Why should you use our services?



Resting Paws is a locally based pet crematory proudly serving Staten Island and the surrounding areas.
With over 25 years of experience as a licensed Funeral Director, my family and I understand the importance of personal care and attention during a family's time of loss.
We are Staten Island's only operating pet crematory and are fully licensed, certified and insured.
We work one-on-one with each family, providing personal attention throughout the entire process.
Your pet stays in the care of Resting Paws and the trusted professionals we personally choose to represent us.
Whether you choose burial or cremation for your companion, we are personally involved every step of the way.
When cremation is chosen, we personally transport your pet to the crematory and return your pet to you. Third-party transportation is only used when requested and with the pet owner's consent.
Private cremations are typically completed within a few days—and often within hours—rather than the extended wait associated with other services.
We are pet parents too. We understand the bond you share with your companion because we have experienced that love—and that loss—ourselves. That understanding guides everything we do.
