Forever Friends Pet Funeral Home and Crematory began in 2002 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, to give pets the same dignity, respect, and compassion families expect for human loved ones. Our purpose-built facility, on-site crematory, and quiet viewing room reflect that promise.
Today, our pet cremation franchise brings this care model to new communities with clear cremation options, memorialization choices, and training that puts families first.
Ready to see the full story?
A funeral director for nearly four decades, Bob grew up in his family’s funeral home and came to believe that pets deserve the same dignity and care as people. In 2002, driven by that conviction, he opened Forever Friends Pet Funeral Home and Crematory in Green Bay—the first purpose-built, pet-only facility of its kind with private viewing spaces and a dedicated crematory. Guided by deep compassion and a calling to serve, Bob has built Forever Friends around the belief that honoring the loss of a pet should mirror the respect families expect for their loved ones, a vision that now powers our growing pet cremation franchise.
Own a business where compassion meets opportunity. We give our Forever Friends Pet Funeral Home and Crematory franchise owners the tools, support, and trusted brand recognition to build a rewarding pet-focused franchise in their community.
