A Business Born from Love and Loss
Every great business starts with a purpose, and Pet Passages® is no exception. It was founded to fill a critical gap in the pet aftercare industry—one that our founder, Michael Harris, experienced firsthand.
“I am a third-generation licensed funeral home director and spent over 20 years in my family’s funeral home. In 2008, I lost my two best friends, Rottweilers Luke and Hannah. I searched extensively for a compassionate pet funeral and cremation service but was met with unprofessionalism and a serious lack of dignity for my beloved pets.
That heartbreaking experience led me to devote my life to creating a space where pets are honored with the same care and respect as any other family member. Pet Passages® was born out of my deep personal loss and desire to change the industry.”
With the instant success of Pet Passages®, the next logical step was franchising this transformative approach and offering it to every community – because every pet parent deserves access to the experience that Pet Passages® provides.
