Smudge is in a walnut box with a porcelain tuxedo kitty figurine attached to the top with a space in the front to store a picture of her. It was VERY pricey because we got it from a catalog at the vet's office we took her to for her final care. Got sucked in by the moment and the staff played on our emotions to get us to order something for her right after we put her down. Not that it's not a beautiful resting place, but we never would've spent over $100 (!) for an urn otherwise.
Diva is in this urn. I spent a couple of days before she was due to come home surfing both amazon and etsy and this particular one just spoke to me. I thought it was pretty darn reasonably priced for a brass urn. I ordered the smallest one and it was HUGE compared to her actual cremains. I'd rather go larger than not big enough, obviously, but wow!
The more I think about it, the Rainbow Bridge themed one is a bit much, so that's slowly going out of the running. It's now mainly between the first one and the third one. J likes the first one more than any of the others, commenting that it reminds him of Jazz laying in her little blue bed, a place she spent a great deal of her time. But damn, do I love that purple one brass one, too! Me and my obsessive love of the colour purple... ;)
At least I'm starting to narrow it down. And I've got some time--vet's office says it'll take at least two weeks for the cremains to come back to them, so that's a good thing. No need to rush my decision.
Thanks for your thoughts on this matter. I really appreciate it! :)
