Funeral & Cremation Service
Full service post life pet care
Saying goodbye is never easy. At Resting Paws Funeral & Cremation Service (Resting Paws) we are aware of your needs and we truly share in your grief. While we can never possibly say we know what you are going through, we can most certainly express our sympathy towards you and your beloved companion through our services.
Traditionally, when it has come time to let our pet’s go our options have been few. Resting Paws was founded with the belief that there is more we can do for our beloved companions at the end of their lives than just say goodbye. We feel that by offering several different options and ways for you to memorialize your pet's life, it can provide a sense of comfort and closure to you and your family.
We do not see a difference when it comes to grief. Losing a human family member or a beloved pet can be equally devastating. All those involved will handle and deal with the loss differently.
Simply put, we should return unconditional love! From the initial phone call my wife, myself or one of our caring professionals are available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to handle every aspect of your pet's funeral arrangements. We will personally pick up your companion from your home or veterinarian's office and gently transport them in a caring and loving manor to our location at which time arrangements can be made for them.

Pick up and Transportation
When a beloved pet passes away, it doesn't take long for confusion and uncertainty to set in. Questions such as, What do we do now? Should we leave them here? Where do we take them? What should we wrap them in? Is our veterinarian open?, can quickly become overwhelming.
At Resting Paws, we're here to help guide you through those first difficult moments. Our compassionate team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to respond when you need us most. With the utmost care, respect, and dignity, we will come directly to your home or your pet's place of passing, gently transport your beloved companion to our facility, and care for them until the arrangements you have chosen can be carried out.
You don't have to navigate this difficult time alone—we're here to support you every step of the way.
Arrangements
Following the loss of your pet, our caring team will gently guide you through the arrangements and help you understand the memorial options available. Every family is unique, and every pet holds a special place in the hearts of those who loved them.
We take the time to listen, answer your questions, and help you choose the services that best honor your companion's life. Whether you choose a private or communal cremation, or a more personalized memorial, every pet entrusted to our care is treated with the utmost dignity, respect, and compassion.
From the smallest family pet to the largest, Resting Paws is committed to supporting you every step of the way. Our goal is to provide comfort, guidance, and peace of mind during one of life's most difficult times.
Cremation Options
Private vs. Communal Cremation
We understand that every family has different wishes when it comes to honoring the life of their beloved Pet. We offer both Private and Communal Cremation services, allowing you to choose the option that best meets your family's needs.
Private Cremation
With a Private Cremation, your pet is cremated individually, ensuring they are the only pet in the cremation chamber throughout the entire process. Once the cremation is complete, your pet's cremated remains are carefully collected, placed in the urn you have selected, and returned to you.
Communal Cremation
With a Communal Cremation, several pets are cremated during the same cremation cycle. Because the cremated remains naturally become commingled during the process, it is not possible to separate or return an individual pet's ashes.
Although cremated remains are not returned, some families still choose to honor their companion's memory with one of our Tributes of Remembrance, including keepsakes and memorial items that celebrate the special bond they shared.
No matter which option you choose, every pet entrusted to our care is treated with the same compassion, dignity, and respect they deserve.
Burial Options
For families who choose burial, several factors may influence the available options, including where you live and where you wish your beloved pet to be laid to rest.
We are here to discuss your wishes, explain the available options, and help you determine the solution that best meets your family's personal, legal, and logistical needs.
Whether you are considering burial at home (where permitted), in a pet cemetery, or another approved location, we will guide you through the process.
Resting Paws is affiliated with The Cemetery for All Gods Creatures, located in Richmondtown here on Staten Island. Please note, your pet will need to be cremated prior to burial at this location. Link below in the "Helpful Resources" tab.
How is my Pet is returned?
Standard Package
This photo depicts the standard way your pet will be returned ~ Nameplate & Paw Print Stand sold separately. Upgraded Photo Urns available.
Your pet's paw print is unique. Each will vary in size, shape & texture. Urn color may vary slightly due to natural wood grain
Why should you use our services?
As a licensed Funeral Director for over 25 years myself and my family know very well the importance of “Personal Care”.
We are Staten Island's ONLY operating Pet Crematorium. Fully licensed, certified and Insured.
We will work one on one with your family to provide the care that is needed during this difficult time.
We, and the respected professionals that we trust to represent us ONLY handle your pet.
Whatever you choose as the disposition for your companion burial or cremation we are personally involved with every step.
When cremation is chosen, your pet is transported by us to the crematory and returned to you by us from the crematory. A third party courier or delivery service will only be used if requested along with the consent of the pets owner.
When private cremation is chosen your pet is returned within a few days, if not hours after the arrangements have been made. Whereas other services typically could take up to 10 days or more.
You have the peace of mind knowing that your pet is being handled with the love and respect they deserve.
We are pet parents too. We understand the bond you share with your companion because we have experienced that love—and that loss—ourselves. It is this understanding that guides everything we do.
"The animals possess a soul and men must love and feel solidarity with our smaller brethren".
"All animals are fruit of the creative action of the Holy Spirit and merit respect. They are as near to God as men are".
~ Pope John Paul II ~

Advance Planning
The loss of a beloved pet is one of life's most difficult experiences. Yet many families never have the opportunity to think about what happens after their pet passes away. Often, they don't realize they have choices—or simply aren't aware of the options available.
You do have options.
When a cherished companion passes, it's natural for questions to arise:
-
What will happen to my pet?
-
Who should I call?
-
What do I do if my pet passes away at home?
-
Can I bring my pet home from the veterinary office?
-
I don't want to leave them there—they're family.
These questions can feel overwhelming, especially during an emotional time. That's why Advance Planning can make such a meaningful difference. Taking just a few minutes to learn about your options before they're needed can help reduce stress, provide peace of mind, and allow you to focus on what matters most—honoring your pet and grieving without unnecessary uncertainty.
Below are just a few of the reasons families choose to speak with us about Advance Planning.
~ Knowing ahead of time what options are available for you & your pet.
~ Making Logical decisions opposed to emotional ones.
~ Learning about payment options.
~ Reduces the anxiety about what is going to happen at the end of your pet's life.
~ Learn how to care for your pet's body once they have died.
~ Allows you & your family time to discuss memorialization options for your pet that may help cope with the loss.
~ Becoming familiar with our team and facility, provides a sense of comfort knowing who will be handling your pets body and where the cremation takes place. ( Facility tours can be arranged when pre-planning services - BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. )
~ Providing the necessary information ahead of time that will be needed to preform selected services when the need arises.
