A Private, Peaceful Space to Say Goodbye

We understand how important it is to have a quiet moment with your beloved pet before their final journey. If you would like to visit with your pet before cremation, we offer a private Viewing & Visitation Service in our welcoming space.

Our lobby area, which can be made private for families, includes a comfortable couch and table, allowing you to spend as much time as you need. You are also welcome to bring flowers, photos, your pet’s favorite toy, or even other pets to say goodbye.
