Abstract

A personalized decorative urn for retaining the ashes of a loved one, such as a deceased pet, in a decorative container suitable to be personalized in a way to honor the loved one interred therein includes a container body which defines a rigid receptacle with integral side photo slots and a top neck sized to receive a removable lid. Each photo slot defines a three closed side, one open side enclosure which is sized to receive and securely hold a conventional printed photograph. The top neck is configured to allow an attachable card to be coupled with the container body through a decorative ribbon. In operation, the personalized decorative urn allows a loved ones ashes to be held in a container which has been decorated by an end user with photographs and other written indicia placed in the photo slots or in the attachable card.
