About Best Friend Pet Cremation Inc.

Best Friend Pet Cremation Inc. is a family-owned and operated pet cremation provider in Parkville, Maryland, serving the Baltimore area since 2004. The business has been family-run for over 20 years and operates as the only pet crematorium in Baltimore County — a distinction they take seriously. Their mission is straightforward: provide individual, caring cremation services to families who choose cremation for their beloved pet. Every pet is cremated one at a time, separately, regardless of circumstances. Even in cases where a family loses multiple pets simultaneously, each is cremated individually. The business distinguishes this from what some providers call "private" cremation, which may still involve multiple animals.

Best Friend Pet Cremation serves families across Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel, Carroll, Harford, and Howard Counties, as well as parts of Southern Pennsylvania. They operate by appointment only, ensuring each family has complete privacy with their pet during the process. Pickup from a home or veterinary clinic is available for an additional fee. Cremains are returned to families within 48 to 72 hours of pickup, and same-day cremation is available by appointment if the pet is brought in by 2 p.m. on weekdays or 11 a.m. on Saturdays. Families can also arrange to witness the cremation (by appointment, with an additional fee).
