Roselawn offers two ways to honor pets that have crossed over to the rainbow bridge. Cremation services are offered, allowing family to take home their pet's cremated remains in an urn. A pet cemetery is at the far east side of Roselawn Cemetery.
Text on cemetery plaque:
They say memories are golden,
well, maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
Several different pets are etched into this marker: several dogs, a cat, and a bird. At the base of the marker are a few mementos placed by families.
