It is important to take into account the religious beliefs and values of your loved one when you are choosing a companion or memorial urn. For Catholics, a human body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, which is fed at the Eucharistic table. When we die, we participate in the bodily resurrection. For these reasons, certain cultural practices are not considered reverent. Catholics do not allow the mixing of cremated remains or their division among family members. Catholics should consult their priests for help in choosing the right urn.
Matching sets of urns

You can choose a matching wall plaque for your dog or a metal bird urn for your cat. Each piece is designed to have a different image when placed together. Secure Haven offers a step-by–step guide to help you choose the right urn.

How To
How to choose the perfect name for your pet
Name selection is one of most important decisions when you adopt a pet. Names should reflect who your pet is and their personality.
It is important to consider how other people might refer to you - for instance, if they are going to be called by their name in conversation. And finally, you should think about how you yourself would like to be referred to. What do you prefer, for example, "dog" or pet?
Here are some tips and tricks to help you get going.
-
Choose a name that is appropriate for your dog's breed. Look up the names associated to the breed, if you have a good idea of what it is (e.g. Labradoodle). Ask someone who has a deep understanding of dogs for suggestions on naming a dog after the breed.
-
Consider the meaning behind the name. Some breeds are named for people or places, others are nicknames. Because he was always running, the name Rover was given to a Labrador Retriever.
-
What would you prefer to be called? Would you rather call your dog "dog", or "pet"? Are you more likely to call your dog "Puppy" than "Buddy?"
-
Don't forget to include the owner's first name. It's sensible to give your dog an owner's name. But, don't limit yourself by limiting your family's names. Your dog could grow up to become a member of your family.
-
Keep in mind that many pets have multiple names. A cat, for example, might have multiple names depending on where she lives. She could be known as "Kitty Cat" at home but "Molly" while visiting her friends. This is especially true of cats who live outdoors. They may choose to name themselves after the environment in which they live.
-
Be creative There are no rules saying that you must stick to a specific naming convention. It is important to pick something distinctive and memorable.
-
Be sure to check that your chosen name does not already belong in the hands of another person or organization. You won't accidentally steal the identity of someone else!
-
Don't forget that choosing a name is not an exact science. Sometimes it takes time to determine whether a name is right for your dog. Keep looking until you find that perfect name.
