Delmarva Pet Garden at Parsons Cemetery

About Delmarva Pet Garden at Parsons Cemetery

Delmarva Pet Garden at Parsons Cemetery is a dedicated pet memorial garden located within the historic Parsons Cemetery at 912 N Division St in Salisbury, Maryland. Established in 2022 through an anonymous donor's generous gift, the garden was created specifically to fill a gap in the region — providing a dignified, accessible location for pet owners to lay their beloved companions to rest when no close pet crematorium facilities were available for deposit. The garden serves both private pet owners and partners with local organizations to honor animals throughout the Delmarva community.

One of Delmarva Pet Garden's most meaningful community efforts is its partnership with the Salisbury Zoological Park. Since opening, the garden has provided interment of ashes and engraved memorial bricks at no charge for zoo animals — preserving the memory of animals that have entertained thousands of visitors over the years. This commitment to the broader animal community reflects the garden's mission to create a permanent, dignified place for all beloved animals. Families can view the current price list online to explore all available options.
