About Faithful Friends Memory Gardens and Crematorium

Faithful Friends Memory Gardens and Crematorium is the dedicated pet memorial program of Gatens-Harding Funeral Home, serving families in Red House, West Virginia and the surrounding region. The crematory is located at 57 Harding Drive in Red House, with the funeral home's primary office at 147 Main St., Poca, WV. Faithful Friends draws on the professional expertise and compassionate care standards of a full-service funeral operation to provide dignified burial and cremation services for pets. Every pet in their care receives an identification tag that remains in place throughout the cremation or burial process, ensuring accurate identification and transparent record-keeping.

Faithful Friends offers families two distinct pathways: ground burial in a beautifully maintained perpetual care garden (with a dedicated fund ensuring ongoing upkeep), or cremation with a variety of urns and memorial keepsakes. Transfer from your veterinary office, hospital, or home is available for $50 within 25 miles — or families may deliver their pet directly to the crematory. Pricing for cremation is based on the pet's weight, ranging from $60 for pets under 3 lbs to $197 for pets between 121 and 200 lbs.
