Tacoma Mausoleum & Mortuary has been caring for local families for more than seventy years. In time, we made a commitment to extend our industry leadership and experience to include a very special member of your household - your beloved pet – by opening a pet division under the name Tacoma Pet Crematory. We take great pride in treating the pets that come into our care with the same standards of dignity, respect, and professionality that are legally mandated for the care of your human loved ones. 

Tacoma Pet Crematory has a specialized pet-only facility, and we welcome inquiries if you are curious about our services.
