History & Staff

We have years of experience caring for families, from all walks of life. Each family comes to us because they know we are leaders in our profession, dedicated to excellence in service, and have the highest integrity.

Our History

Our History

We believe that pets are part of the family, too, and we believe that they deserve the best possible care when they must leave us. This is why we’ve established Quad Cities Pet Cremation.

A welcoming and comfortable place is important when you’re dealing with these difficult circumstances, so we started with a building that provides easy access and then added some comfortable surroundings.

NOTE: We ask that you call ahead to schedule an appointment to ensure prompt assistance. (We may be away from the cremation center, assisting families at the vet clinics.)

Conveniently located from any direction, our facility offers ease of access on River Drive between Bettendorf and Interstate 80.
