Hartsdale Pet Cemetery

Kim Zwisdak

We have had pets cremated here in the past and today unfortunately had to have my cat cremated. In the past, they were sympathetic and tried to make the experience bearable. They used to at least be a little comforting. After coming from the Emergency Vet we were greeted by a very uncaring blonde woman. After asking about the steep price increase and mentioning how we have been here numerous times in the last (not even a year ago), we were told it was under new management and basically brushed off that it hasn’t changed and this what the prices and packages have always been. She tried to brush us off like we were remembering wrong. It is a shame that this woman was the “face” of the cemetery is so uncaring and emotionless. During someone’s very sad time you would hope she would be a little more human and warm. At least, the man who took the paw print and did the cremation seemed to care and was empathetic. They only have one package, it used to go by weight and depending what urn or add ons you chose... it has gotten very expensive and you are just another dollar to them... such a pity.

In 2001 we lost our Pepper Sebastian and went to Hartsdale for services I never forgot how Beautiful and kind the staff were then. This year we lost Cash then last week his sister Lola. I contacted Kristine and she did everything for us. It was amazing how she remembered us when we bought Lola last week. Patrick and Carlos took care of viewing and cremation, no words can express their kindness and caring to our family. Thank you all so much. God Bless Ms. Santiago and Family.

Under the new ownership the crematory has become prohibitively expensive, the staff no longer exudes comfort and trust, and the grounds do not seem to be taken care of as well as they used to be (there was an unevenness in one of the walkways and the chrysanthemums needed watering). It seems to be operating solely on money interests. It's a shame, given it is such an iconic, unique place that used to feel like a sanctuary.

This pet thrown to the Heavens has been around for over a 100 years. It is certainly is the right place for those who love animals and want to see them burried in the right place and honored forever. They have mausoleums too. It's certainly touching to see how far people will go to remember their pets. Our friends have operated this family owned business since its inception. It even has a small funeral parlor so you can say good bye to your animal one last time. My family has four animals buried here, 4 dogs. Also, my Godparents has the most intelligent Dog I've ever met in my life resting here as well. 'Peppi!' God bring to Heaven our beloved friends. If you have a desire to bury your animal with some dignity, try this pet cemetery. Cheers.
