5 out of 5 starsThis turned out perfect. It was exactly what we wanted for our sweet Ernie boy. It’s something that makes us smile instead of being sad when we see this urn. It reminds us of who he was and why we loved him. After seeing the proofs I asked for a couple of changes. Seller was very friendly and made the changes right away. Easy to work with. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsThe box Alyson made for our precious Baby Girl, was beyond our highest expectations! Baby was a 'pink' little girl. Her box has a pink sunrise, a little pink heart shaped nose on Baby's face, and a hint of pink belly (which caused tears to flow). Once our eyes were dry, my husband and I realized the intricate detail of Alyson's design. I remarked, that it looked like cloisonné enamel! We will be forever grateful to Alyson. She has become a part of our family.

5 out of 5 starsAfter my horse passed away I was searching for a keepsake box to keep a lock of her mane. I was not finding anything that felt very special until I found Alyson. I knew immediately that this is what I was looking for! I asked her if she could do a horse design and it's just perfect! Every time I look at that box I smile and think of the wonderful times I had with Evet. What could be more special than that! Thank you Alyson!

5 out of 5 starsNot enough words to describe how amazing an artist Alyson is. She’s done three of my pups urns over the years along with two custom dog bowls. The latest urn is just stunning and a tribute to my Angel that recently passed.

5 out of 5 starsWow, the urn far exceeded my expectations, which helped to make an emotional and difficult time a bit easier. I was impressed with the time and attention Alyson spent with me to capture the spirit of my Superman, from his fur color and incorporating his name and angle wings to also finding a creative way to include his favorite treats into the urn. She is a talented artist and we immediately could see the care when we received the piece. I absolutely recommend Alyson Whitney’s pet urns and will plan to purchase for my other fur babies when that time comes.

Frequently asked questions
Do you personalize?
Just like your pet, each urn is uniquely personalized with the breed (or mutt) of your choice, name and time on earth. Each piece is created and signed by artist Alyson Whitney.
How do I send you my photos for personalization?
After purchasing, please send 2-3 Hi-Res photos of your beloved pet. You can message the photos to me through ETSY messaging or send them to me directly with your order number at: alyson@alysonwhitney.com
What is a Pre-Production Rendering?
A pre-production artistic rendering is a full color artistic rendering of what your beloved pet will look like on the urn. It will be emailed for final approval before production continues on the final piece. Once I have your approval, I will begin the process of making your original work of art memorializing your pets life.
After the first rendering has been submitted, you can add or change something for an additional cost.
Renderings take 1-2 weeks.
Final Piece delivery is 4-6 weeks.
How do I choose what urn size?
From my experience with clients, some choose based on the live weight of the pet and what the pets remains will fit in and others choose based on the shape they like best. It’s up to you!
• 4” Box Urn - holds up to 45lbs
• 5“ Box Urn - holds up to 90lbs
• Heart Vase Urn - holds up to 85lbs
• Heart Box Urn - holds up to 25lbs
• Figurine Urn - holds up to 60lbs
• Apothecary Urn - holds up to 125lbs
Do you offer Original, One of a Kind Urns?
I do indeed! Let's chat about your cherished memories and collaborate to create the perfect final resting place for your beloved pet. You can message me through ETSY or send me an email: alyson@alysonwhitney.com.
Original works start at $500.00. Pricing is based on level of detail, difficulty, materials and client requests. When I provide you with a pre-production artistic rendering I include the total cost to create your original work of art.
Renderings take 2-3 weeks from the time we start collaborating.
Final Piece delivery is 4-6 weeks.
My urn came with a special sealing glue, how do I use it?
I will provide a small gel sealing glue for you to use. Make sure the area you are gluing is clean and dry. Gently squeeze tube applying 1-3 small drops where you want the parts to be sealed, join the parts and press down carefully for 30 seconds. Allow setting for 24 hours.
Can I make a change to my order?
All of my work is made to order. If you have any changes or additions, the best time to let me know is within 24 hours of your confirmed order. I can not guarantee all changes or additions will be approved but I will certainly do my best! Please message me through ETSY or directly: alyson@alysonwhitney.com
My piece was damaged in shipping, what do I do?
Each piece is packed carefully and correctly utilizing a detailed quality control check method before they leave my studio. Please keep all shipping cartons and packing material for carrier inspection. Call or email me so I can report the damaged piece and file a claim within 2 working days of receiving receipt. Should anything be altered or thrown out the chances of a refund from the carrier are slim as well as the opportunity for me to replace the piece. While replacing a piece means making a new one - additional production time may be required. Please note: I do not provide a refund but I will be happy to provide a replacement piece as long as the shipping carrier has approved the claim.
