Greenville: DignityPet Mortuary Service. Because Pets are People Too, we offer Dignity for your pet. Too often, it's easier to say it's just a pet, bury it in the back yard. But you have to ask, where will YOU be in twenty years? Will you have made the right choice to bury behind your home? Allow us to safely care for your pet in a well maintained, perpetual cemetery. We are associated with Concerned Citizens for Animals in which your purchase helps to support rescued adult dogs unwanted by their owners. Because we care, we also offer Dignified Pet Cremation Packages. From just $100 for a small pet, we pick up, cremate, and deliver back home your precious pet angel's remains. Allow us to help. We're located at 310 Rutherford St., Ste B, Greenville, SC 29609, 864-303-6606. Go to http://www.dignitypetmortuaryservice.com or call us for more information. E-mail: dignitypetservices@yahoo.com
