Page 2 of 2

5. Angel Oaks 21755 I-45 Building 11 Suite A Living up to their name Angel Oaks will swoop down and take care of your beloved pet for you. They only offer cremations, but their attitude about it is just wonderful. They maintain a 24-hour pick up services that also includes roadside collection to spare you the horror of having to bundle up a tragic accident. In addition they will exhume and cremate previously buried pets if you happen to be moving and want to take your pet with you. Rescue, guide, and K-9 animals receive special discounts, and you can have a small service while witnessing the cremation for an additional fee.

4. Treasured Paws 33506 Haley Road Treasured Paws in Waller specializes in a couple of unique areas that makes them attractive to more niche pet owners. They handle a number of exotic species if you want to honor a pet that's not a dog or a cat. They also use the same electronic tracking system human cremations use to ensure that you're getting your beloved friend. Most cool, they have probably the best selection of urns with many unusual styles. If they don't have what you're looking for, they will do their best to find it. Of all the crematoriums Treasured Paws is the best equipped to make, lasting home for a pet's remains to keep with you. Like Paws Memorial they have a nice database of grief counseling links on their site.

3. Hale's Half Acre 11614 Dumas Street For more than 50 years this site has hosted pet burials in Houston, and it shows. Where other cemeteries are relatively young and cohesive, Hale's Half Acre is just full of its own unique charm having been colored by the grief and expression of two generations of mourners paying tribute to their favorite companions. Pet owners wanting their pet's final rest to be as personal and one-of-a-kind as possible? This is who you call.

2. A Bit of Heaven 8726 Congo Lane If you want a really full-scale pet cemetery experience A Bit of Heaven can provide for almost any need. They do everything from full services with grave stones and yearly maintenance to simple cremations with urns. Pretty much everything you could do for a human you can do for a pet at A Bit of Heaven, and for pet lovers on a budget you can opt to have your friend's name inscribed on their memorial wall for less than $50, $75 if you wish to include a picture.

1. Fond Memories 1102 South Seventh Street The only downside to Fond Memories is its location all the way out in Conroe. If that doesn't deter you then it's very close to perfect. They have a nine-acre cemetery for private plots as well as a memorial wall, full cremation services and euthanasia help. It's sort of a silly thing, but they also have an active Facebook page where mourners are encouraged to share their experiences with their lost pets, advise others on grief and loss and just in general share what it means to love an animal so much. I must have spent fifteen minutes on it just clicking through stories. They definitely build a sense of community.
