Fond Memories Pet Cemetery & Crematorium

Now the couple’s sons are involved in the business in which they grew up watching their parents work. Casey Springer said most of Fond Memories’ business comes from cremation, and only a few pet parents choose to bury their animals on site. For these private cremations, the Fond Memories staff picks up pets from a veterinarian’s office and bring the pet’s ashes back to the office for pet owners to pick up.

Another common service is in-home euthanasia. Fond Memories partners with local veterinarians—because the process must be performed by a licensed professional—who visit pet owners’ homes to put the animal to sleep. Then, Fond Memories takes care of everything that comes after.

“People do it for the same reason as they do home hospice care,” Casey said. “It is comforting for their pet and them to be in their home.”

Pet owners with animals buried on-site are given keys and the keycode to the grounds and can visit anytime, but customers can only visit during operating hours on weekdays when staff is available.

Pet owners who choose cremation receive a complimentary urn, but there are a variety of upgrades available, including stone, metal and ceramic urns. There are also pet keepsakes and clay paw print impressions. Keepsakes include a variety of cremation jewelry, keychains and lockets.

The Springers provide services to the entire Greater Houston area, Laura said, and will travel to any corner of the metropolitan area to serve a family.

“If people call and need our help, we are there for them and do everything in our power to make sure they are taken care of,” she said.
