Private Pet Cremation

Pet Cremation Packages

Some cremation centers today offer primarily group cremation. This is when multiple pets are cremated all at once. Our Cremation Center guarantees a private and caring method of cremation, one at a time.

You can be assured that you will receive only your pet’s cremated remains.

Compassion Extended

"A few short weeks ago, my husband and I said goodbye to a very dear member of our family, our Golden Retriever, Bear. He had been with us for almost 12 years and his death was devastating to us. But I want to tell you about a service that we used that helped to soften the blow.

You came to our home that night to take our Bear from us. You came to our door wearing a suit and tie, and when I commented on the attire, he said that our pets deserve as much respect and dignity as a person.

He brought in a pet stretcher that had a nice clean covering on it, and as he placed our dog on the stretcher, he spoke to him the whole time. He assured him that he was going to be safe and that he would not be alone in the funeral home that night before going on to the next step. We escorted the stretcher out to the van that was used for pet removal from the home, and as he turned around, he held his hands out to us and offered his sincere condolences for our loss. Of course, my husband and I were fighting back the sobs. But as the vehicle pulled off into the night, we somehow felt serene in the midst of our sorrow.

For those of you who read this that do not feel the same love for pets as we do, this may seem very frivolous and ridiculous. But we have never, ever been so moved."
