Featuring Shine On Brightly! A Good Goodbye TV: Options for Keeping Cremated Remains

Give the Gift of Love This Holiday

Each year I find myself stumped about gift ideas for friends and family. Buying something for the sake of giving a gift is not always the best use of money and resources. Finding a special, personal object is always more meaningful. For those people on your list who have lost a loved one or a cherished pet, there’s nothing more meaningful and heartfelt than a unique, artist-made memorial. A decorative urn can capture the aesthetic and spirit of someone. A handmade book is a beautiful gift for anyone, and can be used for many purposes, such as photographs, scrap book, or special journal. A decorative glass urn is perfect for the collector of extraordinary objects, and it can enhance any decor. Artist-designed jewelry is always a greatly appreciated gift. These are just some of the ideas for this season’s gift-giving. We at Shine On Brightly enjoy helping you to find the perfect item. Feel free to give us a call toll free at 866-844-4469 or email info@shineonbrightly.com. We’re happy to help!

Affordable Pet Urns

More and more people are choosing cremation as an end of life option for pets. Pet cremation is available for all types of pets, including dogs, cats, bird, snakes, and more.  This trend has sparked an overwhelming abundance of online resources for pet urns. Many are outsourced, expensive, mass-produced, and impersonal. But there are plenty of affordable, unique pet urns on the market.

There's no doubt that a pet owner who opts for cremation for a pet has an enormous love for that pet. Maybe you want to keep the ashes with you after a move, or scatter the ashes at your dog's favorite beach. There is a myriad of reasons for this upswing in pet cremation. Each pet is unique and special, so a pet owner often seeks to memorialize that pet in a special way.

Today's technology helps pet owners find affordable pet urns. The selection is vast. There are pet urns made of ceramic, there are wooden pet urns, metal, and glass. Many of these can be found for a very reasonable price. There are even pet urns that are formed to resemble a dog, cat, or other pet. Another way to personalize an affordable pet urn is to engrave the pet's name and dates on the surface of the urn. Otherwise, there are plenty of online companies that can include your pet's information, even image, on the face of the pet urn.
