Pet Cremation Pendant
Cremation Pendants for Pet AshesPets offer a piece of nature that we can hold and, in our own way, protect. While many may argue that capturing an animal, in any sense, is unethical, many pet owners will readily disagree, especially those who own larger pets, such as cats and dogs. Our pets not only bring a great sense of comfort and joy into our homes and lives, they also bring a wonderful touch of nature to our settings, incorporating it in a way that we can really interact with. In fact, many will agree that there is no greater accent to the home than a colorful bird or reptile. While this is so, it does not imply that having these pets is an easy job. In fact, pets that are confined to a cage are often more demanding, as far as time and attention, than those that can roam freely about the house. While that is true, those that are willing to devote their spare time and efforts to these pets are greatly rewarded, as exotic pets can certainly create heartwarming companions that are nothing short of remarkable. The fact that our pets teach us a lot about nature, and in turn ourselves, is what, perhaps, makes pet cremation pendants all the more appropriate to honor their memory when they must, unfortunately, leave our world. These beautiful pendants are made of beautiful hardwoods and feature an elegant, lacquered finish. They are further accented with a simple or decorative silver bail, which unscrews from the piece, to revel an open chamber within. This is what makes these wonderful pieces all the more heartwarming, as the chamber can be filled with a small remembrance of the pet, which turns the jewelry into an unforgettable tribute. Many individuals place cremation ashes within the pendants, but it is not uncommon to hear that they are filled with other similarly small memorabilia, such as a small lock of fur, crushed flower petals, or even earth from the gravesite of the pet, for those who did not have the pet cremated or interred the ashes. Alternatively, some take earth from a special place shared with the pet, such as the beach or a park, and create a tribute that celebrates the happy memories they left us. The combination of the natural materials with the elegant silver touches helps commemorate how our pets brought a little, yet much appreciated, natural essence into our lives. Richard H. Pitcaim, a veterinarian that has been a pioneer in the science of studying animal health, once said, "Living with animals can be a wonderful experience, especially if we choose to learn the valuable lessons animals teach through their natural enthusiasm, grace, resourcefulness, affection, and forgiveness". This quote rings very true, and we often fail to realize how much we gain from sharing our homes with these beautiful creatures. This is all the more reason to honor the memory of a beloved pet, and a pet cremation pendant can certainly help create a nature-inspired tribute that will allow us to hold the fallen companion close to the heart, at all times. |
