By choosing burial within our perpetual care protected grounds you bring honor to those memories, and secure a beautiful and serene place that you and your family can always return to in order to reflect and keep those memories alive.

The feeling you get here at Cedar Hills is something you simply must experience yourself. One guest described it best, “When you are here you just feel the warmth of love.” So many years and so many memories are honored in this one place.

Burial Arrangements
Traditional burial for your pet is arranged in much the same manner as you would for a human family member. Costs vary depending on plot type, casket and memorial size and style, as well as services desired. Because we understand that personal preferences and financial circumstances vary, at Cedar Hills we offer a wide array of options. As a result, often people are surprised at just how affordable Traditional Burial can be.

Fees and arrangements can be discussed over the phone ,or you may prefer to set up an appointment to tour our grounds, and make your selections in person. The choice is always up to you. Contact our caring staff at 615-977-5524 or care@cedarhills.com.

Funerals & Viewing
The funeral is tailored to meet your specifications. Usually at Cedar Hills, families choose to spend a few final quiet moments together with their pet in our comfortable and relaxed private viewing room.  Although viewing is not required, for many it is an intricate part of the healing process.

At the gravesite the casket is lowered, and you are offered a symbolic first shovel of dirt.  The burial is then completed by our staff.

Burial Pre-Need Plots & Advanced Planning

Just like pre-need planning is important for your family, we strongly encourage a pre-need plan for your pets. Having all of the details planned out beforehand eases both the emotional and financial burden when the time comes. Pre-planning also delivers the added benefit of allowing you to prepay cemetery costs at today’s prices.

Knowing that every detail has been considered, and that you have made an informed decision in a state of calm, rather than in a time of sorrow, gives so much comfort. Additionally, many people choose to secure multiple plots at Cedar Hills to ensure that all of their family’s pets will be at rest together.

When the difficult time of loosing your pet does come, Cedar Hills caring staff works directly with your veterinarian, ensuring that your pet is always cared for in a dignified manner, and that every detail of your pre-planned final tribute is carried out exactly as you wish.
