Peace of Mind in Knowing Your Decisions Are The Right Ones
Our Family-Owned Pet Cremation Services & Team
Pet Cremation Services of East Tennessee was opened in 2009 to provide a much needed service to the East Tennessee area. It is family owned and operated by Rick and Shea Long. The Long’s have a daughter Logan, and a niece Emma, who are both involved in the business. Their black lab Farris works super hard daily bring smiles and tail wags while greeting visitors. Occasionally, you will see their spunky grand pup Rue running the property as well!
Rick began his work in the funeral industry as a licensed funeral director and embalmer. In 1986, he left the daily funeral home work to begin Long’s Grave Digging, eventually becoming Long’s Cemetery Maintenance, which services cemeteries and funeral homes throughout Tennessee. He maintains both his funeral director and embalmer licenses with the State of Tennessee.
Shea became a part of the company in 2004. She is a licensed funeral director with the State of Tennessee and has many years of experience in the funeral industry.
The Longs are both fully involved in the daily activities of the business and strive to offer the best care and service in the industry.
