When Tom and Bethany Eckert met in college and eventually married, they had a mission from the start.
They both loved serving others and shared a deep affection for animals. Like many, they had experienced the loss of a beloved pet and wanted to help families say goodbye with dignity and respect.
Not only was it important for the couple to provide care and love for animals, but they also have a passion for comforting pet owners through the pain of losing their four-legged family members.
At Forever Above Pet Cremation and Memorial Center in Westfield, the Eckerts handle the cremation of pets and also offer a memorial center where families can hold a funeral for their pets.
They work with local animal hospitals and veterinary clinics, as well as directly with pet owners. They offer pickup from either location and return the pet’s remains with a certificate of cremation.
Packages are available that include clay paw impressions, fur clippings, an urn and more.
Ultimately, the Eckerts hope to provide comfort to those going through a difficult time.
“We look forward to caring for you during the loss of your treasured pet, while bringing respect and dignity to their memory,” Tom Eckert said.
