At Paws 'n Reflect in Statesboro, owner Laura Moore knows the pain of losing a beloved family pet. Laura and her staff have been involved in the funeral industry for years and are lifelong pet owners.
Since its founding in 2008, Paws 'n Reflect has served families in Statesboro and the surrounding areas experiencing this heartbreaking loss with compassion.
Recognizing the emotional toll that the loss of a pet can have on families, this locally-owned and operated business has dedicated itself to providing personalized pet cremation services, a comforting environment, and a range of keepsakes to honor pets’ memories.
The staff of Paws ‘n Reflect knows pets are valued and cherished members of the family, and they will always treat your pet as a member of their own family to ensure that your pet receives the dignity and respect they deserve when it's time for them to cross over the Rainbow Bridge.
Read on to learn more about their services.
A Service with Heart
At Paws 'n Reflect, the team understands the extra special bond between pets and their owners. They truly know how much a pet can mean to a family.
“We know the impact family pets have on people’s lives and the void they leave when they pass away,” Moore said. “Our goal is to offer a dignified, compassionate service that helps people say their final goodbyes in a peaceful way.”
The company offers private cremation services, allowing families to memorialize their pets in a way that feels right for them.
Many pet owners prefer to say goodbye to their pets in the comfort of their own homes rather than at the vet’s office. For this reason, Paws 'n Reflect provides pick-up services from both homes and veterinary offices, ensuring families can have a more personal and comforting experience.
They also offer a tranquil space where families can spend time with their pets before their final goodbye, providing a warm and comforting environment to help ease the grieving process.
Paws 'n Reflect is honored to have served several military and service dogs, as well, some of which had served in active duty alongside their handlers.
The dedication and service of these animals is not forgotten, and Paws 'n Reflect provides the same level of care and respect to these special pets as they do to all others.
Personalized Obituaries and Keepsakes
To help families honor the lives of their pets, Paws 'n Reflect also introduced pet obituaries a few years ago.
“We feel it is comforting and part of their healing to share with others the life of their pet and how their pet touched their lives,” Moore shares. Whether families write their own obituary or receive assistance from the staff, the service gives owners a chance to reflect on and share the memories of their pet.
In addition, Paws 'n Reflect offers various keepsake items, including jewelry and other personalized mementos, to help families preserve the memory of their beloved pets. These items allow owners to keep a piece of their pet close to them and provide comfort during the grieving process. For families with children, special keepsakes are available to help young ones cope with their loss.
Grief Support for Pet Families
Because of the emotional toll that pet loss can have, Paws 'n Reflect also offers grief support for people of all ages. Studies show that the loss of a pet can be just as devastating as losing a human family member, and the staff knows that grieving is a personal process with no set timeline.
To support people through this journey, Paws 'n Reflect provides printed materials to guide them through their grief, offering comfort as they navigate their emotions.
A Commitment to Community and Growth
For over 17 years, Paws 'n Reflect has served as the area's most experienced pet cremation provider. The team is deeply rooted in the community, with all team members hailing from Statesboro and proudly calling Bulloch County home.
The business is committed to continuing its growth and to serving the community by offering new services to support individuals through their grief.
Currently, the team at Paws 'n Reflect is planning to build a Rainbow Bridge memorial—a peaceful space where families can visit and reflect on the life of their beloved pets. The memorial will provide a serene setting for pet families to honor their furry companions, and Paws 'n Reflect is excited to share more details about the project soon.
A Final Tribute to a Beloved Pet
The loss of a pet leaves a profound void, and Paws 'n Reflect is committed to helping families navigate the grief and honor their pets' memories.
“We treat every pet that comes into our care as if it were one of our own,” Moore shared. “They are treated with dignity and respect throughout their time with us.”
Paws 'n Reflect believes that honoring a pet not only helps with the grieving process but also preserves the special bond shared between the pet and their owner.
“Our pets love us unconditionally even when we don't deserve their love,” the team shares. “With great love comes great loss, and we are here to support families during this difficult time.”
Their team remains dedicated to providing compassionate care, support, and tribute for every beloved pet.
