Entry Description

Losing someone you love is heartbreaking. Pet parents can develop a deeper type of bond with an animal that is more pure than human relationships, and free of expectations. It is this type of love that makes goodbyes even harder. We created this beautiful decorative urn as a reminder that death doesn't have to mean the color black. Inspired by orchids, our design is visitor friendly, functional, and elegantly lights up in honor of lives of animals and their unique connection to nature. Users can personalize by replacing our pendant with pet tags or paw prints on the orchid's branches.
