(updated, 3/38/2021)
Don’t hesitate to drop us a line if you have a question that we haven’t answered on the website. Unlike most online stores nowadays, we like to take your calls! Pet lovers are special people and we’re here to help. Many of our memorial item customers feel better after they’ve had a chance to share their personal story with someone who understands the bond we develop with our pets.
Regarding engraving and other customization:
Please contact us with your special requests. We want your memorial item to be perfect, so we’ll work with you to get it customized the way you want it. We may be able to adjust the layout or number of available characters to suit your needs, use your custom clip art, etc. Please drop us a line and we’ll do our best to help.
Ordering:
Credit Cards
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Credit cards and Amazon Pay or PayPal as forms of payment. Amazon Pay allows you to log into your Amazon account and use the saved payment methods and ship-to addresses stored in your Amazon.com account. (click here for more information about Amazon Pay Please be sure to provide your exact billing address and telephone number (i.e. the address and phone number your credit card bank has on file for you).
Placing your order
Ordering products through our website is fast, safe and easy. Our online store uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for an encrypted credit card processing connection. We also accept phone orders and if you prefer, you can mail us a certified check or money order (requires extra processing time).
For your convenience and privacy, we do not require a phone number with your order information but we suggest that you include one so that we can contact you quickly if we have any questions about your order, particularly for items requiring engraving or other customization.
Order fulfillment
We make every effort to ship every order the day it was received. Urn orders received before 1:00 PM eastern time are usually shipped the day the order is received (excluding weekends and holidays). This allows us time to assemble the urn and attach an engraved nameplate. Most urns are shipped from our midwest warehouse, which provides the lowest overall transit times for ground shipments within the continental U.S. “Rush shipping” on urns is via UPS 2 Day Air. Weekend or Monday orders are processed in the order received and may require an extra day of processing time (except for rush orders).
Please note that poor performance/long transit times by common carriers, such as UPS, USPS and Fedex are beyond our control. We cannot ship replacements for items that are “stuck” in transit until the carrier agrees to a lost package claim. We cannot issue refunds for packages which are still in transit via a common carrier.
Cremation jewelry items ship via Fedex 2 Day Air, USPS Priority Mail, or USPS First Class mail, depending on the item. Many cremation jewelry orders received before 3:00 PM eastern time ship on the day the order was placed (except weekends and holidays). “Rush shipping” on jewelry items is via USPS Priority Mail Express or Fedex Standard Overnight service. Engraved items may require extra processing time. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about order fulfillment.
After your order has been completed, our system sends a ‘Your order has shipped’ email, which contains a summary of your order along with a sales receipt. In the order summary, you’ll find a carrier tracking number for easy shipment tracking. Of course, you can always call, email or text us with questions about your order. We’re here to help!
International customers:
We ship most of our items to many countries all over the world. You can use the shipping calculator during the checkout process to determine the cost of shipping to your location. Most packages ship via USPS Priority Mail International. In the event that your country isn’t listed or you require a different shipping option, please contact us. Please note that product and shipping costs charged by us do not include any duties, taxes or other charges that may be incurred during shipment. Please also note that most international shipment options DO NOT include package insurance, therefore, we cannot be held responsible for any items that are damaged during shipment.
In some cases, our actual shipping costs will be lower than the amount we charge on our website. We may issue a partial refund of your orders’ shipping charges as a result.
Please note that all prices listed on this site are in U.S. dollars.
Returns:
**Customers are required to contact us** regarding your return before shipping it to us. Many items are shipped directly from the manufacturer and must be sent to a different address. If you send your item to us, we’ll have to forward it to the manufacturer, which will incur an additional shipping fee.
We will gladly accept the return of products. Products must be returned within 30 days of delivery confirmation. A full refund will be issued minus the shipping charge. Returns will be issued for memorial items that are in as-received condition. Urns, jewelry and other items which have been exposed to non-bagged cremains are not returnable. Items with engraved nameplates will be subject to a $20 charge for the plate. We’ll work with you to make sure you’re 100% satisfied with the outcome of your transaction with us.
Regarding returned item shipping charges:
In the event that an order is returned as undeliverable, we reserve the right to withhold shipping charges charged to us by the carrier, as well as a charge for the engraved plate. Some customized items will not be able to be refunded if not deliverable, as the can no longer be returned to stock and resold. If the address submitted with an order is incorrect, the carrier may charge us for an address correction. We reserve the right to deduct that from any returned order refund (if applicable).
This excludes items that were damaged during shipment, incorrect items and items with personalization errors (by us).
Personalized items – returns & exchanges
Once an item has been personalized items can not be returned unless they are defective, damaged or were personalized incorrectly (personalization does not match information submitted by customer). We can not be responsible for spelling, grammar and other errors as submitted. Please include a phone number, as we may try to call or text with any questions we might have.
If you attempt to cancel your order after we’ve already personalized and/or assembled your item(s), we reserve the right to impose a restocking/restoration fee. For example, personalized jewelry items must be sent out for repair/refinishing prior to being returned to stock. Please keep in mind the fact that some personalized items cannot be sold once cancelled or returned.
In the unfortunate event that an order is cancelled after an item has been personalized but before item has been shipped or delivered: Customer will be charged for the item less a courtesy discount. This is an unfortunate circumstance however the policy is in place due to the fact that we personalize most of our items and once they personalized they are unsellable. In the case of urns with an attached engraved plate, we reserve the right to withhold $19.95 for the plate and engraving service.
Regarding construction materials:
Many of the memorial items we sell are made of natural/organic items, such as wood and stone. Due to the nature of these items, variations in color, grain, gloss, etc. may occur. In particular, our hardwood urns can vary from one to the next, as the finished result is determined in part by the characteristics of the base wood used. Consequently, we cannot guarantee your urn will match the sample photos on the site or a previously purchased urn.
