Since 1988, Raymond and Barbara Bounds of Belspur Oaks Pet Crematory have offered Gulf Coast pet owners compassionate cremation services. Deceased pets can be brought in by owners or picked up at the veterinary office. Cremations are usually performed the same day, each animal is cremated individually and the remains are placed into a decorative urn of the owner's choosing. In addition, the Bounds offer a pet loss support group through Bentley's House on the third Thursday of every month at the United Church of Sarasota from 7pm - 8pm.
