About Arlington Memorial Park — Pet Cemetery
Arlington Memorial Park in Rockford, Illinois is home to Charles Street Pet Cemetery, a dedicated pet burial and cremation service located within a designated section of the park known as Petland. Situated at 6202 Charles Street, the pet cemetery operates as a separate business entity from Arlington Memorial Park — sharing office space and staffing — while occupying its own clearly defined grounds within the larger cemetery. This arrangement gives pet families access to beautifully maintained surroundings and professional cemetery infrastructure while receiving care focused specifically on the unique needs of pet loss.
The service area for Charles Street Pet Cemetery encompasses the Rockford metro area, including Loves Park and Machesney Park, as well as families throughout Winnebago, Boone, and Ogle counties. The staff at the cemetery are noted for their empathetic approach and their ability to guide families through what can be an overwhelming set of decisions. They encourage families to visit the on-site office before their pet's passing so that burial or cremation plans can be made in advance — a process that can bring genuine peace of mind when the difficult moment arrives.
