Remembering your beloved pets

The UK is a nation of pet lovers. According to the Pet Food Manufacturers’ Association (PFMA), around 46% of UK households—approximately 13 million homes—owned a pet in 2014, with the total pet population estimated at around 65 million. These pets range from fish and small caged animals to dogs, cats, horses, and reptiles.

It is clear that British people cherish pets of all kinds. For many, a pet is not just an animal, but a beloved member of the family and a constant source of companionship. When a pet passes away, their loss can leave a deep void. It is for this reason that the pet funeral industry has grown significantly in the UK, offering caring and meaningful ways to say goodbye and honour a pet’s life.

Pet cremation has become an increasingly popular choice, as it allows owners to take their pet’s ashes home. This can bring great comfort and gives families the freedom to decide how best to commemorate their companion—whether by scattering the ashes, burying them, or displaying an urn in the home.

Pet cremation urns can be used for permanent storage or for transporting ashes prior to scattering or burial. They are available in a wide variety of styles, from simple and understated to beautifully decorative designs suitable for display. Choosing the right urn allows you to select something that truly reflects your pet’s personality and the special bond you shared.

At Urns With Love, we offer a thoughtfully chosen range of pet cremation urns, available in sizes from approximately six inches down to three inches. Smaller urns are ideal for pets of a smaller size or for holding a token amount of ashes. This makes them a meaningful option if you plan to scatter or bury the ashes while keeping a small memento close, or if several family members wish to share a keepsake.
