Dog Urns

Dogs are the very definition of loyalty, filling our lives with wagging tails, cold noses, and a love that asks for nothing in return. They are our protectors, our hiking partners, and our most faithful shadows. When a "good boy" or "good girl" crosses the rainbow bridge, finding a resting place that reflects their vibrant spirit is a final act of devotion. Our hand-painted ceramic dog memorial urns are created to honor that unbreakable bond.

While each heart-shaped urn is a unique work of art, our Floral and Nature designs are particularly beloved by dog owners. From the bright sunflowers that mirror a golden retriever’s joy to the delicate forget-me-nots that promise eternal remembrance, these botanical tributes bring a sense of peace and natural beauty to your home’s memory corner.

Every piece is handcrafted by Diana in her Poltava studio, fired at 1200°C to ensure your memories are protected forever. Personalize your dog’s tribute: We can hand-engrave a name, dates, or a special message on the base of any urn. Whether you are seeking a small keepsake or a standard size for a larger companion, our collection offers a warm, artistic sanctuary for your best friend. Handmade in Ukraine, shipping with care to the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia.

FAQ

What to do with cat ashes?

Once you receive the ashes from the crematorium (usually in a plastic bag), you can carefully place them inside our ceramic urn. For permanent closure, we recommend applying a few drops of clear silicone or strong adhesive to the rim of the lid before closing it.

Can I order a custom cat urn with specific ears or a tail?

Yes, I specialize in creating one-of-a-kind tributes. I can sculpt custom details such as your cat's specific ear shape or tail to reflect their unique personality. Since these are bespoke sculptural additions, please contact me at diana.kostiukova.main@gmail.com before placing your order to discuss your vision.

What size urn do I need for my cat?

Most domestic cats (weighing up to 15-18 lbs) fit perfectly in our 18-45 cubic inch urns. For very small kittens or if you are keeping only a token portion of the ashes, our 5 cubic inch mini urns are the ideal choice.

How can I display my cat urn?

Our cat urns are designed as "artistic memorials." They look beautiful on a mantel, a bookshelf, or a bedside table. Because they feature hand-painted botanical themes, they blend seamlessly with home decor, serving as a discreet and elegant tribute to your companion.

Can your cat urns be personalized with names?

Yes, I can hand-engrave your cat's name, dates, or a short heartfelt message on the base of the urn. This adds a personal touch to the memorial, making it a truly unique sanctuary for your pet.

What do cat ashes look like?

Cremated remains (cremains) typically have a coarse, sand-like texture and range in color from light grey to off-white. This is completely natural, and our stoneware urns provide a secure, dignified, and everlasting home for them.

FAQ

What is a "Sharing Urn" in human memorials?

A sharing urn is a vessel used when a family decides to divide a loved one's ashes among several relatives. Our 18-45 cu in urns allow you to keep a significant and substantial portion of remains, ensuring that everyone has a sacred place for memory in their own home.

How much ash do sharing urns hold?

These urns have a capacity of 18 to 45 cubic inches. In practical terms, this fits about 1.5 to 3 standard cups of ashes. It is much larger than a tiny keepsake, making it a meaningful choice for those who want to hold more than just a token amount.

Does it look like a traditional funeral urn?

No, and that is why many families choose Mira Ceramics. Our heart-shaped and botanical designs are created as pieces of fine art. They are discreet, elegant, and designed to blend into your home decor as a beautiful sculpture that holds a private, precious secret.

How do I personalize the memorial?

I can hand-engrave a name, significant dates, or a short heartfelt message (up to 3-5 words) on the base of the urn or the stand. This personalization is done before the final firing to ensure it remains part of the ceramic forever.
