Best Facilities. Guaranteed! Mike Harris, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, is a third generation funeral director. In the late spring of 2008, within a short two months, Mike lost his two best friends and family members, Rottweilers Hannah and Luke. Devastated by the deaths of his loving companions, Mike wanted to give his deceased pets the same love and respect in death as he gave them in life, just as it would be for any one of his human family members. As Mike researched and learned the options available to him in the Pet loss industry, he was appalled by the treatment and lack of dignity and care these beloved pets received upon their passing. Everywhere he looked he found the same mistreatment
His loss then became his dream and dedication. Given his education, training, experience and family heritage, Mike knew it was his responsibility to improve the quality of Pet loss care not just in his home town but across the nation. He set to gather as much information and learn as much as he could about Pet loss services. In 2009, Pets At Peace by Harris Funeral Home was created. With the instant success of their new pet funeral home and crematory, Mike realized that with his business model, training and experience, he could help pet parents all over the country. In August of 2011 , he created Pet Passages, a company that truly set the standard of dignified, highest quality care for the this ever expanding Pet loss industry. Mike’s dedication to loving care and professionalism, combined with the latest technology and training has made Pet Passages the absolute best providers of pet funeral and cremation services.
