Pet Cremation


Caring for Your Entire Family

Anderson-McQueen Funeral & Cremation Centers is dedicated to serving your entire family--and we realize your pet is an important member of your family. Pets are unconditionally loyal companions that profoundly touch our lives. Because pets bring us immeasurable happiness, love and joy, it can be devastating to lose such an adored friend.

At Anderson-McQueen, we understand the overwhelming sorrow that results from losing a four-legged companion. That's why we offer families individual pet cremations and customized memorial services to help you say goodbye to your pet in a loving and dignified manner. Anderson-McQueen has served the Tampa Bay area for more than half a century, and we are the only funeral home offering these unique pet cremations and services.


Our Peaceful Pet Passages™ Facilities

Located just next door to our Cremation Tribute Center, Anderson-McQueen's Pet Passages™ facility offers a dignified and appropriate setting for you to say goodbye to your pet. Your family can have a private gathering or a memorial ceremony for your beloved pet in our beautiful Rainbow Bridge Room where the glowing candles and flowing waterfall offer serenity and comfort.

Our state-of-the-art Pet Passages™ crematory also is located right on the same campus. Because we are the only pet crematory owned and operated by a local funeral home, we can guarantee that your pet will be cremated with dignity and respect. Your beloved pet will never leave our compassionate care. Be assured that your pet will be cremated individually and honorably at our crematory, unlike other pet facilities that perform mass cremations. We can even arrange for your family to witness the cremation process if you so desire.

First-Class Pet Services & Products

We realize that each family has their own unique set of wishes when it comes to memorializing their pet. Our staff will work with your family to tailor a distinctive pet cremation, a private family goodbye, or a memorial service to meet all of your needs. As part of our exceptional pet cremations and services, we can offer the following:
  • Transportation of your pet from your home or veterinary hospital to our Pet Passages™ facilities
  • Private Family Goodbyes or Pet memorial services
  • Large selection of pet urns and memorial keepsakes
  • Assistance with pet cemetery arrangements
  • Delivery of the urn with your pet's cremated remains to your home
  • Our exclusive Secure Passages™ pet tracking system

Saying Goodbye

The Anderson-McQueen staff understands how important it is to properly say goodbye to your passed pet. We encourage families to have a private Family Goodbye or hold a memorial ceremony in honor of their pet. Additionally, our staff is available to help your family create the perfect tribute to reflect your pet's unique life. These comforting events offer you and your family the opportunity to share stories about your beloved pet and say your final goodbyes. We also welcome other pets in our Pet Passages™ facility, and we invite you to bring all of your pet family members to the gathering or ceremony so they can say their goodbyes as well.

Finding Closure

Because we are pet lovers ourselves, we understand that many people grieve just as deeply over the loss of a pet as they do over the loss of a human loved one.

For this reason, we are dedicated to providing the same first-rate support to all of the families we serve, including those who have recently lost a furry family member.

Closure is an extremely important part of any healthy grieving process. We offer several perfect ways to say goodbye to a dearly loved pet following its death. Our compassionate staff specializes in guiding families through their grief, and we have a certified bereavement specialist on staff to help you and your family through the difficult time following the loss of a pet.

Because losing a pet is often a child's first experience with death, it is extremely important to make that experience as positive as possible. Our comforting staff will help your child understand their confusing emotions and say goodbye to their beloved pet in a healthy manner.
