We Help Families Honor Their Beloved Pets
Over the years, your pet has become an important member of your family, with their unique personality and unconditional love. When facing the loss of a pet, a family typically experiences the same sense of loss as it would for the "human" members of the family.
At Athens Pet Cremation, we treat pets just like any other family member. We are here to provide your beloved pet the respect and dignity they deserve in their final farewell. Athens Pet Cremation In Partnership with Lord & Stephens is here to care for your entire family during this difficult time.
We can bring your pet into our care during business hours by meeting at our crematory by appointment, or by picking up from your home, or vet.
Please call us to make arrangements to bring your pet into our care.
