After losing a pet, it’d come off as a naturally understood fact that you want to hold on to its memories. What’s the best and the most unique way of doing it? If you must know, go for a marble pet urn, its truly going to reflect upon your serious attachment with that long lost friend of yours.
The biggest distinctive property of marble pet urn (which we’ll come to later) is that it will always have a unique design. No two marble pieces are the same, and that’s the main reason for millions of people to buy marble pet urns. They want to feel a different and uncommon bond with the deceased animal, so they go for marble because of its elemental properties.
Besides, there are many ways in which pets are our best friends. Unlike humane relationships, an animal will never turn his back on you, no matter what sort of person you are. Your dog or cat will accept you as a caring master and it’ll always return more than what you’ve showered him with. So, it is morally your duty to honor its memories, loss and grief through a special medium. Marble, in this situation, as an urn, can be an excellent medium of expression for you.
All the more, marble has a cool vibe to it; the stuff literally jazzes up your room décor. People go for marble because it can be sculptured into various intrinsic forms, while at the same time; the insides can keep the ashes or remains of your pet safely tucked. By the way, you don’t really have to cremate your pet, in order to keep the remnants with you.
Some people just cut off a patch of fur, with the help of scissors, which is more of a neat and clean job. Later on, they just keep the fur tucked inside the marble pet urn, and that’s about it. There are no hassles of saving the ashes, and certainly no fear of dropping those soot like particles all over the carpet, if in case the container tips over accidentally.
Different Marble Pet Urns to Choose From:
Marble is openly available in all forms and colors. You can either go for a black vase sort of look, if you’re into dark mystic designs. The pet urn can come in a semi polished form, if you want it to, in order to drop a glowing effect, with a walnut base attached to its lower portion. On top of that, the owner can also get a squeaky clean brass plate with the engraving of his choice, in order to further beautify the entire experience.
However, do keep in mind that the price factor will go up a few notches, with respect to the attention to details. The entire carving, polishing, engraving and walnut base materials, when combined, will cost you well over $100. But then again, if you’re looking to seek an elegant and serene resting place for your beloved animal, there’s nothing like a portable stone tomb.
By the way, if you don’t have the financial resources to go for the real thing, you can purchase a synthetic marble pet urn. The easiest way of doing that is to buy an ordinary plastic urn and then purchase one of those granite stone kits. The DIY textured kit will probably cost you $20 or slightly more, and it’s definitely worth it.
Just follow the steps and dab the plastic pet urn with the marble ink. Within a few minutes, you’ll have a realistic looking marble pet urn, which will look as real as the stone itself.
Speaking of synthetic material, there are some vendors who sell cultured marble pet urns. The cultured marble is a combination of polyester resin, coat gel and pigmented elements that are melted and poured into specially shaped containers. After they cool down, the urns are polished and washed in order to give them a marble stone sort of look. In the end, you get something that is durable, unbreakable and something that has a long shelf life as compared to the real marble.
Taking Care of Your Marble Pet Urn:
While cleaning your marble pet urn, don’t use detergent with strong chemical properties. There are acids that literally leave a stain, or eat through the marble’s outer surface, while giving it an ugly look. Just use a soft piece of cloth and mild soapy water, in order to keep the surface clean and sparkly for a long time to come.
