A Brief Guide to Our Spirit Animal Cremation Urns Collection
Aligning oneself with a real-world animal is a long-standing tradition among native peoples who live – or once lived – close to nature. It’s a practice that’s been widely adopted by those of us seeking to personally acknowledge their spiritual connection to the natural world –by identifying with the spiritual power and physical attributes of a specific animal or insect.
Your chosen spirit animal acts as your guide in life; it’s also said to protect you on life’s journey. Through this long-lived relationship, a spirit animal confers its characteristics to the individuals aligned with it.

Said to represent balance, playfulness, and harmony, dolphins are the chosen spiritual animal for many people. These highly intelligent creatures have long held special cultural significance in societies around the world. They are believed to hold powers of:
Protection

Inner Strength
Cooperation

One customer, in reviewing the Playful Dolphin Cremation Urn noted how hard it was for her to find a dolphin urn for her mother: “My mother loved dolphins and I searched the internet for days to find one. No other place had one as nice as this one.”
Urns with Birds
Birds have captured our imaginations for millennia. Humans have envied their ability to soar above the earth; but we also admire their keen vision, and unique characteristics –such as their coloration, size, temperament, and often fascinating social habits.
