In honor of National Pet Memorial Day, I am proud to sponsor the 6th annual “Remembering Our Pets” event, hosted by Journeys Home and Memorial Pet Services. The ceremony is a loving way to honor pets that are no longer with us, and a way to celebrate the wonderful companion animals currently in our lives.
Please join us as we celebrate the pets in our lives we have loved. We will have a short memorial ceremony and share pet memories. Afterwards there will be light refreshments outside in the park and commemorative pet tributes. Please bring a photo or written remembrance to share. This event is free and open to all pet lovers.
Join 100+ pet lovers in celebration of the lives of our pets.
- A short memorial ceremony with speakers like Dr. Katie
- Shared pet memories
- Light refreshments in the park
- Commemorative pet tributes in the park

Our pets spend their love and their lives devoted to us. Each of our pets have blessed us with a very special relationship. By being in relationship with us, they have given their love and joy to us to share, and even though their physical bodies may be gone, the love and joy stays with us. We cherish and remember them, and share our memories today, on National Pet Remembrance Day. So today, my question is how has your pet blessed you?
