Final Gift - Pine Rest Pet Cemetery

Wanted to send a huge thank you to everyone I dealt with this week during an extremely difficult time losing my cat Jim. Over 3 hours away from Rochester my baby lost his life in an emergency situation at a vet clinic in Ithaca. I did not feel it was right in my heart to have the clinic he was at handle his remains. While crying in the waiting room I thought about Pine Rest Pet Cemetery and I called. I lost my other cat Bella in July of 2025. Going through Lap of Love she was handled and cremated at this location. The care that was given to me and Bella stuck in my heart. When it came to Jim I knew exactly what to do. Not only did Joe go all the way to Ithaca to pick Jim up the next day 2/5/26. My baby was cremated the same day and ready for me to pick up 2/6/26. I wasn’t even sure if they

We recently visited our Shana today. She was buried in 1994. Upon entering the property it seemed to be in degraded condition. It’s been 10-20 years since we last visited and have been out of state only to find out that there is new management. I have some recommendations. Please clean up around the grave markers. Our Shana was completely buried in mud and grass. Repave the entrance and more directions are needed. I wish the new owners well. More and more people nowadays treat their fur babies as family. Thank you for assisting us in the location of our deceased furry baby.

We brought our Beautiful lil Skittles for Cremation...Staff was professional, the building was nice inside. We have brought a couple of our pets here...Thanks for the way you made us feel better during a sad time

I'm sad to say the Pine Rest Pet Cemetary is not what it used to be. Our last trip there was a few years ago. Under new management now, it is still a beautiful final resting place for your beloved friend furry or otherwise. The biggest thing that is missing is one small but extremely important detail so meaningful to anyone who brings their companion, their family member there. I am sure there are many who have done just that & appreciated the owner's sentiment in doing it to provide comfort in our time of sorrow. The former owners would send the grieving family, after about a week, a beautiful certificate stating the companions' name, date of passing, & that their remains were now part of the scatter garden enjoying their newfound freedom with the other much loved friends that are there.

Dealing with Pine Rest was a sense of love, care, and peace during one of the hardest times of my life. My poor Remmi had to be put down suddenly. Through the devastating time, the only place I have ever used was Pine Rest in the past. I didn't know they changed owners since my last dealings with them. They answered the phone the 1st time I called, and any subsequent call was met with the same response, just like in the past. I was "shocked" at the price, but look around, show me a price that isn't shocking compared to a few years ago....(don't worry, I'll wait). The lady on the phone (Emily) was truly compassionate and caring. It felt like I was bringing my family member to a family member. The tenderness, the care, the respect they showed my Remmi from the moment I arrived until th
