Harbour Light Pet Funeral Services
Harbour Light was created to offer something deeply needed, yet often missing - a calm, compassionate, and dignified way to say goodbye to a beloved pet.
We believe pets are family. And when they pass, they deserve the same care, respect, and thoughtful farewell as any loved one.
Marko Cerda, Pet Aftercare Specialist
Marko completed extensive education through the Canadian College of Funeral Service in Vancouver - one of Canada's leading institutions for funeral professionals. This background brings a level of professionalism rarely found in pet aftercare.
Training includes:
Marko and his family are lifelong cat and dog owners who have experienced the loss of beloved companions firsthand. They understand the depth of that grief - the quiet absence, the broken routines, and the sense of loss that is real and deserving of recognition, not dismissal.
Our promise to every family:
We never use cargo vans. Your beloved companion is transported in a clean, unmarked electric vehicle.
We give every family the time they need to say goodbye.
We wear professional attire and treat every pet with the utmost dignity and compassion.
No hidden fees. No unexpected charges. You'll always know exactly what to expect.
Every pet is cared for as though they were our own.
We never treat pets like cargo and never use garbage bags or anything that diminishes their dignity.
From the moment they enter our care until they are returned home, your beloved companion is treated with meticulous attention and respect.
"When they pass, the pain we feel is valid, significant, and worthy of support."
Harbour Light was founded from this understanding. We believe that thoughtfully guided celebrations of life can help ease that pain - incorporating meaningful elements from traditional funeral services such as remembrance, storytelling, and ceremony to create space for reflection, connection, and healing.
These rituals help families acknowledge their loss, celebrate the life that was lived, and begin the journey toward healthy grieving.
At the heart of what we offer is the Harbour Light Signature Celebration of Life Ceremony™ - Available upon your family's request with every package, our Signature Celebration of Life Ceremony™ brings the warmth and ritual of a traditional funeral service into the comfort of your home - with readings, remembrance, and space to say goodbye in your own way.
As a mobile pet funeral service, we bring this experience directly into your home - creating a comfortable and familiar setting where you can say goodbye in your own way, on your own terms.
We come to you, allowing your pet's farewell to take place in the space they knew and loved best.
Meaningful rituals - remembrance, storytelling, reflection - that help families honour and process their loss.
Your timeline, your preferences, your farewell - guided with calm expertise and deep respect.
Aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis) is a water-based alternative to traditional flame cremation. It uses a gentle flow of warm water to accelerate the natural decomposition process - a more sustainable and peaceful way to honour a beloved pet.
Uses 90% less energy than flame cremation and produces no greenhouse gas emissions.
A peaceful process that mimics nature - without the use of flame or harsh chemicals.
Families typically receive 20% more remains back - pure white in appearance and beautifully fine.
At Harbour Light Pet Funeral Services, we are honoured to walk alongside you during one of life's most difficult moments.
Helping you remember, honour, and begin to heal.
