Losing a loved one is never easy. In fact, it's not uncommon among pet owners to see the remains of their cat or dog (or... other beloved friend) cremated and kept in an urn for good housekeeping. But the idea of taking those ashes and spilling them from an urn into a pillow? Frankly, that gives us the heebie-jeebies.

The Soft-Hearted Pillow is just that: an alternative to the "solid, stationary urn, positioned on a shelf, forever still" (well, when you put it that way...). Indeed, in those hard times, the wish to hug your furry friend just one more time is a painful part of the mourning process, but the prospect of embracing a pillow and feeling the ashes -- kept inside a pouch hidden within the pillow itself -- is, how you say, creepy times a thousand.

The Soft-Hearted Pillow is made from micro fleece fabrics and comes in three colors with a braided trim and "option for personalization," meaning that when a guest asks why the pillow on which they're sleeping reads "Mrs. Twinkletoes," they may just trade the dead cat for mere floor board.

Rest in peace, kitty, just as we do on you.

I hate to say it, but Ugh. We do have some of our dogs ashes, but just until we find a forever home to bury them in.

I love my pets and am heartbroken if they pass on, but to burn their dead bodies and stuff them into a pillow?! Sure my cat is like my daughter but I can't begin to imagine doing something like this, I love her but thats overkill.

we just lost our 14 year old lab-shepherd female 4 weeks ago and i am still crying every day. i miss her terribly. we had her cremated and will bury her in our yard in a section that we will pour cement over. we will then put an inscription with her name and dates on it.this is the first pet that we have lost. we have 2 other dogs and they definitely knew that she was gone. they are still adjusting to life without Ebony.

I think this is a great idea for my "Checkers".
Also I wish to know if some of my mother's urn cremains could be inserted.

Hey Trini, didn't you have a hit song about a hammer? Oh hey, there there, don't cry, these pillows come in the scalding waterproof model too.

I found this product very useful for my "Lundy" and will now remember him forever. Lundy was very old when passing.
When my little pet "Anton" passes I will order another.

We loved and lost my beautiful English Bull Terrier Lilli 3 days ago after 11 wonderful years after suffering a massive heart attack. I don't care if there are people on here that think its sentimental rubbish, everyone grieves differently and should be allowed to do so. I think its wonderful that someone has come up with this idea and I have this morning ordered a cushion for when Lilli's ashes come back to me on Christmas Eve. Lil loved being on the settee, with the sun coming through the window and being cuddled. Thats our memory of us and thats where she'll stay.
