXZsnD08fTyddJ_OgLMNy_yy9r1VbdjtqhoeEa9vs2igZm6NkMaAjDrEALw_wcB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) I have the most amazing Urn that is supposed to hold 440 pounds.. Myself and all the dogs past are going it together. Last time I had a dog cremated it was $100 and $1 a pound. Edited July 2, 2019 by Hubcitypam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoduck Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Memorials.com has a large selection. The one I needed to order with a greyhound on it was out of stock with each merchant I tried. My vets have always provided a box or urn in the cost of cremation. Overall that was a much better price than buying just an urn or box elsewhere. I'd suggest asking your vet what products are offered, and if they would provide the name of the company they order from so you could find one more personal for you.

cleptogrey Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 yup, that's how felix got away with a nice looking urn and reasonable price. annie was brought up to the humane society who has the only low cost crematory on this side of the hudson river. the westchester county vets charge $350-500, the Hartsdale dog cemetery charges $450. And that is only cremation, not an urn, not euthanasia. I too did research just prior to Felix's demise, I was also out of state which happened to be to our benefit. It's always difficult. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) think I bought mine from Perfect Memorials. My second greyhound Harley was $25 via the city. Edited July 3, 2019 by Hubcitypam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 There are loads of places to purchase crematory urns from, but our last one we got from Amazon for a good price. They have - like most Amazon stock - a huge assortment to choose from. We also use perfectmemorials.com Quote Chris - Mom to: Felicity (DeLand), and Andi (Braska Pandora) siggy by Chris Harper, on Flickr Angels: Libby (Everlast), Dorie (Dog Gone Holly), Dude (TNJ VooDoo), Copper (Kid's Copper), Cash (GSI Payncash), Toni (LPH Cry Baby), Whiskey (KT's Phys Ed), Atom, Lilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum1 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I got this one for Taylor, no engraving, and I had a small brass plaque made with his name on it, and glued it to the front. https://www.mainelyurns.com/medium-carved-sheesham-wood-cremation-urn.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
