"CASEY"
Rivers Edge Pet Crematorium has been in business since 2002 and during that time we have been providing exceptional local service for 17 Veterinary Clinics in La Crosse WI and the surrounding area. When my husband and I started Rivers Edge, our commitment then, as it is now, was to provide prompt compassionate care for your Pet. During this difficult time, our Veterinary Clinics and their clients appreciate the high level of professionalism and integrity afforded them. We pride ourselves on the respect and dignity shown to your Pet on their final journey. Rivers Edge sells a complete line of Pet Urns, Stone Memorials and Pet Caskets. Rivers Edge Pet Crematorium is family owned and located in a peaceful valley 20 miles south of La Crosse WI. We service each Pet at our facility in De Soto, WI. and they never leave our possession from the minute they are picked up, it is for this reason that we can guarantee our services. We are considered the La Crosse areas finest Pet Crematorium.
