Quick answer
The Memorial Market lists pet memorials from independent makers: pendants and rings set with a pet’s ashes, beaded name keychains, felted fur keepsakes, memorial photography and more, plus small keepsake urns that suit a cat, a small dog or a portion of ashes. Items made for pets are shown first; the small urns below them are general keepsake urns, not pet-only products.

Losing a pet is losing a member of the household, and a memorial helps. The pieces in the first grid are written for pets by their makers, and most are made to order with a small amount of ashes or fur you send in.
If you would rather keep the ashes in a vessel, the small keepsake urns underneath hold a modest amount and look at home on a shelf.
Pet memorials made for pets
Listings their makers describe as pet memorials, from the live catalog.
Small keepsake urns (general, not pet-only)
These are small keepsake urns from the general catalog. Their makers note they can hold a pet’s ashes or a portion of a person’s, but they are not pet-specific products.
Ashes, fur or a photo
Some pieces use a pinch of ashes sealed in glass or resin. Others use a little fur, or a photograph. Read each listing for what to send; most makers explain how to package it.
Sending ashes to a maker
If a piece is made with your pet’s ashes, you will mail a small amount to the maker. USPS rules apply to animal ashes too: domestic shipments go by Priority Mail Express in the USPS Cremated Remains box, including ashes headed to an artisan for jewelry or art.
Choosing between an urn and a keepsake
A small urn keeps the ashes together in one place. Jewelry and keepsakes let you carry part of them or share with family. Many households do both: a keepsake urn at home and a pendant to wear.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have urns made just for pets?
The pet-specific items here are mostly jewelry, keepsakes and art. For a vessel, the small keepsake urns listed below the pet items work well for a cat, a small dog or part of a larger pet’s ashes; they are general keepsake urns, not pet-only products.
How do I send my pet’s ashes to a jewelry maker?
Use USPS Priority Mail Express with the Postal Service’s Cremated Remains box. The rule covers human and animal ashes, including ashes sent to an artist.

Can I wear jewelry made with my pet’s ashes every day?
Most makers say yes, but care varies by material. Ask the maker about water, cleaning and how the ashes are sealed before you order.
Can a memorial include fur instead of ashes?
Yes. Some keepsakes, like the felted fur keepsake, are made from fur rather than ashes. Check each listing for what to send.
