At Yatskia Urns, we believe that remembrance should be personal, comforting, and deeply meaningful. The urn you choose is more than a vessel—it’s a reflection of love, a symbol of legacy, and a storyteller in its own right. Whether you’re honoring a beloved person or a cherished pet, here’s how the right urn can carry their memory forward.
A Keepsake of Loyalty and Love
They say dogs are our most loyal companions—and anyone who has loved one knows it’s true. When we lost our Labrador, Max, it felt like losing a piece of home. His calm presence made life softer, steadier.
To honor him, we chose a pet ashes keepsake—a small urn that now sits beside his collar and favorite toy. It’s simple but powerful. Many pet owners find comfort in having a keepsake close by—a gentle reminder of unconditional love that lives on.
The Spirit That Soars
My sister always believed butterflies were more than insects—they were symbols of the soul, reminders that we are never truly alone. After she passed, I knew a butterfly urn was the right tribute.
Delicate, elegant, and full of symbolism, butterfly urns capture the idea of transformation and eternal presence. If your loved one had a light, uplifting spirit—or simply loved nature—a butterfly urn is a beautiful way to celebrate their memory.
Honoring a Life with Grace
Some people leave behind more than memories—they leave behind a legacy. My grandfather was one of them. A man of quiet strength, deep wisdom, and steady kindness.
When we searched through urns for human ashes, we found one that reflected his character: simple, elegant, and timeless. Choosing the right urn helped us focus on how he lived—not just how we lost him. It became a way to keep his presence alive in the heart of our home.
Farewell to a Feline Friend
If you’ve ever shared your life with a cat, you know how deeply they imprint themselves into your space—and your soul. My cat, Shadow, was with me through every high and low. When she passed, I wanted something that felt as special as she was.
The cat urn I chose now rests on a shelf near the window where she loved to nap. These urns often come in peaceful, graceful shapes—some even curled into sleeping positions. For anyone who’s lost a feline companion, they’re a perfect way to remember that quiet, loving bond.
Choosing with Intention
When you're grieving, the idea of choosing an urn can feel overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be. Instead of thinking of it as a task, try to see it as part of the tribute.
Here are a few things that helped me:
Think about their personality. Were they bold? Simple? Spiritual? Let that guide your choice.
Consider where the urn will go. Will it be displayed at home, placed in a garden, or buried?
Allow yourself to feel. There’s no wrong choice—just what feels right to you.
If you're unsure where to begin, Yatskia's collection of cremation urns for ashes offers a wide range of options for every life and story. Each urn is crafted with thoughtfulness and care, meant to honor love in all its forms.
Because Love Lives On
Grief doesn’t follow a script. But love always finds ways to show up—through memories, stories, and the quiet rituals we create. Choosing an urn isn’t about letting go. It’s about creating space to hold on—to remember, to honor, and to love in new ways.
At Yatskia Urns, we’re honored to be part of that journey with you. Whatever story you’re carrying, we hope you find an urn that helps tell it—beautifully and with heart.
