Infinite Love Pet Urns

The bond between a pet and their family is often felt as something that transcends the passing of years. Families describe a bond that was there before they could say when it began. This collection is made for the pet who was a constant presence, and for the people who expected that devotion to never truly end.

An infinity loop has no beginning and no end. It is a shape that represents a connection without a conclusion, mirroring the way many describe their time with a companion. Most people can name the specific moment a pet became part of the family, but none can name the moment that belonging stopped. The love is often found in the smallest, most repeated things, like the greeting at the door, the weight of a head on a knee, or the same chair every day. For a cat or a dog, these rituals become the rhythm of a home, and the years spent together often feel far too short.

The engraved infinite love loop reads clearly from across a room. Most of these pieces are cast aluminum with a painted finish in a range of colors. For the small and extra-large sizes, a hand-applied enamel finish is available, featuring hand-detailed silver bands. The Signature Wood urns are made in the USA in the extra-large size, in solid walnut or alder hardwood sealed with a natural finish.

This collection includes a small size for a pet up to 40 pounds, a large size for a pet up to 120 pounds, and an extra-large size for a pet up to 200 pounds. All of these are made to hold the full remains of a pet, while a keepsake size is also available to hold a small portion.

A name and specific dates can be made a permanent part of the piece through two-tone engraving. The engraving is cut directly into the surface, and it is offered as an option.

The mathematician John Wallis introduced the infinity sign in 1655 in his De sectionibus conicis, and he used it again in his Arithmetica infinitorum. Wallis never said why he chose the shape. One suggestion is that, as a classical scholar, he took it from an old Roman sign for one thousand, and another is that it came from omega, the last letter of the Greek alphabet.

For a family, the design on the urn is that same shape, and the same idea it was made to hold: a love with no end to it.

If the pet took the same walk with you every day, then this design will read as theirs. Families may choose this design because the love did not stop when the pet did, even when the time spent together felt far too short. You may find yourself picturing the chair that was claimed every single day.
