What if I don’t need a plant but still want a Pet Memorial?

Sometimes, families have a preselected plant, tree, or other commemorative element they wish to place into their chosen indoor or patio urn. The Living Urn offers urn-only selection options which enable you to use an alternative plant or tree. You can take your chosen plant from a local nursery or other favorite location, and once your indoor or patio urn arrives, you can follow the instructions to seamlessly plant your chosen foliage.

How long does shipping take?

If you select only the quality crafted indoor or patio urn, you can expect your package to arrive during the standard shipping time allotment. We ship all indoor and patio urns same day if the order is received by 2pm MT (4pm ET).

If you have chosen to further commemorate your beloved pet through one of our provided bonsai trees or houseplants along with the urn, please expect separate packages. The chosen foliage will ship separately within 5 to 10 days from your order. This allows the plant or tree to arrive safely and fresh from our nursery so it will be ready to plant directly upon arrival.

If you are in a situation where you need the bonsai tree or houseplant sooner than the standard 5 to 10 days or have a specific need-by delivery date, please contact us.

Note: Bonsai trees and houseplants cannot ship to HI and AK due to state restrictions.
