Coleman Pet Services now offering pet obituaries
Kimber Scout, a 6-year-old Irish Wolfhound, will be remembered for infectious smile and caring heart.
Remembrances recall sweet and quirky pet personalities
Kimber Scout, a 6-year-old Irish wolfhound, loved going for walks, eating cookies and snuggles. Lucy, a 15-year-old Rottweiler-Lab mix, will be remembered for her exceedingly sweet demeanor — and for her habit of mischievously blocking doorways so other dogs couldn’t pass.
Such are the remembrances of pet owners in North Mississippi, who are now receiving encouraging comments from both friends and strangers as part of Coleman Pet Services’ new pet obituaries. Pet owners who use Coleman Pet Services for cremations and memorials now also have the chance to share a story and photo about their pet. The pet obituaries are shared on the Coleman Pet Services Facebook page, which has more than 1,800 followers.
Coleman Pet Services is a division of Coleman Funeral Home, which operates a separate crematory just for pets.
“We truly believe that pets are worth celebrating,” said Glenn Coleman, co-owner of Coleman Funeral Home. “Every grieving family deserves the opportunity to share photos and memories of their departed pet. Our pets play such an important role in the lives of our families. It only makes sense to provide obituaries for them, too.”
Obituaries can be viewed at www.facebook.com/ColemanPetServices/. There is no additional charge for the obituary posting.
Coleman Pet Services provides pet cremation services for families across North Mississippi from its funeral home locations in Oxford, Southaven and Olive Branch.

Pet owners can keep or bury their pet’s remains in a simple canister urn, or they can choose from a variety of engraved urns, monuments and even cremation jewelry. Grave markers are also available.
