A Heartfelt Thank You from Hitchcock Memorials and Adored Pets Cremations

After many years of serving families throughout the Tri-Cities region, Hitchcock Memorials and Adored Pets Cremations announces the closure of its operations.

We are deeply grateful to the countless families who entrusted us with their monument, memorialization, and pet aftercare needs over the years. It has been our honor to help preserve the memories of loved ones through lasting memorials and to provide compassionate care for beloved pets during difficult times.

The trust, loyalty, and support we have received from families across Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and the surrounding communities have meant more to us than words can express. We are proud to have been a small part of so many lives and honored by the confidence placed in our team.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the funeral homes, veterinary clinics, community partners, and dedicated employees who supported our mission and helped us serve this region with compassion and professionalism.

Heritage will continue to focus on our core business of serving families in our many funeral homes in the area.

Hitchcock Memorials will stop taking orders June 22nd but will finish all current orders by December 31, 2026.

Adored Pets will stop bringing pets into our care on August 7th and will cease operations on August 14th.

As we close this chapter, we do so with gratitude for the relationships we have built and the memories we have shared. Thank you for allowing Hitchcock Memorials and Adored Pets Cremations to serve the Tri-Cities area for so many years.

It has truly been our privilege.
