When ordering your Precious Pet
Memorial, you will need to determine:
1. Urn or Marker?
Do
you have your pet cremated and/or do you want a natural stone memorial that has an urn underneath the stone to hold ashes
or special items of your pet. If so, you will want to choose one of our natural stone urns. They come in three sizes. Smalls are drilled
to hold ashes up to a 30lb pet. Mediums hold up to 55lb pet, and larges up to 85 lb pet. Note- your pet may
have slightly more or less ashes than their weight may dictate depending on the health of your pet when they passed. If you are wanting a non-drilled natural stone memorial that does not have
an urn underneath to hold ashes, but simply to be grave markers, headstones, or remembrance for that special area
in your garden, you will want to choose one of our natural stone markers.
Both our natural stone urns and markers come with a personalized plaque
with your special message and inset into the stone.
2.
What size do you want to order?
You may choose from 3 sizes. When choosing an urn, you will want to make sure that you choose
the right size according to the weight of your pet if you want to hold all the ashes. If you want to have a particular
size of stone and the urn size does not matter, for example, you pet weighed 70 lbs but you would prefer a smaller stone size,
that is fine too! For the markers, the size that decide on is determined by how big of stone you would like.
Summary of the three sizes:
Small stone: 8"-12"(stone weighs approx. 25+
lbs)- If drilled as Urn- will hold ashes for pets up to 30 lbs.
Medium Stone: 12"-15" (Stone weighs approx. 45+ lbs)-If drilled as Urn-will hold ashes for pets up
to 55 lbs.
Large: 15"-
20" (Stone weighs approx. 65+ lbs)- If drilled as Urn- will hold ashes for pets up to 85
lbs.
Weight of stone and other special considerations when ordering
size:
When ordering Small, Medium and Large stones, depending
on the type of granite, they will vary in weight. Smalls could be 25+ lbs, Mediums could be 45+lbs., and larges could
be 65+ lbs. These are just estimates-even small stones out of certain granites may be quite heavy.
You may need help of a dolly or second person when placing your st*one. .
**You can order the small size pet memorial for larger pets, you just may not be able to fit all the ashes in the
drilled container. Idea: Spread part of the ashes some place that your precious pet enjoyed!
***You may also order large stones for smaller pets if you prefer to have a larger stone
in the garden. Idea: If you have extra room in the urn, add a special toy or remembrance!
