We began with grief and a vision.

Faithful Companions Pet Cemetery is a family owned and operated company, interested in providing pet parents with a quality, reliable and affordable service to meet your beloved pet’s end of life needs.

We were started in East Smithfield, Pennsylvania by Wayne McMichael over 40 years ago, and his son Al is our current owner/operator. Al’s daughter, Marissa, is our business manager and his son in law, Donnie, operates our Binghamton facility with Al’s son Nicholas among the trusted staff. Justin Lantz, who has been with us for over 15 years, is our Operations Manager and heads the team in our East Smithfield location. Our compassionate and professional staff, with over 75 years combined experience, treats each pet with the care and respect deserved.

We are licensed and certified in both Pennsylvania and New York to operate our 6 state of the art, environmentally safe crematories. Since 1988, Faithful Companions Pet Cemetery has been a member of the International Association of Pet Cemeteries and Crematories (IAOPCC), adhering to the guidelines they have set forth. We also offer two pet cemetery locations for private burial, the original location in East Smithfield, and Whispering Pines Pet Cemetery in Binghamton, NY, which is the final resting place of 1918 Kentucky Derby winner, Exterminator. Our goal is to offer you all of the benefits and services of our long experience in this final chapter of your pet’s life.
