The Cedar Bend Humane Society Memorial Garden is available to anyone wishing to have a last resting place for their pet. The cemetery is located on the Cedar Bend Humane Society campus. It is a fenced acreage, which includes lilac bushes, rose bushes, and a center garden with a bench for rest and reflection.
If you wish to have your pet buried in the Memorial Pet Cemetery, you will need to purchase a plot. Flowers are permitted during designated holidays. Memorial headstones are also available.
