Adding a figurine to a pet urn combines the celebration of your pets life while easing the loss. There are a few things you should consider when choosing a figurine for your pets urn. The perfect figurine will be one that reflects the personality and invokes fond memories of your beloved pet.

First you should consider the material used to make the figurine. Most figurines come in either stone, ceramic, metal or wood. If you plan to put your urn outdoors you want the figurine to be made of a material that will withstand the elements. Stone or ceramic would be the best because rain, wind and temperature won't affect them as badly. However, you want to make sure that any paint on the figurine is weatherproof so that it will be long lasting. There are some wood figurines that can be weather treated, but my require more care over the years to make sure that the elements don't wear them down. Metal figurines should not be put outdoors because they will tarnish and rust in rain and snow. If you are placing your urn indoors any of the materials would be suitable and your choice will depend on your personal preference.

Secondly you should consider the size of the figurine. If you will be placing the urn on a mantle or shelf you want to choose a smaller figurine and make sure that it will fit. Some are larger than others, and would work best on tables or stands, while smaller figurines would sit perfectly on a fireplace mantle or narrow shelf.

You should also consider the size of the urn. You want to pick a figurine of an appropriate size so it is proportional to the urn itself. Small urns should have small figurines while larger urns should have medium sized figurines. You should make sure the figurine fits properly on the urn and that the urn is strong enough to hold it.

Once you have the material and size decided upon, you should think carefully about the figurine itself. You want to get one that closely resembles your pet. Some figurines are sitting and laying while some are frolicking and playful, you want to chose one that reminds you of your pet and will honor them appropriately.

By carefully considering all of these things when choosing a figurine for your urn you can create a meaningful lifelong memory that can constantly remind you of your beloved friend.
