Frequently asked questions
-
Most custom pet urns are completed within 4-6 weeks from design approval. This includes time for handcrafting, carving, finishing, and curing. Rush orders may be available for an additional fee if you need your memorial urn sooner. After completion, shipping takes 3-5 business days via our secure carrier with tracking included.
-
All three of our pet urn styles hold 220 cubic inches, which accommodates pets up to 220 lbs. This works for nearly all cats, dogs, and household pets. The general rule is 1 cubic inch of capacity per pound of healthy body weight. If you have a pet over 220 lbs or need a smaller urn, contact us for custom sizing options.
-
We can work with most photographs, though clear, well-lit photos with good facial detail produce the best portrait carvings. Side profiles and three-quarter angles often carve beautifully. We'll work with you to select the ideal image during design consultation.
-
All our wooden pet urns feature secure lids (threaded for traditional urns, fitted for cedar boxes). The opening is large enough to easily transfer ashes from the temporary container provided by your veterinarian or pet crematorium. Some pet parents prefer to have their vet handle this step during pickup.
-

We had our dog Charlie for 16 years before he passed on. He was such a big part of our family we felt that we needed to do something special for him. The boys did a great job making a beautiful urn. The craftmanship was exceptional. The team was great to work with, they showed us what was possible and sent pictures along the way so we could make changes. Big thank you to Nathan and Eric! Good to work with a family business!
