Cremation Options
With the recent opening of the Chace Family Crematory and Pet Cemetery by Michael Chace, co-owner of Strode Funeral Home, and his wife, Shannon, we are able to provide faster, better and more quality controlled service. We know your pet is very important to you and we will treat them with care and respect.
Strode Funeral Home’s Pet Care Center offers you a variety of cremation service packages, a complete line of sympathy cards, urns and caskets, customized memorials, and keepsake items. We can accommodate most household pets, regardless of size or weight, and we have a selection of packages that will help you cope with your loss and fit your budget needs. All packages include transfer of your pet to our facility, conference with a facility director, and care of your pet in our dedicated pet-only facility until the individual cremation or burial can take place. Our staff will be available 24-hours a day to receive your pet, meet with you about the way you want to honor your friend either through a memorial service, burial, or cremation. We will pick up your pet at your home, veterinary clinic, or OSU. We are here to serve you and your family in preserving your cherished memories.
