Honor Thy Pet Cremation Services

About Honor Thy Pet Cremation Services

Honor Thy Pet Cremation Services was founded in 2004 by the Yebba Family in Tampa, Florida, in response to a recognized gap in dignified aftercare options for pets in the region. At the time, services available to grieving pet families were limited — so Honor Thy Pet built a business from the ground up to fill that need, guided by a licensed funeral director with more than 30 years of experience in traditional funeral homes. The company is credited with pioneering the philosophy of treating pets with the same honor and dignity extended to people, a standard that has since been widely embraced by other providers throughout the Tampa Bay area. Honor Thy Pet is located at 2601 E 4th Ave, Tampa, FL 33605.

Honor Thy Pet serves families across a broad geographic region, with dedicated phone lines for Hillsborough (813-957-7301), Pinellas (727-447-6980), Manatee/Sarasota (941-722-5507), and Polk (863-393-6891) counties. Staff are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including the ability to respond within the hour for families with immediate needs. The company's four-acre Companions Memorial Pet Cemetery provides a traditional burial option with a Butterfly Garden where memorial cremation ashes can be interred, offering families a physical place to visit and remember their companions long after their passing.

What to Expect

Whether you call in an immediate crisis or want to plan ahead for an ailing pet, Honor Thy Pet's staff are trained to guide you with the same professionalism and empathy that a licensed funeral director brings to traditional human funeral arrangements. Private cremation means your pet is the only animal in the cremation machine, and their ashes are returned exclusively to you. Families who prefer a memorial garden can choose to have ashes interred in the Butterfly Garden at Companions Memorial Pet Cemetery, with the option to purchase a commemorative wall plaque. Traditional cemetery burial plots are also available at the four-acre grounds. For families choosing home burial, Honor Thy Pet offers hermetically sealed caskets that serve as both an outer container and burial unit. A wide selection of urns, pendants, and memorial markers rounds out the options, all available through the team.
