Caring for your Entire Family

For more than 90 years Iowa City area families have placed their trust in Lensing Funeral and Cremation Service.  We are dedicated to serving your entire family--and we realize companion pets are important family members too. Pets are unconditionally loyal companions that profoundly touch our lives. Because pets bring us immeasurable happiness, love and joy, it can be devastating to lose such an adored friend. As trained funeral professionals, we understand the overwhelming sorrow that results from the death of a loved one, especially a four-legged companion. That's why we offer families individual pet cremations and customized memorial services to help you say goodbye to your pet in a loving and dignified manner.

Saying Goodbye

Our highly trained funeral professionals and associates understand how important it is to properly say goodbye to every member of your family. We encourage you to have a private Family Goodbye or hold a Memorial Ceremony in honor of your pet. This may be done in the serenity and comfort of our facilities or our outdoor meditation garden. Our staff is available to help your family create the perfect tribute to reflect your pet's unique life. These comforting events offer you and your family the opportunity to share stories about your beloved pet and say your final goodbyes. Please be aware that we welcome your other pets in our facilities, and we invite you to bring all of your pet family members to the gathering or ceremony so they can say their goodbyes as well. Finally, we offer you the opportunity to memorialize your cherished friend by expressing your love and telling their story through words and pictures on our Pet Tales Stories page. Sharing memories with others always helps to calm the soul. This is true for both your human losses, as well as as the loss of a pet companion.
