Who We Are
No one better understands the feelings and emotions of losing a beloved pet than the staff of Eastern Carolina Pet Cremation. Ginny and Alberto founded Eastern Carolina Pet Cremation in 2009 when Ginny realized that pets were not receiving truly individualized cremations.
She took it upon herself to pioneer this challenge and worked hand in hand with a company to successfully create a new, custom cremation machine that would allow pets to have respectful, individual cremations. A different machine is used for communal and individual cremations and each machine emits less emission than a tractor-trailer. Eastern Carolina Pet Cremation paved the way to provide a next level of comfort to grieving pet parents.
