Pet Memorial Parks at Bideawee on Long Island has been a resting place for over 65,000 animals since 1916. They offer a wide variety of memorial services, from burial/cremation to transportation. In fact, some notable figures have buried their pets in Pet Memorial Parks – for example, Richard Nixon, who buried his pet dog Checkers while he was still practicing law.

According to Maureen Fergus, Bideawee’s Special Projects Manager, around 450 cremations and 400 burials are performed each year. While cats and dogs are mostly brought into the park, there are also other unique animals such as a pet skunk, an alligator, and a giant tortoise.

In September, they will be celebrating Pet Memorial Day at the Wantagh location. This celebration is open to the public and there will be various activities such as candle lighting, tree seedling distribution, and more.
