In today’s world of complex human interactions, many people have come to develop deep emotional ties to their beloved pets who, often, exhibit the kind of unconditional love that most everyone craves. So, when a pet dies, great heartbreak can often be the result, but, our modern society being what it is, the pet owner often feels obligated to bear his or her pain privately. While experts in psychology and other related fields say it is quite normal and healthy to grieve mightily for the loss of a pet, it is also normal, from a sociological perspective, to feel self conscious about that grief. Fortunately, to help resolve this difficult discrepancy, there are many options available today for keeping pet memorials discreet.
Cremation urns intended for pets are often perfect for keeping pet memorials discreet because many are designed with the look of just about any other indoor decorative ornament. It is often the case that, unless an owner wishes to personalize a pet cremation urn with a name plaque or some other feature t hat specifically identifies it as an urn and memorial tribute to a pet, a pet cremation urn can rest discreetly in a residence -- even displayed prominently and admired routinely by visitors -- without anyone besides the pet owner realizing it’s true function. A common line of wood pet cremation urns, for example, resemble the type of beautifully crafted hard-wood sculptures that many people choose to enhance the interior designs of their home. These majestically design pieces crafted from natural hard wood are sure to draw attention and compliments from anyone who happens upon them. But, especially at first glance, they do not resemble an urn in the least. In fact, in many cases it is not apparent that the pieces have a hollow opening in which pets remains could be stored. An owner who is not necessarily interested in keeping pet memorials discreet could easily set a wooden memorial plaque in front of these pieces as a stylish tribute to a beloved pet. Or he or she could, in most cases, attach a metal plaque to the front of the piece. But, regardless of the pet owner’s choices, these urns will retain their beautifully crafted design and are a great choice for those who would be most comfortable keeping their pet memorials discreet.
An even more intriguing form of pet memorial is pet cremation jewelry. These luxuriously designed pieces, usually made from sterling silver or even gold, are crafted with the look of any other fine jewelry. Yet they contain small crevices in which a teaspoon or so of a beloved pet’s cremation ashes can be stored. Pet owners interested in keeping their pet memorials discreet can wear cremation jewelry underneath their clothes in many cases, but even if the piece is too large to be worn like that, the pieces themselves -- like many of the pet cremation urns mentioned above -- usually offer no hint of their real purpose to those who will likely admire them. A typical line of pet cremation jewelry offers pet owners a selection of dozens of pieces ranging from a quarter inch to a full inch in length. Each of the pieces is a beautiful gold and/or sterling silver design -- usually of something recognizable such as a hummingbird, or a fish, or a dog house -- that is hollowed so that a tiny bit of cremation ashes can be inserted. The smaller of these pieces can be worn as a pendant discreetly underneath a blouse or a shirt, but the larger ones would likely not be suitable for this purpose. But, even if worn outside the clothes, the typical viewer of one of these pendants would likely express a great deal of surprise if the owner told him or her that it contains a portion of a beloved pet’s remains. So, if a pet owner desires to keep his pet memorial discreet, he or she most certainly can -- even when wearing the pendant in public.
