Wooden Urns


Magic Window

Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation is pleased to present the Magic Window series of urns. 

Manufactured in the United States of indigenous hard woods, these urns are favored by families for their workmanship, ease of use and choices offered.

Many families prefer an urn that allows them to incorporate a favorite picture of their pet into the urn. Magic Window refers to the frame feature that is a part of each urn. The design makes insertion of the picture simple, eliminating the need to cut the picture so that it fits exactly into the frame.  The frame is accessible by sliding it sideways, eliminating the need to open the entire urn to insert or change the picture.

The urn allows you to chose the shape of the frame that best fits your picture. Your choice for frames include the following shapes:

  • Rectangular
  • Oval
  • Double Oval
  • Heart
  • Tilted Heart

Except for the Rectangular frame, all frames can be lasered with your pet’s name and two dates.  Some families show their pet’s date of birth and some show their pet’s date of adoption into their home.  

As an alternative to personalizing the frame, you may choose to have a sentiment, name and dates to be lasered onto the top, back or side of the urn.

The Double Oval frame can be used in several ways. You may chose to show a kitten/puppy photo in one opening and an adult photo in another. Alternatively, you may want to put two pets to rest in the same urn, so you may show a picture of each pet in the two ovals.

The Tilted Heart frame comes with the sentiment “Forever In Our Hearts” lasered along the side of the frame. This still allows you to have your pet’s name and dates lasered onto the face of the frame. You may choose the Forever In Our Hearts sentiment to be lasered plain or to have paw prints cascading between each word.

There are two fonts available to be used to laser your pet’s name and dates:

  • Monotype Corsiva which resembles handwriting
  • Times New Roman

The picture shows a sample of each. You may also chose to have sets of four pawprints lasered into the corner(s) of the frame or top.


Magic Window urns are available in four different woods. 

  • Maple is the lightest color wood available. 
  • Oak provides for a more visable grain and is a little darker than the Maple. 
  • Cherry, in its natural unstained condition, is a warm color that perfectly complements pets whose fur is caramel, auburn or tan. 
  • Walnut provides a deep rich brown.


Magic Window urns are available in three sizes:

Small               Suitable for small dogs and cats

Medium          Suitable for medium dogs or two small dogs or cats

Large              Suitable for large dogs



New Keepsake Design

octagonal wooden urns for cats, dogs and other petsAs one further choice that you may consider, the Magic Window line has introduced a Keepsake design. 

octagonal wooden urns for cats, dogs and other petsOnly available as a medium size urn, the keepsake box has a hinged top lid that opens to expose a 1” deep felt lined compartment that provides ready access to tags, small toys or other mementos that you want to keep with your pet. The Keepsake Urn is available in either Oak or Cherry and only comes with the Oval Frame.

The Keepsake Urn can either be lasered on the frame or on the top. The design of the Magic Window frame on the Keepsake urn differs slightly from that of the other urns; the picture slips easily behind the frame once the lid is lifted.

As you can see, Magic Window urns provide a wide variety of choices in material, design and presentation so that the urn you ultimately receive is a one of a kind memorial to properly remember your one in a million companion.  While you may certainly get an idea of what you may want for your pet, your family may benefit from the knowledge and guidance that we can provide in making the right selections to customize your pet’s urn.
