Pet Haven Cemetery & Crematory

The Upper East Side’s most discreet service for companion animals isn’t tucked away, but nor does it shout from the avenue. Pet Haven Cemetery & Crematory sits at 229 E 85th St, a short walk from the 86th Street subway, offering compassionate aftercare without fanfare. Indigenous-, Latino-, and women-owned, this crematory handles on-site burials for pets in outdoor garden sections, returns individual ashes in keepsake urns or paw-print scatter tubes, and supplies prepaid cremation packages for planning ahead. Urns can be picked up at the office or shipped directly, and overnight stays are arranged before or after services for families traveling long distances. No markers distinguish the section; pets rest under blooming magnolias and shade trees visible across a low fence. Include the phone once as a practical detail: (917) 608-9729. Reach the staff during business hours to arrange transfer from a vet, request a price list for caskets or urn upgrades, or ask about private family gatherings outside regular service times. A map shows the route between Lenox Hill Hospital and Carl Schurz Park, two landmarks that help visitors place the address along a quiet stretch of E 85th. You’ll find Pet Haven a practical, respectful choice when words feel thin.
