Life Cycle Pet Cremation, Inc. (doing business as Radiant Heart After-Care for Pets) is a woman-owned, pet-only funeral home and on-site cremation service located in Bellingham, WA. Radiant Heart makes an enormous difference for grieving pet parents by offering exceptional after-care for their pets. (See Testimonials on our website: https://radiant-heart.net/testimonials/.)
Radiant Heart provides a level of service that is uncommon in the pet cremation industry. Our team members are willing to go above and beyond to ensure that pets and pet parents are treated with respect. We offer both eco-friendly water cremation and traditional flame cremation. We have a lovely facility that is 100% open to the public and designed to be reassuring and comforting to grieving pet parents. We are constantly searching for unique and high-quality products to offer to our clients, focusing on local and regional artists and artisans. We routinely give back to the community by sponsoring events hosted by pet charities and offering discounted services for foster pets. We also believe in continuing education for our staff and strive to be up-to-date on issues of pet bereavement and options for pet cremation.
