Seeking Bronze Artist/Engraver

A recently deceased family member requested their ashes be stored in an engraved bronze urn. Thus far, the typical/off the shelf offerings we have seen do not match the request, which is an engraving of a particular animal. It seems we will need to have the urn custom made, or at least the image engraved. I'd appreciate any referral of contacts for artists in the capital region that might take this sort of commission. Family is in Central NY and the capital region, though I suppose an urn is small enough to ship nationwide for this sort of thing.

We are not at all sure where to even begin with this process, so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
