Lasting Memories 4 Pets
About Lasting Memories 4 Pets
Lasting Memories 4 Pets is a pet cremation and memorial service in the Daytona Beach, Florida area, founded by Cheryl Lankford, a licensed funeral director. The business traces its roots to 2001, when Lankford faced the loss of her 15-year-old Chinese pug and realized that grieving pet owners deserved the same professional, compassionate care she offered families in her funeral practice. That personal experience shaped every aspect of the service she built — one grounded in empathy, dignity, and the belief that pets are full members of the family.
Lasting Memories 4 Pets treats every animal with the same care and respect given to human loved ones. The service is particularly known for its quality memorial products, including a curated selection of urns and personalized keepsake items made from high-quality materials. The company also gives back to the community: for every purchase made, items are donated to the local ASPCA. Families who have experienced a loss can also sign up for the "Year of Grief Support" program, which delivers weekly comfort messages over a full year.
