Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together…

Peninsula Pet Cremations works with families in Newport News and the surrounding cities. We understand that losing a pet can be difficult, and we make it our duty to help you and your family through this difficult transition. We offer a variety of services to honor the pets in our community, including cremation and personalized keepsakes.
Cremation Services
If you prefer cremation for your animal, our service coordinator will pick them up from your home or veterinarian’s office and bring them to the crematory where they will be respectfully cared for. Because cremation doesn’t require a plot of land, but still allows families to keep their pet with them, this option is growing in popularity. We offer a variety of pet urns for families to choose from on site, and we welcome you to browse our selection room to view your options.
If you need assistance with a pet cremation or burial, contact our staff today.
