Paws and Remember
Paws & Remember is a local company that works to help pet owners in a time of mourning and reflection. By bringing together support services and memorialization options, Paws & Remember helps pet owners cope with loss and honor their pets in an appropriate, meaningful way.

Pets are privately cremated and returned to their owners, within a week, in a light colored wooden box. The Basic Plus Package also includes engraving on the box and a clay paw print with your pet’s name engraved.
Common Cremation
Pets are cremated in a group, with other loved pets. Their ashes are then buried at Paws and Remember’s Memorial Garden.
Pet Urns
Paws and Remember offers a wide variety of Urns and Packages. They also have jewelry, beads, and pendants available. Please ask us and we can supply a brochure for you.
