Homeward Bound Pet Crematory & Cemetery Services Included:
The bond you share with a pet can last long after they are gone. Homeward Bound Pet Crematory & Cemetery helps Edwardsville, IL pet owners preserve those memories with thoughtful memorial and aftercare choices.
Families may select from pet urns, caskets, grave markers, cemetery arrangements, cremation services, burials, and personalized tributes. These options make it possible to create a remembrance that reflects the personality and importance of your companion.
Create a Lasting Tribute
Some families find comfort in keeping an urn at home, while others prefer a cemetery memorial they can visit. There is no single way to remember a pet, and Homeward Bound provides several choices to help families decide what feels right.
We also offer alkaline hydrolysis for those looking for a gentle and environmentally conscious alternative to traditional cremation. This process uses substantially less energy and reduces the environmental impact associated with flame based methods.
Another benefit of alkaline hydrolysis is the potential for more of your pet’s remains to be returned to your family. Those remains can then be placed in an urn or incorporated into another meaningful memorial.
Homeward Bound proudly assists Edwardsville families with pet memorials, cremation, burial, and remembrance services.

What can I do with my pet's cremated remains?
Many families keep cremains in a pet urn, place them in a memorial, scatter them in a meaningful location where permitted, or divide them among family members. Homeward Bound also offers memorial products that can help create a lasting tribute.
