Family Pet Memorial
At Family Pet Memorial, we believe that the love of a pet lives forever. As pet owners ourselves, we know firsthand how difficult it is to loose such an important part of your family, and how overwhelming it can be to make decisions at this time of loss. We also understand the unique expressions of love and devotion you have shared with your beloved pet. These experiences are beyond the understanding of those who have not shared their life with a pet.
With that in mind, OUR MISSION is to treat your beloved pet with the same care, compassion, and dignity in death as you and your family did throughout his or her life. We are Pet Loss Professionals who care about you and your pet and will do all we can to help you through this difficult time.
Family Owned & Operated
Since 1967, Family Pet Memorial has been trusted to provide caring and dignified afterlife care for people’s pets. We are a family of professionals specializing in Guaranteed Private Cremation and Burial services. Since the early 90’s, we have been performing private cremation to the highest standards in the industry. We are the only cremation service offered through local veterinary practices that is open to the public and provides both private cremation and burial service.
Family Pet Memorial Gardens is the oldest operating animal cemetery in the Inland Northwest and provides a final resting place for over a thousand beloved pets – from birds to horses. The beauty of the grounds testifies to the love pet owners have for their animal companions.
We serve the communities of Eastern Washington and North Idaho and welcome all inquiries and visitors. If you experience the loss of a pet, please let us know how we can help.
