Welcome

We specialize in caring for pets.



Paws by Parker & Burns is the pet side of Parker & Burns Funeral Home - the same family, the same building on South Halleck Street, and the same standard of care our neighbors in DeMotte already know us for.

From the moment we collect them until the moment they come home to you. Every step is handled by the people whose names are on the door. That is the whole promise, and it is one we can keep.

— Ryan Parker & Sebastian Burns, Owners

How We Can Help

Our Services

Simple, respectful choices - explained plainly, so you can decide what is right for your family.

Private Cremation

Your pet is cremated individually, on their own, and returned to you in the urn or keepsake you choose.

Urns & Keepsakes

Urns, clay paw print impressions, a lock of fur, and memorial jewelry - small things to keep them close.

Transportation

We come to your home or to your veterinarian's office, at whatever hour it happens, and bring your pet into our care.

Somewhere between hello and good-bye, there was love.
