"All things bright and beautiful All creatures great and small All things wise and wonderful The Lord God made them all"
Cecil Frances Alexander 1818 - 1895

Although some people may wonder why the necessity of such a section, the management of the cemeteries feel that there is a need in the community for a pet cemetery where a beloved pet can be buried with dignity. People bury people because they have to...pets because they want to.

Why bury with dignity? For the same reason one does it for any other member of the family. Because the family pet is indeed a member of the family. Pets demand little and give much...in love, loyalty, and devotion. Honorable pet burial is by no means new or unusual. Actually, the custom dates back to prehistoric man, as demonstrated by decorations on the walls of early cave dwellings.

The pet section is planned as any section of the cemetery with vital records kept on all the pets. There are individual pet spaces, as well as pet estates for those who have several pets and want to individualize their lot. The cemetery also carries a selection of pet caskets/vaults. If you have been acquainted with the joy of owning an animal whose companionship made your life a happier one, know the satisfaction of marking his last resting place with a granite or bronze memorial.

The cemetery accepts all types of pets; however, there may be some circumstances that would not permit the burial of a pet. Such an example would be largeness of size. The cemetery has a "Memorial Tribute Program", so that a tribute to the pet can be made by the family.
