Gateway Pet Cemetery & Crematory

About Gateway Pet Cemetery & Crematory
Gateway Pet Cemetery & Crematory is a state-protected, family-owned and operated cemetery and crematory located at 3850 Frontage Road in San Bernardino, California. Founded in 1959, Gateway is one of Southern California's longest-serving pet aftercare facilities, with more than six decades of experience caring for the companions of families throughout Riverside County, San Bernardino County, and parts of Los Angeles County. The family behind Gateway operates with a clear philosophy: they don't bury and cremate animals — they bury and cremate pets, recognizing each one as a true member of the family.
Gateway is notable for the breadth of animals they serve — from small exotics like parakeets and Persian cats to dogs of all sizes and even equines and other large animals. Their equine services program is one of the few in the region to offer both burial and cremation for horses and similarly sized pets. Families can also take advantage of Gateway's pre-need arrangement program, which allows you to plan and pay for your pet's burial or cremation in advance, removing the emotional burden of making those decisions in a moment of grief. During business hours, pet drop-off is free with no appointment required, and pickup from home or from a veterinary office is available for a small fee.
Services Offered
Gateway Pet Cemetery & Crematory provides the following services to families in the San Bernardino, California area:
- Private cremation (cedar urn, clay paw imprint, cremation certificate, memorial poem)
- Cremation with burial (cremation plot, front gate key for visitation)
- Burial only (lined casket, flower vase, front gate key, optional site marker)

What to Expect
Families can bring their pet directly to Gateway during regular business hours at no charge, or call ahead to arrange a pickup from their home or from a veterinary clinic. For those who choose private cremation, the package includes a cedar urn with a brass nameplate engraved with your pet's name, a clay paw imprint keepsake, a cremation certificate, and a memorial poem — small but meaningful details that families consistently note in their testimonials. Those who select cremation with burial receive a dedicated plot and a key to the front gate, giving them ongoing access to visit their pet's resting place. Gateway's six-plus decades in San Bernardino reflect a deep commitment to treating every family, and every pet, with the care they deserve.
