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.
