About Me
I am married with seven children. I live in rural Caledonia, MN on a hobby farm. In the last 26 years my family has raised sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits, cows, dogs, and cats. With raising all of these animals, I know the pain of losing a beloved pet. The reason I’m passionate about having a pet cremation business is due to my own personal values of what I’d want to see for my own pet. If I were to have my beloved pet cremated, I would want to know that my pet is being placed in the hands of someone who is honest, loving, caring, and would treat my loved one with the utmost respect and dignity during that difficult time.

What to do When a Pet Passes
After a pet passes away physical changes begin immediately. To ease the process wrap your pet in a towel or blanket, then place on a tarp or piece of plastic. For larger pets put them in a curled position, with their legs tucked in, as if sleeping. While waiting for me to arrive, if possible, place your pet in a cool location such as a fridge, freezer, or cover in ice.
