Golden Haven, a name synonymous with dignified memorial care, has expanded its compassionate services to include our furry companions. The recent launch of their pet crematorium in Cagayan de Oro marks a significant step in recognizing the vital role pets play in our lives. The well-attended ceremony underscored the growing understanding of pet care as a crucial part of responsible pet ownership.
The event began with a solemn blessing, setting the tone for Golden Haven’s mission to provide respectful farewells for beloved pets. Ma’am Emy Lustado, VisMin Operations Head at Golden Haven, and a fur parent herself, delivered a heartfelt speech that resonated with everyone present. She spoke eloquently about the profound emotional bond between pet owners and their cherished companions, acknowledging that pets are more than just animals; they’re family.
“As a fur parent, I understand the pain of losing a beloved pet,” shared Lustado. “They are not just animals; they are family. We share our lives, our joys, and even our sorrows with them. At Golden Haven, we believe that every pet deserves a loving and dignified farewell.” Lustado explained that the decision to bring pet memorialization services to Cagayan de Oro stemmed from a desire to meet this growing need and ensure that every “furbaby” receives the honor and respect they deserve.
Lustado also emphasized the importance of pet memorialization as a way for owners to find closure and meaningfully honor their pets’ memories. “Losing a pet is never easy, but knowing they are laid to rest with love and dignity brings comfort,” she added. “This is what we want to offer to every pet owner in CDO—a place where they can say goodbye with peace in their hearts.”
Councilor Jay Roa Pascual also graced the occasion, recognizing the initiative as a significant advancement in pet welfare within the city. His presence, along with the overwhelming community support, reinforced the need for such dedicated services.
Golden Haven’s expansion into Cagayan de Oro reflects their ongoing commitment to compassionate memorial care. They are clearly dedicated to being a trusted partner for pet owners as they navigate the difficult journey of losing a beloved animal. As more communities embrace this movement, Golden Haven remains committed to providing the highest level of service and upholding the Gold Standard in Memorial Care.
