Scatter Box
This is the simplest option for ash return. We use a high-quality natural cardboard, so you can choose to keep your pet close or scatter the ashes somewhere special. Please note, the ashes will be within a plastic bag in the box to protect them. If you would like a biodegradable option instead this can be arranged.

Keepsake Box
This raw wood box is made with sustainable New Zealand pine in Southern Canterbury. It can be opened so you can add special memories of your pet. The box size will depend on the size of your pet, but we have allowed enough room for both their ashes and other mementoes to be stored comfortably. Their ashes will be wrapped in a calico cloth bag to protect them. This box can be customised with engraving, please be aware this will add some time for the ashes to be returned to you as the box will be customised for each pet as needed.
