Pet Aftercare & Bereavement Services

“My experience with Paws to Remember was off the charts. I cannot recommend their services more highly. With sensitive understanding and generous support, Paws to Remember helped me organize the most beautiful memorial service for my dog. I could not have done this alone. Maryglenn Warnock, minister, delivered the most beautiful eulogy I have ever heard. Paws to Remember offered me the opportunity to celebrate my pet and begin the healing process. I am forever indebted.”
