Beechwood Wrapped Dog Urn

$372.00

A dignified vessel crafted to honour your beloved companion's memory. This Beechwood dog urn combines timeless elegance with respectful craftsmanship, offering a serene resting place that celebrates the bond you shared. Finished with refined details, it serves as a meaningful tribute: a beautiful keepsake that brings comfort during difficult times.

Sculpted in the shape of a dog curled and wrapped in a blanket, this urn carries a small, tender idea at its heart: that caring for a pet often comes down to something as simple as wrapping them up warm when it's cold. The blanket is a stand-in for that instinct, to look after them, to keep them safe and comfortable. The pose was designed around a moment that feels instantly familiar, the way a dog settles at the end of the day.

It's a warm, dignified piece rather than an ornamental one, built to hold your dog's ashes inside while sitting comfortably as part of your home rather than tucked away.

Every piece is designed by hand and produced in small runs, so small variations in tone and grain between individual pieces are part of the material rather than a flaw.

Beechwood was chosen for this piece because it's a soft, light timber that's still hard enough to hold and protect your dog's ashes for good, special enough for the purpose, but easy to sculpt into fine detail. It's a hardwood built to last, developing a soft patina over years indoors rather than showing wear.

Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from damp to protect the finish, and a soft, dry cloth is all it needs day to day.

Small - H18x12cm
Medium - H26xD17.5cm

Small - 200ml / 12.20 cu in
Medium - 600ml / 36.61 cu in

It's available in two sizes: Small (H18 x 12cm, 200ml / 12.20 cubic inches) and Medium (H26 x D17.5cm, 600ml / 36.61 cubic inches), so you can choose based on your dog's size. As a general guide, the small suits smaller breeds and the medium gives noticeably more room for medium dogs; if your dog was a larger breed, our Round Beechwood Pet Urn with Leather Collar (Large, 91.54 cubic inches) or one of our resin or ceramic large sizes may offer a better fit. Feel free to contact us if you'd like help comparing capacities.

This urn is designed for indoor display only, opening to hold ashes securely inside.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, it opens securely to hold your dog's ashes, so it functions as a genuine urn rather than a purely symbolic piece.

The Medium holds 600ml (36.61 cubic inches), which suits small-to-medium dogs comfortably. For larger breeds, our Round Beechwood Urn with Leather Collar (Large) and our resin and ceramic large sizes all hold significantly more.

Rest By Me offers two types of memorial pieces: ash-holding urns, designed to keep your pet's ashes safely inside, and symbolic memorial pieces, which serve as a beautiful place for remembrance without holding ashes.

All pieces are designed to feel at home within your living space, not hidden away.

The right piece comes down to how you'd like to remember your pet and where you'd like to keep them.

If you want to keep their ashes close indoors, our indoor collection offers beautifully crafted pieces in wood, brass and clay.

If you'd prefer a garden memorial, our outdoor collection is designed to endure the elements. Consider also whether you'd like a functional urn or a symbolic piece, both are equally meaningful.

As a general guide, one kilogram of your pet's body weight equates to approximately one cubic inch of urn capacity. So a 10kg dog would need an urn with at least 10 cubic inches of capacity. Several of our urns are available in two sizes to accommodate different breeds. You can check the capacity section above, but if you're unsure, feel free to contact us and we'll help you find the right fit.

Most pieces in the Rest By Me collection are functional urns designed to hold your pet's ashes. Each product listing indicates whether a piece holds ashes or is a symbolic memorial. Our outdoor figurine pieces work differently, the bronze figurine and post mark the spot while ashes are placed in the ground beneath.

This depends on the piece. Most indoor urns open at the top or base to allow ashes to be placed inside. Our clay urn can also be used as a biodegradable option, if ashes are removed from their plastic bag and placed directly inside, the entire urn can be buried and will biodegrade naturally. Full instructions are included with each piece on arrival.

Rest By Me pieces are crafted from a range of considered materials including beechwood, red gum timber, clay, brass, bronze, ceramic and sand resin. Each material is chosen for its warmth, longevity and suitability for the home. Material details are listed on each individual product page.

Absolutely, our indoor collection is specifically designed for this. Each piece is crafted to blend naturally into your living space, sitting comfortably on a shelf, mantle or beside a favourite chair. Many customers find comfort in keeping their pet close in a space they share every day.

Yes — there are no laws in Australia that prevent you from keeping your pet's ashes at home. Many people find it comforting to keep their pet close in a meaningful vessel. Rest By Me pieces are designed specifically to make that feel considered and personal.

Care varies by material. Wooden pieces should be kept away from direct sunlight and moisture. Brass and bronze pieces can be gently wiped with a soft dry cloth. Clay and ceramic pieces are delicate and should be handled with care. Detailed care instructions are included with every purchase.
